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 welcome to our latest challenge: Man Cave. This one runs until the end of September, so you still have lots of time to enter. Just one rule: your entry must include some rubber-stamping.
For this card I used the Waltzing Cowboys stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the All Together clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda. Be sure to check out the newest clear stamps at Carmen's Veranda - they will for sure put a smile on your face!
This was so simple. I stamped my cowboys using black ink onto a piece of coffee dyed paper. I tore around the edges and used some Vintage Photo Distress Ink to age the edges. My background is a piece of map of Yellowstone Park, and I cut that to fit my central image and inked the edges of this as well.
I used my sewing machine and black thread to stitch around the edges of my stamped panel, stitching it in place to the center of the card front. Next I stamped my sentiment onto a scrap of coffee stained paper and stitched it with black thread as well. I positioned it at the bottom of the card and fastened it with foam tape.
That's it! I love the vintage-y look that coffee stained paper gives to any project, and it's so easy to do. If you haven't tried it yet, you will love the results!
So show us what fun projects you can make for the "Man Cave" challenge for a chance to win some free stamps!
