Travelling Boris

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 For The Men Challenge.

I decided to visit Carmen's Veranda Famous People and Boris fancied a trip out today.  Isn't he wonderful!!   I do love these big people faces stamps.

I decided to go black and white for this card.   I stamped Lost Coast Designs Mini Phrenology Collage twice on a white card panel with black archival ink.  Then I stamped Boris on white card, fussy cut him and added him.  To finish I stamped a couple of stamps from Lost Coast Designs Travel Quotes set.

You have all month to join the fun with your stamped makes featuring men or masculine things.
We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Hi everyone, it's Liesbeth here, continueing our For the Men challenge. There's still time for you to join  the fun till the end of the month...so...why not?? :-)

When I searched for an appropriate men-stamp, I found this wonderful mini collage stamps, oh how I love them!!

I stamped the Mini Phrenology Collage with black StazOn ink on a alcohol inked glossy paper and coloured it with Distress markers and I used a white gel pen. I also used Mini Bug Collage here and ther with some blue StazOn ink. And of course the word Adventure (Misc. Words).

Hope you like it! See you next time,

Sunshine and the Great Outdoors

Hello Portal Peeps.  Gail here with a little vintage style make featuring the dapper Drake Dog from Lost Coast Designs.  He always makes me think of a Victorian country gent.  I made a bit of a grungy background for him using a few different stamps.

 

I stamped the focal point using Lost Coast Designs Mini Phenology Collage stamp with potting soil archival ink.  I used part of the stamp that featured the lovely buildings and concentric circles.  Then using the same ink I roughly stamped the script words and a pattern from Pieces of Calligraphy and then filled in the gaps with ATC Doodle Flowers stamp.  No masking or even using a block, the same ink makes everything blend nicely together.

I edged the panel with the same brown ink and then smeared on a bit of Tumbled Glass distress ink and spritzed with water to soften and blend.  When it had dried I stamped Carmen's Veranda Live In The Sunshine sentiment and added Lost Coast Designs Drake Dog, stamped coloured and fussy cut.

I hope you get some time to stamps something in a vintage or steampunk style and join the fun here at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  The team are sharing inspiration the rest of the month with this theme and we hope to see lots of lovely entries in the linky.  Take care.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
