Cowboy Hat

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 classic headgear for the Where's My Hat? Challenge.

I've used Carmen's Veranda Rocking Horse and Southwest Town to make a cowboy scene. 

 

I started with a kraft card base and stamped Southwest Town with brown ink.  Then I blended Fossilized Amber and Salty Ocean distress oxides to make the sand and the sky.  I stamped Rocking Horse on some light grey card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut just the horse.  Such a fun little cowboy on his horse.

 

Hope you get time to join the Where's My Hat? fun.  We need at least 20 entries to award the prize so tell your friends and add your stamped makes featuring headgear to the linky.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Ride Em Cowboy

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 our new Man Cave Challenge.  Masculine makes!  Love em??  Hate em??  Stay tuned for loads of awesome inspiration from the team.  Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda have some gorgeous masculine stamps.  Today I rounded up Carmen's Veranda Rocking Horse and made a card suitable for the little or large cowboys in our lives.

I used Carmen's Veranda Rocking Horse and Lost Coast Designs PMC Circle Frame and Party Words. 

I shared a card yesterday for the challenge start where I used stamp kissing with the PMC Circle Frame.  I had stamped the lifted ink off on a scrap of white card and I decided to use it today as a background panel for the Rocking Horse.

I trimmed the stamped circles panel and matted it on some thin brown card.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the Rocking Horse.  I mounted the circle panel and Rocking Horse on a white card base and stamped the Happy Birthday from the Party Words set.

We can't wait to see your Man Cave projects!  Join the fun for a chance to win.  You have until the end of the month to link up your stamped masculine makes.   Don't forget to drop in often for more wonderful inspiration from the team.
