Day 1 of our Day of the Dead Contest!

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!

If you're looking for the Day 31 post for the 31 Days of Halloween blog hop then click HERE!

Even though today is sadly the end of our 31 Days of Halloween blog hop our celebrations continue through to Nov 15 with our Dia de los Muertes - Day of the Dead Contest!
 
Dia de los Muertes is a celebration of loved ones lost, a holiday to celebrate and honour their lives!  There's really nothing macabre about it as it is a joyful event filled with love and memories!  Day of the Dead is traditionally celebrated for 3 days, from Oct 31 through to Nov 2, so we will continue with our daily offerings until Nov 2.  Then visit us again on Nov 5, 8, 12 and 15 for tons of fabulous DOTD creations by my fellow LCDesigners!

Our DOTD Contest is now officially open and we invite you to enter all your DOTD themed projects in the linky below for the chance to win a $15 spending spree to LCD/CV!  The contest closes Nov 15 at midnight and the winner announced soon after!

To kick off our celebrations here's two fabulous projects by LCDesigners Granne and Nanette!
Enjoy!

Granne has used Lost Coast Designs Six Mini Skulls on her altered candlestick!

Nan has used Lost Coast Designs Day of the Dead Man and Women for her ATC and matching sleeve!

Day 31: Blog Hop Finale by Leigh S-B!

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!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

YAY, we did it, we survived our 1st Smeared Ink 31 Days of Halloween blog hop!
WOW, I can't believe Halloween is here already!  What a spooktacular October it has been!  I want to thank my fellow amazing LCDesigners for creating all the faBOOlous creations you've been enjoying every day!  They really did an amazing job and I'm so proud to have such a talented, fun loving and dedicated bunch of ladies to create with!

Thank you to all of YOU who visited us each day and to those who popped in when they could, we appreciate all your wonderful comments!   We hope you have enjoyed visiting us, have seen lots of Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda stamps you need to add to your collections and are now followers of our blog because the fun never ends here at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity ;0)

Even though today is sadly the end of our 31 Days of Halloween blog hop our celebrations continue through to Nov 15 with our Dia de los Muertes - Day of the Dead Contest!  We will continue with our daily offerings until Nov 2 and then we'll be back with more on Nov 5,  8, 12 and 15!  We invite you to enter all your fabulous Day of the Dead projects by Nov 15 for the chance to win a $15 spending spree to LCD/CV!  Hop on over to the DOTD Day 1 post HERE for some fabulous LCDesigners inspiration and then enter your Day of the Dead creations in the linky!

And now for our 31 Days of Halloween finale project!

Today's finale project is by me, LCDesigner Leigh...I'm back with an Apothecary altered bottle encrusted with stamped clay and altered dominoes featuring stamps from 
Carmen's Veranda - Skulls and Bones background
Lost Coast Designs - Skull Flourish

Belladonna Dropps anyone?  Take only one though coz more causes a mild case of death!

Here's a close look at each clay stamped panel made from Das Air Dry Clay and painted with black acrylic paint and then dry brushed with cream and white.  The slots for the dominoes were cut out while the clay was wet.  Each domino is simply stamped with black StazOn ink.  I added the Wiccan symbols for Earth, Water, Fire and Air to the forehead of each skull with an ultra fine black Sharpie marker.  I hand wrote the Apothecary bottle label as well.  Embellishments are minimal with a simple dangle made with silver cord, two black beads and two ivory skull beads.
