31 Days of Halloween Day 13 - Halloween Darling

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 on lucky day 13 of our 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  The team are posting awesome Halloween related makes every day this month and we hope you feel inspired to stamp and link up your makes.   Today I have made a card using Carmen's Veranda sentiment and Staircase with Lost Coast Designs Dark Girl Dolly, Fourth Dimension and Bat Boy.

I used a slimline card and a vertical design.  I started by stamping part of Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension on the bottom of the card in black ink and added some pink distress colour.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Staircase with grey ink and gave it a old paper distress ink colour and fussy cut.  Dark Girl Dolly was stamped on white card, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut.  The bats were left over from my day 11 make.  For the sentiment I used Carmen's Veranda Hot and Sexy sentiment, which is usually birthday orientated.  I stamped the top part of the sentiment, added the words 'for Halloween' and then stamped the bottom part of the sentiment.  I arranged all the elements on the card base and done!!

Link up your Halloween inspired projects.  Anything related to the season, spooky, fruity, fun, scary or cute.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project.  A small stamped sentiment in a sea of die cuts or digi images will not qualify to win the prize and you may be deleted or fed to the giant pumpkin!!!!  Bwahahhaaahaha.

31 Days of Halloween Day 12: Bosch creatures ATC's

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 everyone, Liesbeth here again with another creepy piece: two halloween ATC's for our 31 Days of Halloween challenge.

I used the Isle of aud creatures stamp, with some of the creatures of the medieval painter Jheronimus Bosch (1450-1516), I love the artist and the stamps! I think they are perfect for Halloween! 💀😀

Other stamps used: Spiderwebs Background and Pieces of Calligraphy.

I stamped them onto a alcohol inked glossy ATC card with different colours of StazOn ink, coloured with Distress Markers, made shadows with black ink and finished with white gel pen.

Have a nice day!

31 Days of Halloween Day 11 - Square Bats That Look Round

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 with day 11 of our 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  This month the team are posting awesome Halloween related makes every day and we want to invite you to join us. 

I made a forest scene using Lost Coast Designs Dracula, Tall Trees Background and Bat Boy

 

I made the background using the second alcohol ink background I made the other day.  I had already made one and was just stamping off the inks still on the felt pad, so this one is more subtle.  I used Midnight archival ink and stamped the Tall Trees and used Sunflower archival in a circle of felt for the moon.  

 

I stamped Dracula and Bat Boy on white card and coloured with distress markers.  I fussy cut dracula and the heads of the bat boys and added them to the card. 

Link up your Halloween inspired projects.  Anything related to the season, spooky, fruity, fun, scary or cute.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project.  A small stamped sentiment in a sea of die cuts or digi images will not qualify to win the prize and you may be deleted or fed to the giant pumpkin!!!!  Bwahahhaaahaha.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 10

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! You've got Kathi here to share a card created for Day 10 of the 31 Days of Halloween feature. I created this card with the Pokey Pidgeon Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs. Pokey Pidgeon is wearing his Raven Halloween costume for my card and is quoting some Edgar Allen Poe. 

Here's the card!

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp Pokey Pidgeon on the left side of a 7" x 5" piece of Bristol Paper, then stamp again onto a piece of repositionable sticker paper.

Color Pokey Pidgeon with Copic markers so that he looks more like a Raven than a pigeon. 

Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel.

Place a piece of repositionable Scotch Tape horizontally across the image panel right above Pokey Pidgeon's feet.

Place a slimline cloud stencil towards the top of the image panel. Brush or sponge Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the top of the stencil onto the image panel. Brush or sponge Villainous Potion Distress Ink over the stencil over the stencil onto the image panel.

Flip the stencil 180° and move it downwards. Brush or sponge Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the top of the stencil and the masked Pokey Pidgeon onto the image panel. Brush or sponge Villainous Potion Distress Ink over the stencil over the stencil and the masked Pokey Pidgeon onto the image panel.

Repeat the above steps another three times until the stormy and cloudy sky background fills the image panel. 

Brush Lost Shadow Distress Ink onto the white areas of the clouds to darken them a bit.

Mist the image panel with water and use a paper towel to blot up the bigger droplets.

Move the repositionable Scotch Tape so that it's sitting on the separation between the sky and the bottom area while covering Pokey Pidgeon's feet and legs.

Sponge or brush Pumice Stone Distress Ink over the tape and the masked image onto the bottom area of the image panel.

Place the "Nevermore" stencil to the right of and the masked Pokey Pidgeon and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets. Sponge Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the image panel.

Use low-tack tape to cover the word "Nevermore". Move the stencil slightly so that the splats and splotches are in an open area. Sponge Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the image panel. Repeat this process until you are happy with the amount of splotches and splats.

Remove the tape and the stencil from the image panel. Remove the mask and use Copic markers and/or a black fineliner pen to touch up Pokey Pidgeon if necessary.

Increase the size of and the masked Pokey Pidgeon's pupils with a N7 Copic marker. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to his pupils. Use a white colored pencil to add a highlight to Pokey Pidgeon's beak.

Use a black marker to deepen the black of the word "Nevermore". 

Trim the image panel to 6.75" x 4.75" and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair. Adhere the image panel to a 7" x 5" card.

I hope that you've been enjoying the 31 Days of Halloween showcase and are inspired to join our challenge and get the chance to win some Lo$t Coa$t Ca$h!

Thanks for visiting today!

31 Days of Halloween Day 9 - Near Halloween

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!

Hey there - Darlene here with another make for the 31 Days of Halloween

here at the Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity. 

Today I am sharing a card I made using the 'Tree Branches'

background stamp and

'Raven with Tree Branches' stamp

The tag I used the soap bubbles technique for the background

then I stamped the Raven in black onto a tag.  Sponged the edges with black soot ink.

Layered onto the background branches where I had also stamped the Raven

so I could layer the tag on top (popped it up a bit)

Also inked the edges

The saying if from Carmen Verandas Words and Phrases

'When Witches Go Riding'. where I only used a portion

of the saying.

Slid in the moon behind the tag - added a bit of ribbon.

Layered onto dark purple cardstock - stressed the edges.

 

 

Come join the monthly challenge !

you may win some new stamps !

31 days of Halloween Day 8

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!

Happy October and Happy Halloween all month long. Cathy here with a postcard for you.

Stamps Used:

Small skeleton 

Roses

I stared by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 4x6. I then stamped Roses in gray ink and then I stamped Small skeleton in black ink right in the middle.

I then took some distress ink and made a smooshed background. I tore the top of the postcard and edged the whole thing in a dark brown ink. Next, I added some Halloween ephemera around it. Layered it all on black cardstock.

I hope you will join the Halloween challenge.
