Happy Birthday

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 happy birthday card for you.

Stamp Used:

Joker

So, I started out with a 4x6 piece of paper that had some blue background color on it. I don't remember from what and I stamped Joker in the middle of it. I colored it with copic markers.

I then trimmed it down and put it on a black card base. After that I die cut the film strip and tried to figure where I was going to use it. I decided to cut apart and add white to the middle of it.

Lastly, I die cut out Happy Birthday and glued it the front.

You still have time to join the challenge over on the blog.

Joker Wild

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 all. Happy 2020.

Cathy here with the OG Joker man.

I used a new stamp from Carmen's Veranda called Joker

 I started out on black cardstock, heat embossed the Joker in white and cut him out.  I layered it on purple and glitter green cardstock. Of course, they are Joker colors.  Add some foam squares to the back and set aside so you can work on the card base.

Next I stenciled the background with some white ink. Edged the card also with white ink and lastly add the Joker square to the middle of the card.

Come join the fun here.
We also have a Facebook group you can add you challenge to.
