Over The Edge

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 Saturday! It's Sue here, with the second of my cards for our funny/cute challenge. 

I started by cutting my layers for the card so that I knew how much room I had to play with. Then I stamped my Cat Border across the top and embossed in black.

I just love this cat! My first kitten was white so this just reminds me of her (it also makes it very easy to colour lol)

These are my lovely stamps, I've used

Running Cats Border

I hope you join in with our fun (or cute) challenge. Please remember we are a stamping challenge so this must be the focus of your entry. Don't forget there are Lost Coast $'s to be won!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

Push Off!!

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 with my second piece for our fun 'Sentimentally Yours' challenge.

I used to have 3 cats that let me live in their house, so know full well that this sentiment is absolutely true - but only if the cat wanted to, no way is the little Prince/Princess pushing if they don't want to!

I started by stamping and clear embossing the Carmen's Veranda Compas Square 4 times. Then I dipped and dragged in Distress Oxides in various shades of blue. Blueprint Sketch is my new favourite colour. I could have made an oxide background first and then embossed in white, but I like how the embossing repels the ink if you do this bit first. (And I have a massive tub of clear embossing powder, but only tiny ones of white!)

The idea was to use the map panel in one piece, but decided that it would look nice on black so I chopped it up and layered onto a black background.

Yoga Cat has been stamped, coloured, and clear embossed.

These are my stamps. The sentiment is a great size, and really easy to chop up once stamped.

I hope you like it, and that you join in too with your 'Sentimental' pieces. Remember, there are Lost Coast dollars up for grabs.

Thanks very much for looking, take care, and enjoy what's left of your weekend x
