Cats and Dogs: Two Cats

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 a card for our Challenge Cats and Dogs! Because of my holiday,( and because I'm chaotic..) I had to choose an oldie, but I think it fits perfectly to this theme! :-)

Stamps used: Two Cats, Pieces of Calligraphy, Pieces of Architecture.

I coloured a big A4 card with Distress inks and water, cut a smaller card and stamped (black ink) and cut the cats out of it. I stamped the texts and fragment with yellow, blue and black ink onto the background and glued the cats onto a yellow cardstock mat and glued them onto the background with 3d foam tape. Why not try it yourself and participate!? :-)

Have a nice and creative day!

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, welcome to our Cats & Dogs Halloween party! I hope this little cat is not too scared!🙈 

I stamped the skeleton and texts with black StazOn ink onto an alcohol inked glossy card. The cat is stamped onto a piece of paper, cut out, coloured with Distress inks and added onto the card. I finished the piece with white and coloured gel pens.

Stamps used: Skeleton and Roses, Pieces of Calligraphy, and Two Cats.

Tag You're It: tag-bookmark

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, welcome to our Tag You're It Challenge! (click ;-) ) I hope you all paricipate and enjoy the fun together!
I made a long tag and a bookmark in one:

I colored a strip of white cardstock with Distress inks and water (pink, yellow and blue), dried it and stamped the two cats from  (Silhouette stamp) Two Cats with pink StazOn ink and masked the upper one, with frame. Then, using black StazOn ink I stamped Carmens Veranda Paradise square and Dove square (I love the squares so much!!)  and the small text from the set Travel Quotes. I removed the mask and stamped some flowers with pink StazOn. (Daisy Flourish). I bleached the dove and some flowers and finished with white gelpen, color pencils and some glitter (Stickles).
