"cold and Frosty" challenge. Lets party in the snow.

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 everyone, Riet here.

my contribution to the

 "Cold and Frosty" challenge is a Christmas card.

I will tell you how I made it.

I used:

LCD Party pig girl.

Misc words.

Party words.

Long swirl.

Pieces of architecture.

Distress ink:

Tumbled glass

Weatherd wood

Distress oxide: 

Chipped sapphire

Black waterproof ink.

Versamark.

Holly leaf die.

Snowflake stencil.

White embossing powder with a sparkle.

Nuvo glitter gloss silver.

Wax stamp.

Silver metalic marker/pen.

Light blue marker or pencil.

Heattool.

Dark blue cardstock 13.5cm x 18cm.

White card 9.5cm x 14cm.

White cardstock 9.9cm x 14.4cm

Make this background by going over the stencil 

with tumbled glass and weathered wood.

Lightly spray some water on it.

Print it on the paper.

Take another piece of paper and make a puddle with the two inks.

Dab your paper in it and make spots, 

we will die cut the holly branches out of this paper.

Stamp the girl with black ink.

Color her with the blue marker/pencil.

Cut her out and glue her on the card.

With the longswirl you stamp top left with the versamark.

Sprinkle the embossing powder and heatset it with the heat tool.

Stamp the words with black ink.

Take a dark blue cardstock of 18x13.5cm.

Cut or punch the corners off.

Stamp it with the stamp of the pieces of architecture and Distress oxide chipped saphire.

Set aside to dry thoroughly.

Die cut the holly branch twice.

Make the berries silver with the metallic silver marker.

Make a wax seal.

Of course it's up to you. 

You can make a wax seal, or something else. 

A poinsietta is also a great idea.

Assemble the card and finish it.

Now we go with the Nuvo glitter over the girl.

I did the fur edges on her coat. 

Also the bow on her leg and neck, her hair and shoes.

It's a shame, the glitter is so hard to see in the photos.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed it.

Have you also made something that is cold and frosty?

You also have a chance to win stamps of your choice.

And you don't even have to join with LCD stamps.

# 157 Something seasonal challenge

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 blog visitor, Riet here with the last dt post of this year.

There is still time for you to join our challenge.

Did you guys have a good Christmas, I did.

So now we go to the new year.

So I made an invitation card for a new years party.

I used these stamps for it.

pieces of calligraphy,

Pieces of architecture,

shadow frames,

brush strokes,

party pig girl,

Party words.

I used Distress oxide peacock feathers and Seedless preserves.

And a waterproof black ink.

A stencil.

Masking tape.

I started by inking the stencil with seedless preserves.

Spray with a little water and print on the paper.

Then stamp and mask the girl with waterproof black ink.

If you find masking too difficult, you can also stamp and stick her on thin paper.

Use the other stamps as on the example.

But of course you can also make your own mix.

Remove the mask and color the girl with the distress oxide.

Stamp the words from the Party words sheet and glue them on the card.

Make an outline with black and the distress colors.

Finally, splash some black ink here and there on the card.

I hope you liked it.

And there is still time to join the challenge. 

You have a chance to win beautiful rubber stamps.

For me this is my last contribution of this year, 

So I wish you a nice end of the year party.

And see you next year.

This is for the poinsttia’s and the twigs and holly leaves.

Let the paper dry well.

Stamp with vintage photo the girl stamp.

And sponge the edges of the tags with vintage photo.

Now die cut the poinsettia and the leaves and sponge the edges with vintage photo.
