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!
Greetings! It's Kathi here on Day Four of the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge to share slightly scary card with you. My card was created with the Clown with Balloon Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs and the Medium Keyhole Rubber Stamp from Carmen's Veranda.
The Medium Keyhole stamp was stamped twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. The sticker paper version was cut on the inner outline of the Keyhole and placed over its cardstock counterpart to mask the outside of the keyhole while keeping the center open.
A clouds stencil created by a friend was placed towards the top of the opening of the Keyhole. Stormy Sky and Dusty Concord Distress inks were sponged over the stencil onto the cardstock. The stencil was moved downward and shifted, then the same inks were sponged over the stencil. This process was repeated until the opening in the Keyhole was filled with a stormy cloudy sky.
The Time Tunnel Stencil was placed over the opening of the Keyhole and London Fog Memento Ink was sponged heavily in the center of the tunnel and lighter as the tunnel went outwards.
The repositionable sticker mask was removed. Copic markers were used to color the outside of the Keyhole to look like brass. When that was done, the keyhole was fussy-cut and edged with a dark marker. Red alphabet rub-ons were used to add a sentiment to the bottom of the opening of the Keyhole.
The Clown with Balloon stamp was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, fussy-cut, colored with Copic markers, fussy-cut, and edged with a black pen. I wanted more balloons, so the corner of the the Clown with Balloon stamp was inked with Memento ink, stamped several times, fussy-cut, and colored with Copic markers. A white gel pen was used to add highlights to all the balloons. The colored Clown and balloons were set aside.
Lightning Black Brilliance ink, a brassy looking ink, was used to ink a piece of mixed media cardstock to look like an escutcheon. The panel was trimmed, edged with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink, and heat set. Halloween Idea-ology Rub-ons were used to add sentiments to the upper left of the panel.
A 5" x 7" panel of light grey cardstock was embossed with a wood-grain embossing folder, adhered to a 5" x 7" light grey card, and edged with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink.
The Clown with Balloon and the extra balloons were adhered to the Keyhole as shown. The Keyhole was then adhered to the brass escutcheon and the wood paneled card.
I sure hope you play along with the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's 31 Days of Halloween Challenge!
