Strangely Bizarre

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 inspiration for the Inchie Twinchie Domino Challenge.  I had a look through my stamps for some that would fit on dominos (2" x 1") and found this set of Lost Coast Designs Mini Ancient stamps.  Two were a bit small, two were a bit wide, but I trimmed them, and two were perfect!  Then, after advising two friend this evening that chocolate is the answer, it got a little bit quirky...

I stamped the Lost Coast Designs Mini Ancients using brown archival ink, cut them to size and inked the edges with the same brown ink.  My background is Lost Coast Designs Bubbles Background stamped with Prickly Pear archival ink, then over stamped with Lost Coast Designs Drips and sepia archival ink.  I arranged my domino's on the drips and then stamped the Carmen's Veranda Breakfast Chocolate sentiment in brown archival ink.

For September we want to see your stamped makes featuring Inchies (1" x 1"), Twinchies (2" x 2"), and/or Dominos (2" x 1")  You can make said Inchies, Twinchies or Dominos with real rubber or clear stamping, or you can incorporate these sizes into your project in another way, perhaps chop up your background, or your foreground, cut windows, or maybe make a three dimensional shape, or a tiny album.  

The team is sharing awesome projects all month so do scroll down and pop back to check out all the amazing inspiration.  

Anything goes: Dominos!

Hi everyone, hope you enjoy our 31 Days of Halloween Challenge! 

Day 22 already! I found some small Halloween left-overs and paper scraps  on my working desk and made a tiny book out of it! It measures only 3 x 3 cm! The pages are sponged with a blending tool and orange, yellow and purple Distress ink, and stamped with lots of different stamps and black StazOn ink. I finished the images with bleach, white gel pen en some glitter glue. I sponged the edges with black ink and I used black thread andsome beads for the binding.

Here I show you some of the pages, there are still more. 

Stamps used: Goth Raven, Skeleton and roses, Spiderwebs background, Broken letters set, Mini Ancients, Isle of aud creatures, AUD creatures 2, Ironwork wall.
