31 Days of Halloween Day 17 - Mummy and Frank Play Tic Tac Toe

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designsra and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!   Gail here today for day 17 of our spookfest here at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  I've made a game!!!!!  And learnt that canary yellow is maybe not good staging for photographs.  Ah well....... here's my Mummy and Frank themed tic tac toe

 

 

I started with an MDF tic tac toe kit.

You need 5 of each piece so I stamped Lost Coast Designs Frank and Mummy on white shrink plastic.

While waiting for ink to dry I stamped masses of different stamps from Lost Coast Designs directly onto the base board using midnight blue archival ink and masks.  Any gaps I filled in afterwards with sky blue archival ink and all the stamps from Pieces of Calligraphy.  Added a few Flying Monkeys from Carmen's Veranda at the top and I used Lost Coast Designs Gargoyle, Witch Cat, Goth Shrine, MRaven1, MRaven2, Dancing Skeletons, Sugar Skull with Flower and White Nose Sugar Skull.

Then I glued the edge and divider pieces in place.

I coloured the images stamped on the shrink plastic with distress markers and sharpies, fussy cut them and shrunk them with my heat gun. 

I thought the X's and O's looked a bit plain so I stamped them with two of the text stamps from Pieces of Calligraphy and glued the shrunken Mummy's and Franks in place.

Link up your Halloween inspired projects.  Anything related to the season, spooky, fruity, fun, scary or cute.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars$$$$.    

 

Check back every day this month for awesome inspiration from the team

 Hello Portal Peeps!  Gail here today!

Only 2 more sleeps til the big night bwahaahaahahaaaa.  

I hope you have been enjoying the spooktaular projects from the team.   If you haven't had a chance to see them all then grab some candy and scroll down.  It's a Treat!!!!

I'm here today with Mummy and he's sitting in his favourite place in the crypt with a couple of feline friends.

I used a piece of grungy card for my base and stamped Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background with grey archival ink.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs ATC Many Cats on a piece of the grungy card with Sepia archival ink and added it to the tomb decor.  Mummy and the Cats were stamped and fussy cut and I used some Dirty Sand embossing powder to give them some ground. 

 

Remember you also have two challenges here on the blog to choose from so link up your makes for a chance to win.  We are also one of the sponsors of the Cat Lovers Hop, so another chance to win lovely Lost Coast Designs stamps this month.

31 Days of Halloween: Day 3 - Are You My Mummy

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!

Day 3 of the 31 Days of Halloween - Roni here with a card made using the darling little Mummy.

He was colored using Koh-I-Noor's fun Tri-Tone colored pencils. Each individual pencil has 3 colors swirled together in one pencil led. You just color away and it creates some really fun and amazing looks as you can see here.

He was then fussy cut and popped onto a marbled piece of craft paper on a Rinea Foiled Paper mat for a bit of shine.

Hope you like my first card of the Halloween Season

 and stop back in all month long to check out the rest of the spooky creations

that our team has in store for you.
