31 Days of Halloween Challenge - Day 18

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! Kathi here with a bewitching scenic card for Day 18 created with the Witch 2 Rubber Stamp and the Small Cityscape Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs.

I started the card by stamping the Small Cityscape with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink twice — once onto the bottom of a 5.5" x 7.5" piece of white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper.

Witch 2 was then stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink above the cityscape. 

The image panel was placed onto a magnetic glass mat. Both images were colored with Copic markers.

The sticker paper version of the Small Cityscape was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask. An acetate circle was placed over the colored Witch 2 image and secured with magnets. Blue Danube Memento Ink was brushed over the masked Small Cityscape and the acetate circle to create a night sky.

 When the panel was covered to my liking, Paris Dusk Memento Ink was brushed around the edges of the image panel towards the center of the image panel to deepen the night sky.

White opaque watercolor paint was thinned slightly with water. A clean toothbrush was dipped into the white paint. Run your thumb over the bristles to splatter the masked panel (and everything else in sight-including my new glasses. Oops!).

The sticker mask over the Small Cityscape and the acetate circle mask over the Witch were removed. 

A moon mask was placed over the Witch and Lost Shadow Distress Ink was brushed around the Witch to add some detail to the moon. The mask was removed and more Lost Shadow Distress Ink was brushed around the Witch to create her shadow on the moon.

White pearlescent palette chalk was brushed around the moon to add a magical lunar glow to the scene.

The image panel was trimmed to 4.75" x 6.75", edged with a black pen, and adhered to a 5" x 7" grey card. 

A sentiment sticker was added to finish the card.

Stencil of a moon.

White gellpen

Waterproof black inkpad

I started sponging the moon with Wild honey and spiced marmalade.

Scattered straw around the moon on the outside spiced marmalade.

Sponge the pine trees with Hickory smoke.

And a second row of pinetrees with Black soot.

Sponge the sky with Dusty concord and black soot at the edges.

And stamp the witch and the grunge tree with black waterproof ink.

Color the witch,

and give the trees a bit of a white edge with the gelly pen.

Stamp the saying with the black waterproof ink.

We're going to decorate the mat with the border stamp.

And color it in matching colors.

Glue the card on the mat.

Now that was a lot of coloring, but I like the result.

31 Days of Halloween Day 7

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 Portal Peeps!   Gail here, flying in with some inspiration for the 31 Days of Halloween challenge.  I've made a scene with Lost Coast Designs Witch 2 and Yoga Cat 10

I stamped the background with Lost Coast Designs Pieces of Calligraphy and Window using grey ink.  I stamped the Large Circle Shadow Frame with yellow and orange distress ink and then gave the background a watercolour wash with blue distress inks.  I stamped Witch 2, Yoga Cat 10 and Carmen's Veranda Witches Go Riding sentiment on white card, fussy cut, added some colour to the witch and added them to the panel.  Yoga cat lost her legs so she could peer over the top of the sentiment.

Submit your stamped anythings with a Halloween theme to the linky party by 23.59 PST on the 31st and don't forget to follow us so you don't miss anything!  The team will be posting more inspiration throughout the month so check back and join the fun. 

Thanks for dropping by.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 11 - Frightful

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!

Welcome to Day 11 of the 31 Days of Halloween...

Ahhh...another fun day of Halloween goodness.

For todays card I started off by applying 3 colors of Distress Oxide inks to a white card panel using an acetate circle to create a moon. I then flicked on a bit of water and blotted it off (creating such a lovely look).  I used the negative circle die to apply Brilliance White ink (give it a bit of shimmer) to the moon area.

 Next I stamped the Ledger background stamp using Dove Grey ink.   The Cityscape image was stamped along the bottom.  The Witch 2 was then stamped riding across the moon.  I used markers to color her in a bit.  Finally I used a glitter pen to add stars and outline the moon for a bit of sparkle.  I added the  "frightful" sentiment which I outlined with a marker.

9th day of 31 Days of Halloween

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, Riet here.

 Are you already in the Halloween mood?

Here is my card for the Halloween challenge at Lost Coast designs.

If you feel like it, 

you can also participate in the Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda challenge.

You can also participate with stamps from other brands.

But be sure to read the rules about that.

Now to the card and how it was made.

What I used:

Spiderwebs background,

Frank,

Bride of Frank,

Witch 2,

CV When witches go riding.

Dylusions ink sprays.

Crushed grape,

Cut grass,

Squeesed orange.

Versafine black

Versamark

White embossingpowder

skintone marker

white gellpen

Distressink black soot

Distressink Seedles preserves.

I started with 2 pieces of paper.

Just plain paper and a coated one.

You can really see the difference, and I chose to use the left one

 and use the other for another project in the future.

It was sprayed with Dylusions ink sprays.

Crushed grape,

Cut grass,

Squeesed orange.

With Versafine black I stamped Frank and his bride on a piece of paper. 

And colored them with the dylusions.

The skintone is a marker.

While Frank and his bride are drying, I continue with the background.

I'm going to stamp it with the cobweb background stamp.

But because I don't want to do the whole background, 

I tear a piece of tissue paper and put it where I don't want a cobweb.

Now I stamp the cobweg with the Versamark.

and sprinkel some white embossingpowder on it.

Melt it with the heattool.

With Distressink black soot  we make the edges dark.

We now stamp the text of Carmens Veranda Stamps with versafine black.

With a little black ink we make some splashes.

Cut and glue Frank and his bride on the card.

For the witch I used a piece of paper that I first lightly sponged 

with Distressink Seedles preserves.

Then stamped the witch with versafine black

and added accents with a white gel pen.

Frank and his bride also received some accents with the white gel pen.

Maat the card with black and it is finished.

We, the team at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps,

 would love it if you would join us at the challenge.
