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 from Laurie and Happy Autumn - well almost! Love this time of year so I hope it is beautiful wherever you are.
Our challenge for the last half of September is Make It Funny. Create something fun with either a humorous saying or image and enter it here on the Portal for a chance to win some free stamps.
I made a card for this one using the Early Stitch 'n Bitch stamp from Lost Coast Designs and one of the funny clear sentiment stamps from Carmen's Veranda.
I had this piece of flowered tissue paper that had always reminded me of my Grandmother's parlor wallpaper. So I thought it would be a perfect background for my knitting ladies. I adhered it to a piece of cream colored card stock with Modge Podge then cut it into a square-ish shape and edged it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I layered that with some kraft card stock.
Next I stamped my ladies onto white paper with black ink and fussy cut them out. I added a bit of color to their hands, faces, and the knitting basket and yarn with Copic Sketch markers. I positioned my stamped image at the bottom center of my card and adhered it. Next I stamped my sentiment with black ink onto a cream rectangle, edged it with the same Distress Ink, and affixed it above my knitting ladies.
Perfect sentiment for this fun stamp!
