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 this second half of April with a tag for the "Celebrate It" challenge, currently going on here on the Portal. For this tag, I used the Mona Flying stamp and the party hat stamp from the Party Baby Set, all from Lost Coast Designs.
I made my background by stamping a gelli plate with alternating colors of blue and green Distress Oxide ink pads. I then pressed a page from a vintage book onto the plate and pulled a print. I added some extra with an alphabet stencil in one of the green inks I used. I cut this into a tag shape and edged it with blue ink then added some black splatters randomly.
Mona was stamped with black ink onto white paper and fussy cut out. I restamped her "dress" onto a piece of checked scrap book paper, cut it out, and glued it atop the original stamped image. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers and glued her to my tag front. The party hat was stamped with black ink onto white paper, cut out, and colored with a green marker. I glued that atop her head as shown. I added some blue enamel dots to the buttons on her dress and decorated the buttons and the butterfly wings with gold Nuvo Crystal Drops. Finally she was attached to my tag base and some green seam binding was tied through the top.
So many things to celebrate - what will you choose? Don't forget to feature some rubber stamping on your projects and post them here on the Portal for a chance to win some free stamps!
