#206 Love and Hearts challenge

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

I love this challenge.

It is Valentine's month, after all.

For this card, I chose my love for pets.

And here's the tutorial.

Materials I used.

LCD Crackle background,

LCD Spike and Lucy,

CV Doghair.

Craft Emotions stencil

Acrylic paint, red and white.

Distressink Frayed burlap, Victorian velvet.

Archival Coffee.

Versamark

Clear embossing powder.

Hearts die.

I started with the hearts because this one has different dry faces.

Paint the hearts red and set them aside to dry.

For the background, I did something a little different.

This photo is of a box lid.

I use it to spray backgrounds with spray bottles.

So, there's a lot of glitter, paint, and ink on it.

I sprayed some water on it and placed the paper on top.

This way, the colors and glitter soaked into the paper.

I really liked the result.

While it's drying, we'll continue with the hearts.

The hearts are now completely dry.

Using white acrylic paint and a sponge dabber,

 I apply the white paint to the Crackle background stamp.

And stamp it on the hearts.

Let the white paint dry thoroughly.

Because I thought the red was too red and the white was too white,

I used a sponge dipped douber and Distressink

 Frayed Burlap to give the hearts a slightly more aged look.

Stamp the text and Spike and Lucy at the bottom of the background.

Please note that there should be room for the hearts.

Let it dry, so we continue with the hearts.

I gave the hearts a beautiful glossy finish with two coats of clear embossing powder.

I think the shiny hearts look beautiful.

Give the edges of the card a little bit brown ink.

Glue the hearts in place.

And mat the card.

I think it has a lovely vintage look.

Now it's your turn: have you made something with love or hearts?

Then join the challenge and have a chance to win new stamps.

At the bottom, you'll find an alternative with the same stamp.

Flat mini slimline shaker

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Good afternoon, Cathy here with a flat mini slimline shaker card for you today.

Stamp Used:

cat wavy face

I first started with the background; I took some pattern paper and cut it to a mini slimline size. I then added the plastic and some valentine shaker bits and made a shaker. 

Next, I layered it on black cardstock and then put it on a pink card base. 

I then stamped cat wavy face and cut out. I only colored in the heart

I hope you join the hearts and love challenge.
