31 Days of Halloween Day 1

 

Hi there, Riet here, with the opening of our Halloween/Day of the dead challenge.

Do you enjoy Halloween/Day of the dead as much as I do?

I'm sure so, who doesn't love these holidays?

Join our challenge.

There ar free rubberstamps to win.

How to make this card.

What I used.

LCD stamps,

Flowers

Long swirl

Butterflies set

White nose sugar skull

White gellpen

White posca

Versfine onyx black

Derwent Intense pencils

Stamp the skull in the middle of the card.

Stamp the flowers.

Masc the skull and flowers and stamp the swirl.

The entire card was created using only Inktense pencils.

So if you love coloring, this is a really fun card for you to make.

I started with the background, 

and in the photo you can clearly see the difference

 when the pencil comes into contact with water.

I made shadows with purple on the swirl.

After coloring, I added dots to the swirl with the white Posca pen.

I also added the butterflies.

 With a white gellpen you can make some accents on the flowers and butterflys.

I darkened the top a bit with purple.

I have to admit, I got carried away with the coloring and forgot to take more photos.

Hope you liked the tutorial.

Perhaps you're also making Halloween/Day of the Dead crafts with stamps.

Day 12 of 31 Days of Halloween. White nose sugar skull tag.

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 there, Riet here.

Today I made a tag with the Long swirl in the background and the white nose sugar skull.

I love to color with my aqua markers, but I made the background with watercolor paint.

Here is a step by step explanation.

I stamped the white nose skull with Versafine onyx black.

I then colored the skull with aqua markers.

Then I painted the background with 3 colors of watercolor paint.

I lifted the paint with the long swirl stamp and water.

With distress pine needles I stamped the long swirl along the skull.

I also made some splashes on the tag with white acrylic paint.

Do not forget to cover the skull.

I made the edges of the tag dark with distressink black soot.

Staple a ribbon to it and you're done.

We as a team would love it if you would join our challenge,

 at Lost Coast Designs and Carmens Veranda stamps.

You are free to participate with whichever brand of stamps you want.

But read the rules first to avoid disappointment.

So I hope to see your name there, and maybe you'll even win new stamps.

#110 Spooktacular Florals

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 dear stampers, Riet here.

Today a card with the theme spooktacular florals. 

I chose the day of the dead.

The beautiful large skull can be found here,

http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/dod.html.

I made the background with Distress oxide,

Musterd seed, Mermaid lagoon, Abandoned coral and Lucky clover.

I used a flower stencil / mask from Pronty.  

Then I sponge with the 4 distress oxcides.              

 I outlined the flowers with a black finliner.  

I colored the skull with zig markers. 

And with a nuvo aqua shimmer added some glitter here and there. 

Cut out the skull and glue it on. 

I put a black mat behind it, because then the colors look even more vibrant. 

And finally I glued two large glitter stones on the eyes.

Our challenge will run until the 15th, so make some time and join us. 

You can win some rubberstamps. 

Isn't that fantastic, have fun stamping.
