Roni here with another bit of tag inspiration for the current challenge... #92 - Tag You're It!

My steampunk inspired Wander tag....

I started off by mixing up a bit of walnut ink in a ziplock baggie. I then put in several tags and inked them all at one time (it's a great way to have extra tags on hand). Each of the tags was then laid out to dry naturally - you get the best looking designs that way.

Once the tags were dried, I adhered a bit of washi tape and stamped several Steampunk images using different shades of VersaFine Clair inks. It needed a little something so I sponged on a dab of VF Clair Rain Forest ink here and there.

I stamped the oval man image from Up Close & Personal onto another tag which was colored with a variety of colored pencils and stamped the sentiment on the scraps. Both of these were then mounted to the tag with foam tape to pop them off the background.

To finish off the tag I added a nice mix of fancy fibers!

I hope this inspires you to join in on the fun! Only a few days left to enter your tag or other project incorporating a tag in the challenge.

B is for....Bird - Steampunk Birds That Is!

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!

Yesterday we started a new challenge -
Challenge #75 Things That Start with B

I decided to go with something a bit out of the ordinary and go with Birds...Steampunk Birds that is!

I just love all of the fun steampunk themed stamps at Lost Coast Designs and several of them are related to flying like a bird so I thought it would be fun to use them for this challenge.

The background is a gelli print that I made during one of my play times with the gelli plate. I stamped the Steampunk Flying Girl; Steampunk Plane and Steampunk Flier over the entire piece. I then filled in the spaces with a variety of words from the Misc. Words set.

I then printed out the sentiment on my computer, trimmed and adhered it to the card and as a final touch I added a few gemstones to match the background.

Now it's your turn....stamp something that starts with a "B" and enter it into the challenge for your chance to win!!

Lost Coast Designs Stamps - Steampunk Flying Girl; Steampunk Plane; Steampunk Flier; Misc Words

Good Luck Friends!!



Challenge #75 - Things That Start with B

Magic of Flight - Roni

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!

Happy Thursday!
I hope you're all having a fun week so far.

Our current challenge is Anything Goes!!  Wow, choices, choices - it is so hard to decide.  After some consideration I decided upon the Steampunk Plane.

Since we're sponsering the current challenge at AllSorts - Tags I wanted to include a tag in my design.  The plane image was stamped onto this cream colored tag using VersaFine Clair Shady Lane...a lovely green color.  I edged the tag with VFC Green Oasis and a bit of Acorn (brown). 

The word "Magic" from the Misc Words set was stamped with black ink on a scrap of paper then edged again with Green Oasis.

I made the background for the card with a bit of Bronze Creative Medium that was applied to the cardstock using a faux wood grain tool.  It's amazing how realistic it comes out.
