Born To Stand Out

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 Saturday! It's Sue here, and today  I'm happy to be sharing my second project for our silhouette challenge. This time it's a page in my hand made Lost Coast album.

 

I started by roughly inking a background on some card.

Then I added some white acrylic stars using my homemade star stencils.

Then I added some more stencilling using pastel coloured paints.

Then lots of stamping. I've used my lovely ballerina, and also the silhouette angel around the sides.

And this is how she looks when she's added to my album. Where else could you get to see a silhouette ballerina next to Carmen Mooranda!

These are the lovely stamps, I've used;

Silhouette Angel

Ballerina With Stars

Born To Stand Out

I hope that you like this, and also that you join in with our fun challenge for the chance to win some Lost Coast $'s

Have a great weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

Green Angel

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!

Welcome my friends!
Ink Stained Roni here...

I hope you're staying warm wherever you are.
Today to break out of the winter blahs I thought it would be fun to go green....

Monochromatic Green that is

I started off by stamping the winged angel using Verdant VersaFine Clair Ink; I then stamped "Beauty" with Memento Bamboo ink.  The background flourishes were stamped using Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink then spritzed with Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz.

I trimmed the angel, matted her on white cardstock, added a few gemstones and a bit of twine then pop dotted her onto the card base.  It's very sparklie IRL - wish you could see it.

Supplies:

Lost Coast Designs - Silhouette Angel, Misc Words, Long Swirl

It's your turn to join in on the fun!

Good Luck Everyone!!
