#206 Love and Hearts 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!

 

I love this challenge.

It is Valentine's month, after all.

For this card, I chose my love for pets.

And here's the tutorial.

Materials I used.

LCD Crackle background,

LCD Spike and Lucy,

CV Doghair.

Craft Emotions stencil

Acrylic paint, red and white.

Distressink Frayed burlap, Victorian velvet.

Archival Coffee.

Versamark

Clear embossing powder.

Hearts die.

I started with the hearts because this one has different dry faces.

Paint the hearts red and set them aside to dry.

For the background, I did something a little different.

This photo is of a box lid.

I use it to spray backgrounds with spray bottles.

So, there's a lot of glitter, paint, and ink on it.

I sprayed some water on it and placed the paper on top.

This way, the colors and glitter soaked into the paper.

I really liked the result.

While it's drying, we'll continue with the hearts.

The hearts are now completely dry.

Using white acrylic paint and a sponge dabber,

 I apply the white paint to the Crackle background stamp.

And stamp it on the hearts.

Let the white paint dry thoroughly.

Because I thought the red was too red and the white was too white,

I used a sponge dipped douber and Distressink

 Frayed Burlap to give the hearts a slightly more aged look.

Stamp the text and Spike and Lucy at the bottom of the background.

Please note that there should be room for the hearts.

Let it dry, so we continue with the hearts.

I gave the hearts a beautiful glossy finish with two coats of clear embossing powder.

I think the shiny hearts look beautiful.

Give the edges of the card a little bit brown ink.

Glue the hearts in place.

And mat the card.

I think it has a lovely vintage look.

Now it's your turn: have you made something with love or hearts?

Then join the challenge and have a chance to win new stamps.

At the bottom, you'll find an alternative with the same stamp.

 Spike and Lucy

Versafine onyx black

Or any other water resistend ink.

Distressink

Wild honey

Evergreen bough

Chipped sapphire

Saltwater taffy

Black Posca

White Posca

Neocolor II

Masking tape.

How I made the card

Use the distress ink and water to create some puddles of ink on your craft sheet.

Run your paper through there.

Dry it with the heat tool.

I imaginatively divided the card into two parts.

I started stamping Spike and Lucy on the right.

You mask them off.

Then with the Chipped saphire and the little dots stamped around it a bit.

And around them the larger circles.

Above that the larger dots stamped with Saltwater taffy.

I also stamped the butterfly in black.

On the left side I first stamped 2x an ornament of pieces of architecture with Evergreen bough.

On top of that with the letters of the Pieces of calligraphy in black.

On the extreme left edge I stamped the grunge border of the brushstrokes sheet with black.

With neocolorII colored yellow in the circles and with green around it.

Made a shadow around Spike and Lucy with a dark blue.

I stamped the text "Dogs hair" from Carmens Veranda on white paper.

I then cut the text into pieces and divided it over the left side of the card.

With the black Posca marker I made edges around it.

With the white posca I gave the butterfly some accents.

Now with a black neocolorII on the corners to give some accents.

Just matting with white and black and you're done.

Now its your turn, come and join our challenge.

And have a chance to win some new stamps.

Good luck to you.
