Just Citrus

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 Portal Peeps!!   Gail here today with some more Lemon and Lime inspiration.  This month we are asking you to pick a colour scheme between Lemon and Lime or Turquoise and Terracotta.   The choice is yours!  Your anything should feature mostly your two chosen colours and don't forget to stamp.

I've kept it simple and used the lovely Jester Square by Carmen's Veranda coloured with green and yellow distress watercolouring.  I stamped the Happy Birthday and Do I smell cake? from Lost Coast Designs Party Words using Prickly Pear archival ink.

 

Grab your stamps and pick your colour scheme and join the fun.   We give a real rubber stamp prize to our randomly picked winner, but we do need at least 20 entries to award the prize, so tell your friends and get stamping!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Hello Portal Peeps!   Gail here today.  The Cold and Frosty Challenge makes are looking lovely.  Don't forget to add yours to the linky for a chance to win.   I went with blues for cold and glitter for frost with this lovely Jester Square from Carmen's Veranda.

I stamped and embossed the Pondscum Background stamp with some glittery embossing powder and smooched on some distress inks in shades of blue.  I stamped Jester Square, embossed with silver embossing powder and coloured with sharpies.  The happy birthday is from the Party Words set.

Hope you like my cold and frosty birthday card.  You have all month to link up your stamped anythings for a chance to win if you get some time away from all the festive crazy.

CHALLENGE #70

HIP TO BE SQUARE

This fortnight the team are going to be showcasing Carmen's Veranda's Squares.

These are a series of nearly 40 stamps which have an arty, distressed look.  Most are 2.75", but a few are 4".  They make a wonderful focal image for your projects, as I am sure the team will show us.   If you have any of these stamps we would love to see them, but of course, if you don't, we will accept square projects, and square elements in your projects.  Just please remember that real stamping needs to be obvious.  Digi creations will be deleted without notice. 

Please remember we do have some Challenge Rules to follow so look them over to ensure your entries qualify to win this month's prize!

You are welcome to play in our Challenges using rubber stamp images from any company but if you use any of our Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps...we love it when you do...then your entry counts as two which doubles your chances of winning in our random prize drawing.
