31 Days of Halloween Day 8 - Eyes Like Dark Pools of Dark

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!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!!!   Gail here again for Day 8 of our 31 Days of Halloween extravaganza.

Today was a happy mail day when some of the brand new stamps from Lost Coast Designs dropped into the mail box.  Have you spotted them??   They are gorgeous and I quickly inked up Cartoon Man and made him spooky!!!

Here he is, out in the woods.  I used Lost Coast Designs Tall Trees Background stamped on a white panel.  Then I stamped ATC Perspective on brown card with grey ink and fussy cut it.  I used a circle of stamp cushion to stamp the yellow sun/moon using archival ink.  I stamped Cartoon Man and the head of the large Dancing Skeleton on white card and fussy cut them.  I coloured the man with distress markers and used a black marker to colour in his eyes and a tiny dot of white gel pen.  

Submit your stamped anythings with a Halloween theme to the linky party by 23.59 PST on the 31st and don't forget to follow us so you don't miss anything!  The team will be posting more inspiration throughout the month so check back and join the fun.

Hello Portal Peeps!!!   It's Day 7 of our 31 Days of Halloween celebration and today I, me, Gail, shall entertain you with acrobatic cats.

31 Days of Halloween Day 3: Day of the Dead

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!

Boo! Aimee here. Spooky Season has FINALLY arrived. As an American, this is a holiday our communities really get excited about. Kids. Candy. Costumes. What's not to love!? And with a large Hispanic population now living here, Day of the Dead celebrations are becoming more and more popular.

I used the Lost Coast Designs DOD Baile and 4 Flowers A stamps in two sizes to create this card. I colored inside the flowers with gel pens, which look great on black paper.

We're celebrating 31 days of Halloween on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. We'd love to have you join in on this month's fun!
