Where's my Hat: Tres Caballeros

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 lovely people! Liesbeth here with 3 different men with 3 beautiful hats for our Where´s my hat Challenge!

I made this card a long time ago , I don´t think if I already showed it here. But of course it fits perfectly for the theme :-)

It's made with different layers of paper and I coloured it with water colour markers. I finished it with some rhinestones.

 Stamp used: Tres Caballeros 

Hope to see you participate this nice and funny challenge! 

See you next time, hugs,

Paper Piecing: Los Tres Caballeros

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 everyone, Liesbeth here with some Paper Piecing inspiration. It's the theme for our current challenge, give it a try yourself, so much fun!

This time I used just one stamp: Tres Caballeros, one of my all time favourites!

I stamped the Caballeros onto different scraps of paper: clouded blue, copper metalic, pink/skin, and red, green and yellow. I cut out the different pieces and made a nice colour composition. I glued every piece down and finished with some white gelpen accents and some gems. 

Have fun!

#165, Celebrate it!

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!

Its all about celebrations.

Hi, Riet here with my contribution of the celebrations challenge.

The current challenge at Lost Coast designs is so festive.

I have chosen to celebrate friendship.

The stamps I used.

 Tres cabbaleros.

Pieces of architecture.

Pieces of calligraphy.

Party words and Misc words.

And I used:

Archival ink Coffee.

Distress oxide,

Crackling campfire and Wild honey.

Derwent colorsoft,

Indigo, sea green and lime green.

Brown ink or paint for splashing.

Maskingtape.

Orange fineliner.

How to make the card.

Stamp the Tres cabbaleros with the archival ink,

 and do the same on the card with the stamp from the Pieces of architacture.

Stamp with the stamp of the Pieces of calligraphy here and there.

Mask off the corners.

With the distress oxide wild honey and a blendingtool,

 we color the card from the outside in.

Make sure to leave the center empty.

With the Cracling campfire we do the same,

 but only on the outer side and along the masks.

With the masks on the corner stamps,

 we are now going to splash with the brown paint or ink.

Whatever you prefer, ink or paint.

Remove the masks and color as you like.

Cut out the guys and gleu them on the card.

Color them in the same colors.

Do the same with the words, and scribble with the orange fineliner on the edge.

Now it's your turn.

The team would love it if you would join the challenge.

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! It's Sue here and I'm back with another project for our 31 Days of Halloween event. This time I'm sharing Los Tres Caballeros!

I started by inking up my background, then stamping Gargoyle and Gryphon and embossing in white. I also added some text from the Leonardo Accessories set. I added some colour with ink, but left the text in white.

Next, I stamped and coloured Taurus, and the words from Tres Caballeros.

These are my lovely stamps. I quite often chop my stamps up, which is why the words are separate from the images. Don't worry, if you want  Tres Caballeros it will come complete with the three men lol. I've used

Gryphon

Taurus

Gargoyle

Leonardo Accessories 

 Tres Caballeros

I hope you've already joined in with our fun challenge, but if not, there's still plenty of time. Just link up via the linky or through our Facebook group.

Have a very happy day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

 Good morning and a very happy Thursday. It's Sue again and today I'm back with my second pieces for our 31 Days of Halloween challenge.

You can't beat a good head swap can you, though I'm not sure that the guy in the middle is convinced!

Ok, so equal with a head swap is a shaky shaky shaker!

This time I've used

Lost Coast

Skull Flourish (again) but why wouldn't you?

Skeleton and Roses

Tres Cabelleros     and

Carmen's Veranda

Skulls & Bones Background

I hope you're enjoying the inspiration here on the portal. Remember there will be new posts every day throughout October.

Take care and have a spooky day! x

Festive Fun: Let's Celebrate!

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!

Hi everyone, Liesbeth here, it's my turn to show you some inspiration for our Festive Fun challenge! Read everything about it HERE and let's stamp together...hope you'll join the fun.

My example is a very simple one:

I made a background onto very glossy paper (Chromolux) using alcohol inks. With black StazOn ink, I stamped the  Tres Caballeros  and cut it out with a photo edge scissors. I did the same with the text (Party words) I finished the card with lots of glitter glue at the hats and a bit of white gel pen.

For the men: Happy everything!

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 everyone, Liesbeth here showing you some ,men-inspiration' fot our 88th Challenge called ,For the Men. HERE you will find everything about participating and nice inspiration cards from the DT. Hope you will join us!

A very simple one this time! On a left over piece of painted cardstock (rusty and teal colours) I stamped some fragments of the Gears and ATC lattice set with black ink. Also with black, I stamped the men (Tres Caballeros) and cut them out. The same with the text. I sponged a bit of black ink around the edges of the three pieces. I glued them onto the card and I glued it onto a black card.
