Hi everyone, Darlene here with my first make of the month with the Halloween theme!!!

Everything haunted and scary this month bbbwwwhhhahahaha

I used the Persian Skull stamp for this one.

So, I stamped the image on cardstock, masked the head and did some black paint flecks/splatters.

Then on a piece of cheesecloth I stamped the image again.

carefully laid it over the original image and glued down lightly.

Used some black ink around the edges.

layered the image onto black cardstock - distressed the edges. 

A few butterflies and flowers, with a touch of black sickles in the middles.

((The wording I printed out on the computer))

Now its your chance to win - enter the Halloween Challenge

Be sure to enter your spooky make into our challenge this month

31 Days of Halloween Day 2

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!

Cathy here with a witchy panel for you.

Stamp used:

Gnome witch on broom

I started off by stamping Gnome witch on broom and coloring her with copic markers. I then cut her out and added some glitter pens to it. 

I found this panel from a 12x12 paper pad that I have, and I thought it would go great with Gnome witch on broom. I glued her in place. 

Lastly, I die cut some ghosts from whit cardstock and added them to the bottom. I also cut out some clouds but they didn't look right as clouds, so I made them into smoke trail from her broom.

Come join the Halloween fun over at The Lost Coast Blog.

Hi there, Riet here.

 Its the start of the 31 Days of Halloween challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmen's Veranda stamps.

Love, Love , Love Halloween theme crafts.

And it's a Halloween challenge the whole month.

So here is my tag for Halloween.

I used:

Lost Coast Designs Grunge tree

Spiderwebs background

Checkerboard border

MRaven 2

Carmen's Veranda Witches go riding (only the last 2 lines)

Distress ink,

Old paper

Pumice stone

Iced spruce

Dusty concord

Versafine onyx black

White gellpen

Water resistent fineliner

Blue, grey and brown colorpencils

Small circkle punch

Perfect resist

Tag die

How to make the tag.

Take a small amount of perfect resist and a sponge. Dab your sponge in the resist liquid and apply it to the spider web stamp. Make a good print in one go. Let it dry very well.

Now sponge the distress ink Old paper,

Pumice stone, and

Iced spruce onto the card.

let it dry well.

Take a piece of white paper and stamp the Checkerboard border on it.

Sponge them purple with the distress ink dusty concord.

Die cut the tag and glue the checkerboard borders on it.

Stamp the raven with the black versafine.

If you didn't hit all the spots properly, you can touch it up with the fineliner.

Color the raven and the branch he is sitting on.

And stamp the words in black.

Because I thought the tag on the right side was a bit bare, 

I also stamped the grunge tree here.

Mat the tag with black cardboard.

With a punch I make a ring of black cardboard, glue it on and make a hole in it.

You can now put a cord or string in there.

Now its your turn.

Make something with a Halloween or day of the dead theme.

Don't forget to use some stamps.

Please read the rules, to avoid disappointment.

Good luck and till next time.

GO TO THE CHALLENGE.
