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 again from Laurie! It's already day 19 of the 31 day Halloween Blog Hop, so I hope you have been busy making some fun Halloween stamped goodies!
For this one, I decided to use a non-Halloween stamp and make it Halloween-y!
I used the American Gothic Party stamp, which is one of my favorite Lost Coast Design stamps. I stamped my image with black ink onto white card stock. I added some color to their faces and colored the farmer's vest orange, in the spirit of the season. I then cut out some of the background behind the figures so I could use my own background. I mounted my stamped image onto a blue/gray background I created with some Distress Oxide Inks. I tucked a shining full moon into the left corner and added a couple of bats flying around. Last I gave Mr. and Mrs. both witch's hats and parked a pumpkin in the lower left corner. I colored the frame with brown marker and used gold marker to outline the inside edge - trying to give it the look of a vintage picture frame. Then mounted this to white then black card stock. A fab Halloween card!!
