The Serious Moonlight

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 Friday, it's nearly the weekend again! It's Sue here, and for my second project for our Under The Sea challenge, I've made a giant tag.


I started by making a gelli print background using my new Lavinia ink pads and Brusho's. The inks are wonderful, so juicy, I now need a full set lol.


I cut my tag using a die from a slimline card set. Then I stamped the bubbles border and embossed it in white.


I thought it looked nice, but a bit too clean so I decided to grunge it up a little. I dripped and sprayed some paints and dried off with my heat gun.

I liked it a lot better, but I really wished that I'd stamped the bubbles lengthways, so I started all over again lol. I used the spare one to die cut my moon and stars.

Next I stamped and cut out my Doodle Seahorses.


I love the way the paints have dripped and run.
These are my lovely stamps. I've used


I hope you like it and that you join in with us for the chance to win some Lost Coast $'s.
Take care and have a very happy weekend x

There Is No Beauty Without Some Strangeness

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 journal page for our  Vintage/Steampunk challenge, and I've taken us under the sea.



My teamie Iona is the queen of masking, and I decided that I really should do this more. So, I stamped my punky creatures on some heavy-duty mixed media paper, and made my masks.


Then I dipped and dabbed in Distress Oxides. Time for the great reveal....

Phew it worked, I now have my steampunk fish and seahorse ready to colour.

These have been coloured with paint pens and pencils. If I'm really honest, I'm much happier to stamp and fussy cut rather than mask, so I can't see myself doing this again in the near future.
I've finished off with some white embossing, and some rusty Frantage. The quote is by Edgar Allan Poe and I thought it fitted in quite well. Then I've just sewn it into my journal.


These are the stamps that I used

I hope you like it, and that you join in with our challenge.


Enjoy your weekend, and thanks so much for looking x
