Something Seasonal Challege 215 - A Remember Day of the Dead Card

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 Day of the Dead "Remember" card created for November's Something Seasonal Challenge with the Day of the Dead Angel Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs. You should know that this fabulous stamp comes in two different sizes. I used the larger one for this card.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Day of the Dead Angel Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs onto Copic-friendly cardstock.

Fussy-cut the Angel but trim off her halo, the design around it and the tassel fringe at the bottom of her dress. 

Use Copic markers to color the fussy-cut image, then edge the fussy-cut image with a black pen. Retrospectively, I wish I had colored her bouquet in shades of red. Alas.

Trim a piece of patterned paper to 4.75" x 6.75". Pounce an anti-static pouch onto the patterned paper panel. Cut a Post-It Note in roughly the shape of the Angel's head and place it over that part of the stamp. Place another Post-It Note over the bottom of her dress. Use VersaMark or other embossing Ink to ink her halo, the design around it, and the tassel fringe. Pour gold detail embossing powder onto the wet ink, dump the excess powder back into its container, and heat set the embossing powder.

Use a Gold Posca Paint Pen to fill in her halo. Use an orange glitter marker to fill in the triangular designs around her halo. 

Use a Gold Posca Paint Pen to add a thin gold border around the edges of the patterned paper background.

Allow the paints to dry, then adhere the fussy-cut colored Day of the Dead Angel in place.

Back a piece of gold metallic cardstock with 2" wide double-sided tape. Use a "remember" sentiment die to cut it. Adhere the sentiment die-cut to the patterned paper as shown.

Adhere the patterned paper panel to a black textured 5" x 7" card.

I hope you get the chance to join us in this month's November's Something Seasonal Challenge for the chance to win Lo$t Coa$t Ca$h and a brand new badge for your blog.

31 Days of Halloween Day 30

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 and salutations! Kathi here to share a card created for Day 30 of the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge!

Here's my card created with the Day of the Dead Angel Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs.

The Day of the Dead Angel Rubber Stamp comes in two sizes. I've used the larger of the two for my card. The Angel was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, fussy-cut, colored with Copic markers, then edged with a black multi-liner.  I should note that I Intentionally cut off her halo and the fringe at the bottom of her skirt when fussy-cutting the Angel. 

A white gel pen was used to add highlights to the pupils of her eyes. A black glitter marker was used to add sparkly details to the fine black lines on her wings, skirt, and the buttons of her bodice. The completed Day of the Dead Angel was set aside while I created a suitable background for her.

A panel of Mixed Media cardstock was sprayed with water. Black and Grey Brusho Powders were sprinkled over the wet paper and allowed the powders to activate The background panel was misted with more water to further spread the Brusho powders. A paper towel roll was rolled over the the panel to sop up the excess water. The panel was heat set.

The Remember This Story 6x6 Stencil was placed over the ink-stained background, Nocturne VersaFine Ink was brushed over the stencil onto the background panel, then heat set. 

Low-tack tape was placed over most of the rays of the Super Hero Rays 6x6 Stencil, the stencil was positioned near the top of the background panel, and Golden Glitz Delicata Ink was sponged over the stencils onto the background panel. 

The image panel was trimmed to 5" x 5".  Black and white floral washi tape was adhered to the bottom of the panel then the Delicata and VersaFine Clair Inks were used to edge it.

A piece of white cardstock was trimmed to 5.25" square, Golden Glitz Delicata Ink was sponged around the panel's outer .25" perimeter, then heat set. This panel was used to mat the background panel. 

 The Day of the Dead Angel was adhered to the background panel so that her head would be within the gold stenciled rays and the bottom of her skirt would be on the washi tape.

The card front was adhered to a black 5.5" square card.

I sure hope that you've played along with our 31 Days of Halloween Challenge! 

Thanks for visiting today. Have a safe and fun Halloween. Enjoy your Day of the Dead Celebrations!
