Elephant card

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!

Good morning, Cathy here with a fun elephant card for you today.

Stamps Used:

Misc. anthropomorphs

Cheesecloth background

I stamped the elephant on a Kraft tag and edged it with some brown ink. 

Next, I stamped the Cheesecloth background with the same brown ink on a blue card base. I edged the card base with the brown ink. 

I then added some ephemera around the card.

 

Handle With Care

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!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Gail here today with some inspiration for the Anything Goes challenge.   Share your stamped anythings with any theme for a chance to win.  We need at least 20 entries to award the prize, so get stamping and join the fun.

I've made a bottle tag using Lost Coast Designs Sleeping Gnome with Sign and Pondscum Background for added texture.  I cut the bottle tag using an Avery Elle die and blended various green distress inks.  Then I stamped the Pondscum Background using one of the darker greens.  I stamped the gnome on white card, coloured with markers and fussy cut.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you get some time to stamp and link up.  Hugz

Dance Like A Toddler

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!

Hello all, Aimee here! My two toddler granddaughters are learning the joy that comes from moving their bodies to music. Their faces just radiate joy, and they don't care AT ALL what they look like while they dance to the beat. I hope they stay fearless in doing what brings them happiness. 

These funny kid images are from the Cartoon Kids stamp set found at Lost Coast Designs. The Dance Like A Toddler sentiment is from Carmen's Veranda. It's a super simple card to make:

Hi Darlene here with some 'anything goes' for the month of December.

So thought I would step away from Christmas cards for something completely different.

Using the Mini fish Collage I did two different cards.

First Both cards are 5 1/2 square.

The first one I radomly stamped the card with random stamps.

inked the edges a bit in blue, layered the coloured cheesecloth on top.

The Image I coloured, added a bit of stickles then clear embossed the whole image.

Layered on top of the cheesecloth.  Added some green threads and some blings.

the next card, is a nice clean simple card

I stamped the image onto Vellum with staz on ink.

three layers of cardstock then wrapped the vellum around and secured on backside.

Layered onto card - added a couple of blings and saying from party words

So be sure to enter your 'anything goes' into the challenge !!
