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!
Greetings! You've got Kathi here with a card created for September's "Black and White and One Color" Challenge with the Steampunk Balloon Guys Rubber Stamp and the Travel Quotes Rubber Sheet by Lost Coast Designs.
Ink the Steampunk Balloon Guys Rubber Stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp it twice — once onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
Use Copic markers to color the airship and the Steampunk Balloon in shades of grey.
Fussy-cut the sticker-paper version and place it over it over its counterpart to mask the image.
Place a clouds stencil over the image panel. Starting at the top of the image panel, brush or sponge blue dye ink over the top of the stencil and the masked image onto the image panel.
Rotate and/or flip the stencil, move it downwards on the image panel, and brush or sponge the same blue ink over the stencil and the masked image onto the image panel.
Continue this process until you have a cloudy blue sky. Trim the image panel to 4.75" x 6". Edge it with the same blue dye ink used for stenciling.
Secure the image panel onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the sentiment stamp from the Travel Quotes Rubber Sheet under the Steampunk Balloon. Place a piece of acetate over the image panel. Ink the sentiment stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp to check that the sentiment is straight and where you want it. Remove the acetate, ink the stamp again with Nocturne VFC Ink and stamp. You can re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a good impression.
Remove the image panel from the stamping platform and heat set the image.
Adhere the image panel onto a grey textured A6 card.
Thanks for visiting today!
