Rise And Shine

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. Today I'm sharing the words that I live by for my second project for our "Think Pink" challenge.

I started by making a background on my gelli plate using inks and Brusho's. You can see the gaps on the print where I haven't cleaned my gelli plate but I quite like these, so they're staying lol. (And no, I still haven't cleaned my plate!)

I added some stamping (in pink of course) using my new 'Pieces of Caligraphy' stamp plate, and added some stencilling and some embossing powder in the corners.

Then I inked up and stamped my tags.

I sewed my background and tags onto a journal page, and quite liked how it looked, but it still needed finishing off....

So I added some (pink) texture paste through a stencil to tie in the background with my image and sentiment. I also photographed it in the 10-minute daylight window that we had! This gives a much better idea of the true colours. 

These are the stamps that I've used

Caffinate Tag

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!

Cathy here with a tag for you.
I hope you are enjoying the Summer.

I started out with I tag I had in my stash that I had made awhile ago. I want to say it made with distress ink but I cant say for sure. I know I have black paint splatters on it.
The xxxx's are glossy texture paste with some black paint to color it through a stencil.
Next I stamped the Happy Cat on the bottom of the tag. I stamped it again on white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. Cut out and added it the cat on the tag.
Then I stamped corner swirl in gray ink around the edges of the tag.

I stamped Rise and Shine saying above the cat's head .

Come join the fun here.

Hope For The Best

Good morning and happy Wednesday, it's Sue here with my 'Say What' project.

I started with lots of Distress Inks, and this beautiful Carmen's Veranda Peacock Feather.

 Now I could never pick a favourite stamp, but if I could this may be it! These Showgirls just make me happy!

Every so often a stamp comes along and you just have to have it 'cos it's the story of your life. This is my stamp! It's by Carmen's Veranda and it's called Rise and Shine

I just added some feathers (no purple birds were harmed), some silver mirri card and a bit o'bling, and we're all done.
There's still a little bit of time to join in with our fun challenge, so I hope to see you over on the portal.

Have a fun day, and thanks very much for looking xx
