Angel Kid

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 - Darlene here with another make for the Christmas in July Challenge !

Using one of the new Comic Kid stamps this little Angel was perfect.

Because she was looking a bit 'scrappy' I used christmas paper scrap layers for the background.

Inked up the edges in some red

She has lotsa sparkle ehehhehee.

Layered three circles, distressed the edges

Finished off with some ribbon. 

Don't forget to upload your make in our challenge!

maybe win some new stamps !

Bad Beanie

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 little inspiration for the the Are You Kidding Me!! challenge.   Lost Coast Designs has a new set called Comic Kids and I've used Beanie and a slightly naughty sentiment from Carmen's Veranda.

Beanie!!!   What a sassy little fellow he is!  I stamped the background with Lost Coast Designs Cat Quotes stamp.  Beanie was stamped, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.

 

Hope you get time to join this fun challenge.  Share you stamped anythings featuring kids, funny kids for extra points and funny if you really can't find any kids to stamp.  And don't forget to check out all the awesome inspiration from the team and leave them a little love.

Embracing my Inner Child

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 fun kids for the Are You Kidding Me!! challenge.

There is a new set called Comic Kids that Linda has been selling at shows, so I know some of you have already got these fun kids.   I've used two of them on my graffiti style card today

I've used Hero Arts Neon Ombre inks on this card for a bright effect.  I stamped the Carmen's Veranda sentiment with black archival and then stamped the two Comic Kids with the neon inks.  I cut one pair of hands off of Lost Coast Designs Handprints Border and randomly stamped it in various neon inks.  To finish I inked the edge with the neon ink and mounted on a green base card.

This is such a fun challenge.  Shared you stamped anythings featuring kids, funny kids for extra points and funny if you really can't find any kids to stamp.  And don't forget to check out all the awesome inspiration from the team and leave them a little love.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
