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!
Hello Portal peeps. Gail here today with a little botanic fun. Our current challenge is Let's Go Vegetarian, which basically means any stamped make featuring trees, flowers, fruit, vegetables, seaweed, any sort of plantlife. I used Lost Coast Designs very pretty Fruit Pods Background and the very lovely Lillith stamp.
Love all the different lillies in this beautiful stamp.
I started by stamping the Fruit Pods Background on some green mottled designer card. Then I folded and trimmed it to get my base card.
I stamped Lillith on white card with black archival and coloured with Promarkers and gel pens. Images like this used to intimidate me, but I find if you pick one item to colour and then another one, soon the whole image is finished. If you are unsure about an area leave it and come back to it later when more of the image is coloured and it's easier to see what is left to do.
I cut round the image, leaving a wide border and then used a green and black Promarker to add two borders making 'faux layers'. Keeps it flat and lighter for postage.
Thanks for visiting.
Get out your flowers, trees, fruits, vegetables etc and join the fun for a chance to win!
