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! Laurie here again with another winged creation for the current "On Wings She Flies" challenge. This is another card made with the wonderful Lost Coast Calligraphy Doll stamp.
I started by stamping my image with black ink onto a piece of vintage ledger paper that I dyed using coffee. If you have not tried using coffee to dye paper, it's easy and gives you a wonderful vintage effect. The piece I used here was off white to begin with, so you can see the interesting effect the coffee has. You can use old book pages, ledger paper, maps, sheet music, etc. - whatever you have on hand. There are lots of You Tube videos that will show you how to do this simple technique. All you need is paper and some coffee!
I then restamped the wings using StazOn black ink onto a piece of gold metallic paper and cut them out. I attached them atop the original stamped image. I tore around the edges of my image then layered it with black paper. The final step was to punch holes along the top and bottom of the left side and thread some gold twine and a little brass key around the edge.
So come how us what wonderful creations you can make with wings for a chance to win some free stamps!
