#207 Make it funny. Peep show!!!!

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!

Hi there, Riet here.

 

Look at these mischievous gnomes.

They want to sneak a peek but don't quite dare.

Hahahaha, I find this so funny.

The things I used for this card:

LCD Lingerie,

Mini gnomes set 5

CV Keyhole

Stencil with letters.

Any stencil you like.

Derwent Inktense storm dust 2107.

Distress Oxide,

Hickory smoke.

Distress ink.

Saltwater taffy

Barn door.

Coloring pencils or markers.

Black fineliner.

Ruler.

I started making stripes with the Saltwater taffy.

Repeat with barn door and a little bit of hickory smoke.

Spray some water so that the colors blend a little.

Dry with heattool.

Using the gray Inktense pencil, draw the planks and nail heads.

Take a piece of paper and stamp the keyhole.

Mask the outside and stamp the lingerie lady.

Stamp the gnomes and color all.

Glue on the card.

With the Hickory smoke oxide and a stencil embellish the card.

Use the black fineliner to finish the card.

Whell that was fun to do.

Now its up to you, the team would love to have a laugh with your card,

 tag, or what ever you make.

Join the challenge, you dont need to use LCD or CV stamps.

As long as there is stamping on it you can join.

A Meaningful Lie Detector

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 seriously funny inspiration for the Make It Funny Challenge.

I used Lost Coast Designs Leaves Background with prickly pear distress ink.  The jury is out on whether the stamp or the ink pad is slightly contaminated with lingering autumn shades LOL.  Then I stamped Lost Coast Designs Face With Feathers and the Carmen's Veranda sentiment with black archival ink.  I tried colouring directly onto the panel with my gel pens, but it wasn't working, so I stamped the face on white card, coloured, fussy cut the bits and glued them in place.

Carmen's Veranda have so many funny, profound and meaningful sentiments do hop over and check them out.  New ones added regularly to the top of the page.

You have all month to share your funny stamped anythings. Please read the updated rules before entering. Real rubber or clear stamping and theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast $$$$$'s.   We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.
