31 Days of Halloween, Day 18. Cute little witch.

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 absolutely love making Halloween creations!

And I’m so lucky to be able to work with one of the new LCD stamps.

This stamp is called "Cartoon Witch," 

and there are four new stamps released in this same style.

The stamps I’ve used are:

LCD Cartoon Witch,

Grunge Tree,

CV Witches Go Riding.

Furthermore, I have used.

Versafine onyx black.

Distress oxide,

Villainous potion,

Twisted citron,

Spiced marmalade,

Mowed lawn,

Crackling campfire. 

White gellpen

Glossy accents

Color pencil or markers, what you prefer.

Halloween dies.

Black and orange paper.

How to make the tag.

I started by applying the oxides to a sheet and then running the paper through them.

Create some lovely patches of color using all the different shades.

Begin with light colors and then build up to the darker ones.

While the oxide ink dries, we die-cut the pumpkins from black paper.

Using orange paper, we glue small pieces behind the pumpkins to create the faces.

Using a sponge, 

apply Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Villainous potion to a piece of white paper.

Die cut out the word "Halloween."

Look roughly where you want to place the little witch and stamp her in black on the tag.

Stamp the little witch in black onto a piece of white paper and color her in.

Cut her out.

I used my stamptool to stamp the branches of the grunge tree in black.

I’m going over the branches with the white gel pen.

First, glue the pumpkins onto the tag, followed by the word "Halloween," 

and then the little witch.

Stamp the "Carmens Veranda" text in the space between the branches and the witch.

Enhance the text using a white gel pen.

Also, add some accents to the little witch and the pumpkins.

Sponge the edge of the tag with Villainous potion.

Mount the tag onto a black backing.

Only when you are completely finished,

 should you add the glossy accent to her little eyes. 

Let it dry overnight.

And just like that, the tag is done!

Why not join in on our challenge—you really should!

You might just be the next winner to receive some new stamps of your own choosing.

Well, that’s it for now—see you in the next post!

GO TO THE CHALLENGE!!!

Day 17 of the 31 days of Halloween

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!

Welcome to day 17 of the 31 days of Halloween. Cathy here with a card for you.

Stamps Used:

cartoon man

spiderweb background

crow border

drips

I started out by stamping the bottom of the card with the crow border in black ink and the top with the drips in red oxide ink

I had some left over spiderweb stamped paper, so I tore it and inked the edges with grey ink. 

I then stamped the cartoon man (to me it looks like Poe). I made it into a tag.

 I hope you will join the Halloween fun.

Hi stamping friends, Aimee here. It's just two more weeks until Halloween! Now would be a great time to send a card to that friend who really, REALLY loves the holiday:

I used Lost Coast Design's Dancing Skeletons stamp and part of the Carmen's Veranda Witches Go Riding sentiment. This card is quick to make, so it would work well as a party invitation:
