31 Days Of Halloween Day 24 - Do You Know What It Is Yet?

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 and a very happy Sunday. It's Sue here, and it's day 24 of our 31 Days of Halloween challenge. I can finally show you what I've been making. But first, here are my last 2 panels.

It's just not Halloween without Edgar is it?

And here's his favourite bird, the raven. 

This is what I've used today

Lost Coast

Agregate 

Goth Raven    and

Carmen's Veranda

Edgar Allan Poe

Skulls and Bones Background

Nevermore

And this is what I've been making.

It's a Flip Flap book! This is the inside.

And this is the reverse. Of course some pieces have to be upside down because of the flips.

With the top and bottom folded in.

With the sides folded in.

And with my Shakey shaker on the front when it's all folded in.

This has been such fun to make, and I hope you like it. Please keep popping across here for more inspiration every day this month.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

Picture This Chippie Page

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 and happy Sunday, it's Sue here with my project for the 'Picture This challenge'. I just love the colours of our inspiration photograph, and this is what I've made.

 I started by gathering my paints together in the challenge colours.

 Then I made a 'pealed paint' background using the paints and a chap stick.

I added some stamping with the Leonardo Accessories Set

And the Agregate background

I stamped the 3 Flying Flower Girls using my stamping platform so I could get a really good impression.

So now I have another double page in my chippy album completed.

You still have a week to enter our challenge, so I hope to see you over on the Portal. Have a happy day, and thanks very much for looking x

Day Of The Dead - Sue

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, it's Sue here with my Day of the Dead project.

I started by making quite a bright background with stencils and the Agregate background stamp. I liked it a lot but it was too strong for my Sugar Skull Woman, so I put a coat of gesso over the top to calm it down a little.

I stamped her and cut her out and added some doodles and stencilling to blend her in. Then I stamped the Rustic Checkerboard Border so it would match the opposite page in my chippie album. The sentiment is a Carmen's Veranda clear stamp called Broken Look Beautiful

I hope you like her, and that you join in with our Day of the Dead event. Just link up via the linky.
Have a great week, and thanks very much for looking x
