#200 Cats and Dogs, thats so much fun.

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.

This is my last card for the Cats and Dogs challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda Stamps.

The challenge runs until the end of the month, so if you're interested, you can still participate.

For this card, I used Carmen's Veranda Carmendog stamp.

And the border is Checkerboard Rustic from Lost Coast Designs.

The text is from a sheet called Party Words.

I was in the garden with the spin art machine for a background.

I absolutely love the spinart machine and had so much fun with it.

I got such great results with it.

Do you also have a spinart machine?

It's so much fun.

Hope to see you at the challenge! Here's the link.

THE CHALLENGE!

#181 Anything goes challenge.

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 stampers and crafters, Riet here.

The "Anything goes" challenge is still running until the end of the month.

Join us so you can win prizes.

Now about the card.

I used these stamps:

CV, Carmen dog,

CV, Kiss my ass,

LCD Crackle background,

LCD Hearts and curls border, 

Distress oxide:car

Barn door

Musterd seed

Spiced marmelade

Chipped sapphire,

Peacock feathers.

Any water resistend black inkpad.

White pasca or gellpen.

Color pencils, I used derwent colorsoft.

How the card is made:

I started by sponging the colors Barn door,

Musterd seed and

Spiced marmelade onto the card.

I made a stamp impression with the crackle background stamp that I sprayed some water on.

This is a simple technique but with a very nice result.

We now continue with the stamp of the Carmen dog.

We first make a mask from that.

Take a piece of white paper that is slightly larger than the dog.

Stamp the dog with waterproof ink.

Stick the mask on and then sponge the paper with Peacock feathers.

Let it dry.

 

Leave the mask on.

Stamp with chipped sapphire and the heart and curls border,

left and right along the dog.

Let everything dry thoroughly before removing the mask.

Color with pencils or markers the dog.

Make white dots in the curls with the posca or white gellpen.

Stamp the saying with peacock feathers.

Put white dots with the posca or gellpen.

Matt the card with turquoise and purple.

And glue the carmen dog on the top.

Well this was fun to do and a very cheerful card.

There is still more than a week to participate in the "Anything goes" challenge,

If you participate you have a chance to win stamps.

 You can even participate with stamps from other companies. 

Please read the rules first, as they have recently changed.

Have a great day.

 

#145, Its a tropical party.

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.

Today its my turn to post with a tropical theme.

I made a card with the pineapple and the Carmen dog from Carmens Veranda. 

The background is made with the crackle background stamp from LCD,

 and the text is a sheet of party words from Lost Coast Designs.

I colored it with Van Gogh watercolors. 

And stamped with stazon jet black.

I used Distressink Iced Spruce for the background.

I started stamping the dog.

I masked it, then stamped it with the pineapple.

I colored the pineapple and dog with watercolor paint. 

But you can use anything you want, pencils or markers wil be fine to.

When that was dry I masked the dog and pineapple again.

And with the distressink and the crackle background i stamped the background.

I used a small piece of the stamp for this and filled the background.

I shaded with a bit of black watercolor,

and i glued some little juwells on her ears and dress.

On a small piece of paper I stamped the text with stazon jet black.

 I marked the text with pink paint.

I also glued 2 small gems on it.

I increased the text with some 3d tape.

Glue the card with some pink and black cardstock and you're done.
