From the Heart

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!

Hi - Darlene here with one of my 'Love and Hearts' make for this months challenge

Actually - there are two makes here hehehhee

These were actually quick and easy to make.

So the first one - with the red hearts

Has a belly band around it with the saying attached.

This saying is from Carmen Veranda's clear stamps

Using a stamping trick - I only stamped about 1/2 of what the original stamps says !!

So easy to do with a bit of scotch tape to block out what you don't want.

this is what I blocked out LOL

'then remove the dog hair from your mouth as you walk to the car'

So now what I did was make a nice mushy card hehehehe

The next card is one large heart - using the same saying

then on the inside using the Party Words

So be sure to enter your make this month and maybe win some new stamps !!

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!

Greetings! It's Kathi here with a card created for February's Love and Hearts Challenge with the Little Angel Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda. 

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Little Angel Rubber Stamp by Carmen's Veranda onto white cardstock. 

Use Copic markers to color the Little Angel. Use a clear glitter gel pen to add glitter to her wings. Use a white gel pen to add catchlights to her eyes. Fussy-cut the Little Angel, edge her with a black pen, and set her aside. 

Place a cloud stencil towards the top of a piece of white cardstock to create a cloudy sky background for the Little Angel. Brush pink dye ink over the top of the stencil onto the background panel. Rotate the stencil, move it downwards on the white cardstock panel, and brush the same pink ink over the top of the stencil onto the background panel. Repeat this process until your pink cloudy sky is complete. 

Place a heart stencil over the cloudy sky background panel. Use a smaller brush to randomly apply pink ink through the stencil's heart apertures onto the background panel.

When done, trim the background panel to 4" x 5.25" and edge with the pink ink.

Select appropriate stickers and use a sponge dauber to apply pink ink to them.

Adhere the background panel to a white A2 card. Adhere the Little Angel as shown. Adhere the sentiments to finish the card.

I hope that you take the opportunity to play along with our Love and Hearts Challenge 206 for the chance to win Lo$t Coa$t Ca$h!

LOVE-ly Lady
