Celebrate It! Happy Birthday!

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!

First day of the month means a brand new challenge here on the Portal.  Welcome from Laurie to our July challenge running through the first half of the month:  Celebrate It!  So pick a special occasion, holiday, achievement - whatever you want to celebrate and post your makes here for a chance to win some free stamps from Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda.

I have made a birthday card for this one featuring the Party Baby Stamp Set from Lost Coast Designs and the Queen of Everything clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda.

After digging into my box of gel prints, I found this one that works so well with the baby and her party dress.  I layered that with my white card base.  I then stamped the baby onto white card stock with black ink and fussy cut her out.  I restamped her onto pink printed paper and cut out just the dress and party hat, superimposing them onto the original stamped images.  I added some color to her face and hands with Copic Sketch markers.  The wings were also stamped with black ink onto white paper and fussy cut, then colored with a gold fine tipped marker.  I fastened the wings to my baby and put the little party hat atop her head.  She was then glued to the lower right of the card front.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink onto a white square that was edged in black, then attached to the upper left corner.  And that's a wrap!

Can't wait to see what fun projects you create in celebration of all the great things life has to offer!  Thanks for joining us here on the Portal.
