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!
This card was so fun to make as part of Lost Coast Designs' September's Challenge theme. This month it's all about animals! I'm using the new Pokey Pigeon stamp--don't you just love his (her?) expression!?
For this card I used the new bird and Brush Strokes stamps. The sentiment was inspired by a bird pun I found and typed out on my computer using the Modern Love font.
Stamp out the bird with black pigment ink. Use a Brush Strokes stamp to create a pattern over the inked background with contrasting ink or a shine spray. Be sure to test the pattern on a piece of scratch paper so you don't get too heavy of an imprint.
I used alcohol markers first, followed by Prismacolor pencils to get the coloring effect I liked best. I used a blending brush to get a little extra yellow highlight around the bird.
And there you have it! This bird's expression lends itself to lots of fun sentiments. For a birthday: "You're How Old?!" For a retirement: "Now what are you gonna do?" For anything belated: "I just realized I forgot your ______." Whatever the occasion Pokey Pigeon should surely bring a smile.
Now it's your chance to enter this month's Animal Challenge! Post your entry to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity by the end of the month for your chance to win a prize.
