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!
So glad you are back with us on this first day of September and the first day of our new challenge: Bling It Up! Who doesn't love some bling, and when we say "Bling It Up", that gives you permission to use all the bling you want.
It's Laurie here with a little card made using the Steampunk Heart stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the Teri Sherman collection of stamps.
The background for this is a piece of a gel print I made using orange and red paints and a stencil. I bought some Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes recently and have been playing with them, and this is one of my results. I used the suggested tacky glue and brushed it through a stencil onto the surface of my gel print. After letting it dry (although it will still be tacky), and using my fingers, I rubbed some gilding flakes over the stenciled areas. Wherever there was tacky glue, the flakes stuck. I absolutely love the way these gilding flakes add so much to whatever I have used them on.
I stamped my heart onto some orange/red scrapbook paper and heat embossed it with some gold embossing powder. I fussy cut it out and got out my drawer of "bling", adding some lovely "jewels" to my heart and the four corners of the card front. I mounted it with foam tape and layered it to a white piece of card stock.
So get out you sparkly, bling-y goodies and show us how you can "Bling It Up". Be sure to feature some rubber stamping in your creations for a chance to win some free stamps!
