Winged things challenge. The raven.

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!

 

What is it about ravens?

They've fascinated humanity for centuries.

There's something magical and yet frightening about them.

LCD has some beautiful stamps featuring ravens.

Now, how the card/AJ was made.

What I used:

LCD stamps,

M.Raven 2

Grunge tree

Crows border

Door and window set

Pieces of calligraphy.

Black waterresistent inkpad (Versafine)

Distress oxide,

Uncharted mariner,

Chipped sapphire,

Villainous potion,

Musterd seed.

Black soot.

White gelpen

Pink and tuqoise watercolor paint.

Brayer

Wrap foil

Masking tape

Angie's Happy Hobby stencil of a raven.

Since I have absolutely no drawing talent, 

I'm thrilled with the stencils from Angie's Happy Hobby.

I used the stencil to create the large raven.

Tape the stencil with the ravens to your paper.

I started with a circle mask for the moon.

I sponged around the mask with Villainous potion.

I sponged Uncharted Mariner around that, and then Chipped Sapphire around that.

I sponged the base where the raven stands with Black Soot.

Remove the moon mask and sponge the moon with Mustard Seed.

Stamp the raven, the tree and the crow on the bird.

Using the white gel pen, we make white lines on the tree and the birds.

Set your work aside and let it dry completely.

Now we'll move on to the background.

We'll create the background using watercolor paint and plastic wrap.

Let dry.

With the brayer we apply some more Uncharted Mariner and Villainous potion.

Make prints with the window stamp.

And stamp with Versafine the stamp from Pieces of calligraphy.

Cut out the ravens and glue them onto the card.

Matt the card with black, and it's ready.

The challenge runs until the end of the month, 

so join in for a chance to win new stamps.

Flying girl card

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 morning, Cathy here with a grungy card for you today.

Stamps Used:

Steampunk fly girl

ATC Italian postmark

Travel stuff set

I started out by making the background with walnut stain distress ink. I then tore the paper and edged it with scorched timber distress oxide.

I stamped Steampunk fly girl with black ink. I then stamped ATC Italian postmark around it.

I then added to a dark brown card base.

I then made this little cluster I made a circle and I stamped the circle from Travel stuff set in red ink to make it pop. and I used a punch and made a tab and added a label and some string.

Don't forget you still have time to join the challenge.

Believe in Fairies? Card

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! You've got Kathi here with another card created for the January Things with Wings Challenge 205 with the Winged Girl Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs.

Here it is!

Stamp the Winged Girl Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs onto white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Use Copic markers to color the image with colors chosen to match the spring-inspired patterned paper. 

Place an arch die facedown on the image panel, secure with low-tack tape, and run the sandwich through a die-cut machine. 

Place a piece of scrap paper over the die and image panel and flip the combination to the reverse. Use low-tack tape to secure the die-cut to the image panel. Flip the combination back over and brush light yellow dye ink over the die onto the image panel to add a background. Remove the low-tack tape and set the image panel die-cut aside.

Cut a strip of patterned paper containing the "Believe in Fairies? They hope you do!" from a piece of patterned paper and edge with a green marker.

Adhere the sentiment patterned paper strip across a piece of floral patterned paper as shown. Trim the patterned paper to 4" x 5.25" to create the card front. 

Adhere the image panel arch die-cut atop the patterned paper sentiment strip as shown.

Adhere the card front to yellow A2 card.

You still have time to play along with the January Things with Wings Challenge 205 for a chance to win Lo$t Coa$t Ca$h!

Butterfly Reminder

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 all, Aimee here. I LOVE making gift tags. They may be smaller in size, but that doesn't mean they can't make a big impact! With ribbons, embossing, 3-D butterfly sticker wings, and photo corners--there's a lot of visual interest:

I used the Sunglasses Gnome and Brush Strokes stamps from Lost Coast Designs, and the Butterfly Reminder sentiment from Carmen's Veranda. Follow along to see how this tag was made:

Things with wings challenge, Winged skeleton.

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 there, Riet here.

What a fun challenge this month!

I immediately thought of this beautiful stamp from Carmens Veranda Stamps, 

Winged Skeleton.

This card is very simple to make.

I colored the stamp with pencils, which is something I really enjoy doing.

I also used layers of designer paper.

For that, I used June Bug by Basic Grey.

I Distressed the edges of the paper and inked it with Distressink Walnut Stain.

I Also added a voile bow and a copper flower with a green stone.

I glued a glitter stone heart onto the sternum.

I hope you'll join the challenge.

There are beautiful, high-quality rubber stamps to be won.

You can participate with any brand, as long as stamps have been used.

So come and join in!
