31 Days of Halloween Day 14. Halloween explosion box.

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 there, Riet here.

I made a Halloween explosion box. 

I love the halloween stamps from lost coast Designs.

Stamps I used:

Lost coast Design

Pieces of calligraphy

Pieces of archtecture

Long swirl

Grunge tree

Spiders web

Four ravens

Goth raven

Evil eye

Witch 2

Crows border

Carmens Veranda

CV Winged skeleton

Other stuf for this explosion box.

We R Makers explosion board

12x12 200 grams paper

61/2 x 61/2 200 grams paper

halloween stencil

Bleach

posca markers

white gellpen

Dylusions paint

Lemon zest

Tangerine dream

Dylusions sprays

crushed grape

polished jade

cut grass

tangerine dream

versafine onyx black

distressink black soot

I made the box using the We R Memory makers explosionbox board.

I took the XXL size for that.

Take sturdy paper, I used 200 grams.

 With the Dylusion paint Lemon zest and a 

ink blending tool or a sponge you can now make the paper completely yellow.

Using a baby wipe and the dylusion paint tangerine dream, 

lightly wipe over the yellow.

Now we will stamp the box with Versafine onyx blacke.

You can do this with any black waterproof ink.

Now pay close attention! A mistake was easily made.

Place the box unfolded in front of you,

be careful not to stamp the image upside down.

Start with the top center square and stamp your image.

Now turn your box a quarter turn to the right and stamp the next center square.

You do this a total of 4 times.

The lid is also stamped this way.

Because I found the color of the box a bit boring, 

I decided to spray some of the dylusions ink sprays on it.

I sprayed a little too much for my liking, so take it easy with the sprays.

I stamped the inside of the box with the spider web background stamp.

Always make sure your ink is completely dry before turning the paper over.

Otherwise you will get smudges.

Now we are going to bleach certain parts in the stamps.

I prefer to work with a cheap synthetic brush.

Your brushes are suffering quite a bit from the bleach.

Once everything is dry, we continue with applying some colors with the posca markers.

A few accents here and there is enough.

You can also add some accents with the white gel pen.

Now we are going to fill in next to and around the 4 sides with stamps.

This we keep in black ink.

With a Halloween stencil and Black Soot distress ink, 

I added some decorations to the inside of the box.

With an ink blending tool and Black Soot distress ink, 

I added some shadow to the edges of the box.

A witches hat and some other little Halloween stuf in the middle.

With flying bats on a strip of mica.

And that's it, you can decide for yourself the decoration in the box. 

You probably have something in your stash that you can use.

I hope you enjoyed it, and if you have any questions please let me know.

Well for the challenge, the team would love it if you would participate.

And that is even allowed with stamps from other brands.

It's so much fun and you can win a prize too.

Hello, all Cathy here with a card for Halloween

Stamp Used:

Four Ravens

I started of making the background by ink smooching a purple and blue distress oxide ink. I then dried it and added some green distress spray. 

Next, I stamped Four Ravens on white cardstock and colored with copic markers. I added some sparkle with sparkle pens to the feathers and the rays of the sun. I then mounted it on black cardstock and then stuck it to the middle of the card base that I made.

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 everyone,

No tutorial today, I forgot to take the pictures.

But I'll give you a brief explanation.

 

I used:

Lost Coast Designs stamp, 4 ravens

Lost Coast Designs stamp Birds in trees

distress oxide,

dusty concord

crackling campfire

spiced marmalade

mustard seed

A waterproof black ink (Stazon)

color pencils

mask tape

white gel pen

First I stamped and masked the trees.

Then I sponged the entire card with mustard seed.

Then you stick a circle of masking tape, this will be the moon.

Then you will apply the colors.

From below you leave a border yellow,

then spiced marmalade, then crackling campfire.

And finally dusty concord.

Spray a light mist of water to get some spots.

Remove the moon mask, and apply some spiced marmalade on the moon with a small sponge.

Remove the trees mask.

Stamp the 4 ravens on a paper and color them.

Cut them out without the moon and lower loose feather.

Stamp the 4 ravens on the card with stazon but without the moon and the feather at the bottom of the stamp.

Glue the cut out 4 ravens to the stamp imprint on the card.

Give it some shade with a black pencil.

Give the ravens and feathers some accents with a white gel pen.

I hope you liked it.

Hallo everyone, Riet here.

I thought this quote was a good fit for this card.

I love this stamp, so mysterious.

This is how I made this card.

Four ravens,

Fourth dimention,

Rustic checker board,

Victoriana.

Stazon Jet black

Markers, 

orange, 

yellow, 

dark blue,

grey,

black.

purple.

White gelpen.

Masking tape.

I stamped the 4 raven stamp In the middle of the cardstock.

mask it and stamped over it with the 4th dimention stamp.

When the stazon is dry you can start coloring with the markers.

I used watercolor based markers.

If you want to color with alcohol based markers, then dont use stazon. 

Then use Memento.

Now the checker board frame.

Stamp it 4 times with black on white paper.

Cut to fit around the card, diagonally in the corners.

If it doesn´t fit perfectly, don´t worry.

There will be a victoriana element over it. 

So you wont see any of that later.

Stamp 4 of the smallest victoriana elements,

color and cut them out.

Now glue everything together.

 

Now, this was fun, and its even more fun to join our challenge.

3 eyed raven

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!

Cathy here with a card for the Say What challenge.
Winter is coming says the 3 eyed raven. This stamp Four ravens reminds me of the T.V. show Game of Thrones.

 First off I stamped She Loved the Sea saying with Versafine ink on the card to use it as a background.

Next I stamped Winter is coming on a scrap white cardstock. Tore it out and colored it with distress ink.

Then I made this wing with a mold I got. It had to dry for 2 days for me before I could paint it.  I used black paint and then I used Opal Magic wax over top to give it the blue tint.

I took the Four Ravens stamp and stamped it on copic friendly paper and colored it with copics markers.

I cut out the Four Raven panel with a die and I glued it on the card then I took the dried and painted wing and glued it to the front of the card.  I used foam squares to add the Winter is Coming saying to the top of the card.
