Challenge #163 Black & White - Let's Celebrate!

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 Friends...Roni here with another fun card for the Black and White challenge.

To create this card I used the Circus Dogs set of stamps.  I started by stamping out 3 of the balls on the "sticky" area of a post-it note. This is an easy way to create a reusable mask.  I trimmed each of the 3 masks.  

Choose your background paper and trim it to the approximate finished size. Choose a starting point and stamp the first ball, cover it with a mask and start stamping around this initial image in a spiral design adding and moving the masks as you go.  You can see I started near the center behind the "C" in celebrate. 

After I was finished with the background I stamped the dogs and an additional ball all of which were trimmed and set aside for the moment.

Next I assembled the card by mounting the background on a black card, I then tore a vellum panel and mounted it over the background. I temporarily placed the dogs and ball in place and stamped the sentiment Let's Celebrate from the Party Words stamp set.  After it had dried I added the dogs and ball to the card using double stick foam tape to pop them off the background.

I hope you are inspired to join in on the fun...

Challenge #163 Black & White

#162 Challenge, Black and white framed Elk skull.

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, Riet here, 

 for the "Black and White" challenge.

  I made a real clean and simple card and framed it .

The stamp of the Elk skull is so beautiful that you can really use it alone.

This stamp comes in 3 sizes and I used the largest.

This is 5 x 6 inches and can therefore easily be framed.

I printed the stamp with Heroarts Unicorn.

There is no other ink that stamps so beautifully and clearly on black paper as this one.

Give it plenty of time to dry or dry with the heat tool.

Once dry I colored here and there with the white posca marker.

And really, that's more than enough.

The stamp is beautiful on its own.

You can of course send it as a card.

But you can also frame it like I did.

I like both.

Come and join the challenge, you still have a few days until the end of the month.

Participate and have a chance to win new stamps.

Black and White: Chess King

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!

Hope you are all enjoying this current challenge - Black and White!  It's a real "challenge" to make something with no other colors!  But I had fun piecing together some different background stamps for this card.  I used the following:

Chess King stamp from Lost Coast Designs and the following background stamps, also from

Lost Coast:

Idinkera

White Waves

Large Chicken Wire

Cheesecloth

And also the Grunge Diamonds background stamp from Carmen's Veranda.

For each of the 5 background stamps, I stamped them with black ink onto white card stock and cut them into 1 1/2 squares.  I then assembled them in rows of three and pasted them to a piece of card stock.  I stitched around the edges with black thread. 

The chess king was stamped with black ink onto white card stock and fussy cut out.  I then pasted that to some black card stock and fussy cut around the original image to give it a nice black outline.

It was then affixed to the center of my background panel with some foam tape, and I added some black rhinestones to his crown.

We can't wait to see your black and white projects so be sure to share them here on the Portal!

Hello all, Cathy here with a card for you.

Stamps Used:

Victoriana

Pieces of Calligraphy

I started off with some white cardstock and some black ink. I stamped the one of the stamps from the Victoriana across the bottom of the paper and that left a open area on the top so a stamped a stamp from Pieces of Calligraphy on the top. I rounded the edges and added to a black card base. 

I hope you can join the challenge here.

Black And White Christmas Elves

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 a bit more inspiration for the Black and White Challenge.  I often stamp images and leave them uncoloured and when your stamps have as much detail as the ones offered by Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda they always look really good just as they are.   I decided to try a Christmas card and recruited Carmen's Veranda Elf with Star and Elf for the starring roles.

 I kept this a one layer card by using masks on the elves.  I stamped Elf with Star and Elf, masked them and stamped the edge of Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension for the floor and the vertical Merry Christmas in black.  With the masks still in place I stamped randomly with one of the Small Snowflakes and grey archival ink.  Unmask and magic!!!  I went round the edge with a black promarker to give a nice framed finish.

Join the fun with your black and white, or white and black stamped projects for a chance
to win Lost Coast dollars.
