#135 Anything go's gnomes, gnome tag.

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 there, Riet here 
We have another fun challenge at Lost Coast designs.
A whole month its all about gnomes.
If you dont have a LCD gnome, dont worry, 
it is allowed to use other brands.
I stamped a tag this time.
Pretty easy and quick to make.
So here is the step by step explanation.

What I used:
Carmens Veranda sentiment.
Click on the stamps to take you to de website.


Distress Oxide and distressink,
Pink flamingo,
Peacock feathers,
Diamond stencil,
Color markers,
Versafine onyx black,
Small ruler or a plastic card.
White posca pen.

Take a piece of paper or a tag.
Spread some distress oxide in both colors evenly over the stencil. 
Spray water over it.
Press the stencil onto the paper as if you were stamping.
Dry it with the heat tool.
Now take the stamps and the distressink.
Stamp like the example or as you see fit.
Take the ruler and the Versafine.
Swipe the pad with the ruler to apply the black ink to the edges. 
Splash some black ink or paint over the tag.
Stamp with Versafine the gnome.
Color the gnome and cut her out.
Gleu her to the tag.
Well you won't believe it, but even though I use a stamping aid,
My text doesn't often have a nice straight line, LOL.
You'll probably be better off than me, 
so stamp the sentiment with versafine.
This text is from Carmens Veranda,
on the CV site you will find a whole page with the most beautiful and funniest text stamps.
Stick a piece of black cardstock to the back and you are done.
Hope you have fun in creating your gnome card, tag or anything you want to make.
And please share your art with us and join the challenge.
There are rubber stamps to win so come and participate.
