Man will fly

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!

Goodmorning all, Cathy here with a card for you today.

Stamp Used:

Flying car 

I started with a stencil and some distress oxide ink. I randomly did that all over the card. I then stamped Flying car in the middle with black ink. 

I then took a ruler sticker and added to the card along with some die cut gears. Next, I added a sliver star I cut in half to one of the die cut gears. 

I added it to a black card base and the card is done.

Please come join the challenge here.

#182 For the men 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!

Hi stampers, Riet here.

Today a card "for the men" challenge.

I chose a steampunk card.

And this is what you need if you want to make this card.

LCD background stamp Gears 2.

LCD Flying car.

Misc words.

Distress ink,

Walnut stain,

Broken china,

Rusty hinge,

Weathered wood.

Stazon Timber brown,

Versa Magic Jumbo Java.

Versa mark.

WOW EP Egyptian turquoise.

Ranger EP Hamered=bronze colored

Corrugated cardboard.

Gears die, I used Spellbinders.

Brown and turquoise acrylic paint.

Coloring pencils or markers.

I used Derwent Colorsoft.

Foam tape.

How this card is made.

I started stamping the gears 2 stamp with versamark.

I sprinkled the Ranger hammered embossing powder on top.

Let it melt with the heat tool.

Color with a ink blending tool,

 and the Distress ink colors 

Broken china, Rusty hinge, Weathered wood the card.

Cut off the rest of the card,

 and then take a small edge of the embossing powder with it.

You stamp the text on this piece with the Stazon brown timber.

Now take a piece of corrugated cardboard.

Make sure it goes well around the card with the gears.

Paint the entire piece of corrugated cardboard with brown acrylic paint.

Dry with a heattool.

Repeat this with turquoise paint, but now only paint here and there.

The brown paint should remain clearly visible.

Now we take a piece of orange paper that is larger than the gears card,

 but smaller than the corrugated cardboard.

Distress the edges with a tool.

Make a puddle of Distressink walnut stain and water and dip the edges in it.

Die cut two sizes of gears from orange paper.

I used a set of Spellbinders.

Apply Versamark on the gears, 

but leave spots free so that the orange can still be seen later.

Sprinkle the WOW Egyptian turquoise on the gears.

Melt with the heat tool.

Isn't that beautiful?

Love the result of the embossing powder.

Now you can assemble the card by glueing the layers together.

I stuck the small gear with 1 layer of foam tape.

I stuck the large gear on with double thick foam tape.

Glue the Adventure and the flying car on.

And now you're done.

Hope you guys liked it.

Remember, you still have time to join the challenge.

You have a chance to win new rubber stamps.

But because the rules have changed, I would like to ask you to read the rules first.

This way you avoid disappointments.

Hope to see your participation at the challenge.

I wish you good luck.

# 118, Where did you get that hat.

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 and welcome to my blogpost, this is Riet here from the Netherlands.

Its a happy challenge this time.

 I think that a hat makes you happy and sometimes laugh.

And that is what we need in corona times.

But now about the card.

Love this masculine stamp and the steampunk style.

 I used the LCD stamps,

Flying car

Dictionary

And I used:

Distressink,

Speckled egg

Old paper

Walnut stain

Aged mahogany

Stazon Timber brown

A white pencil

A brown marker

A clock stencil

and a stencil with hand, stars and numbers.

This is how its made.

I started with the distressink speckled egg.

 Made some puddles and picked it up with the paper.

For the second layer i used old paper.

Now stamp the flying car with the stazon timber brown.

Make with a little bit Aged mahogany some stains around the car.

Mask the car and use the stencils with the aged mahogany. 

Stamp the Destiny stamp.with the brown stazon.

With a blending tool and walnut stain you darken the edges and corners.

Sponge the stencil with the clock with speckled egg.

With the white pencil you color his hat and pants and the vanes of the wings.

Splash some waterdrops on the background and let it dry.

With the brown marker you tap on the background to make some spots so it looks older.

Remove the mask and your done. 

Now glue it on some creme and dark brown cardstock.

Dont forget to join this fun challenge.

Make something with a hat, and have a chance to win some rubberstamps.

How great is that.
