Purple Postcard

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!

Goodmorning all, Cathy here with a postcard for you. 

Stamps Used:

Brush stokes

Pieces of Architecture

Daisy Flourish 

Pieces of Calligraphy

Fortune men set

I started out with a watercolor postcard. I stamped a corner(ish) stamp from the Pieces of Architecture and I heat embossed it with white embossing power. 

Next, I used some Lindy's magical shaker pigment powers. I didn't realize they had shimmer in them. Where the embossed areas are the powers didn't go. 

I then took Daisy Flourish, Pieces of Architecture, and Brush stokes and stamped them around the sides of the postcard in purple distress ink.

After that I stamped a stamp from Fortune men set in black ink to stand out. Lastly, I added some black paint splatter to the whole thing. 

Come join our new month-long challenge over on the blog.

Okay this challenge stumped me I must say. I started out it a totally different direction. I ended tossing it in the trash. 

 Then remembered that Yupo paper is plastic. There we go.

I used my alcohol inks on the Yupo to make a background. Next I took my stamps and stamped them with archival ink and heat set them. Take a stencil and some alcohol and a sponge and sponge it through. You can use lift ink for that also. To give it another layer.  

Then I added a saying and layered it on a black card base. 

I hope you try this challenging challenge here.

Patron of Foolish Intentions

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 today.  Have you seen the awesome makes from the team this month for the Numbers challenge???  Do you have a favourite??  Difficult to choose with so much amazing inspiration and fun going on.  I decided to roll out the Patron of Foolish Intentions and his Sheep.

I stamped Lost Coast Designs #3 Patron of Foolish Intentions on a cream card panel and coloured with distress markers.  I masked and stamped Lost Coast Designs Many Sheep background in a rainbow of distress inks and the Carmen's Veranda Queen of Everything sentiment.  I edged the panel with a rainbow of Promarkers and mounted on a pale blue card base.  Finally I went a little crazy with the white gel pen and coloured the sheeps' eyes.  

Get out your stamps and your numbers and join the fun.  You gotta be in it to win it and someone will be winning some Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps!!!

Be....ATCoins

Cathy here with some ATCoins

Stamps used:

ATC Set 6, 

Pieces of Calligraphy

Fortune of men set

I started out with the leftovers from my card I made for the start of the new challenge. I used pieces of calligraphy  and ATC set 6 and some blue ink. I stamped randomly over white cardstock. When I was cleaning my stamps off with a baby wipe I had a lot of ink on it and I smeared it all over it to give the paper a blue wash. I was going for a blueprint feel for it.

I made a card with the paper. I hade some left on my table so I cut out 3 ATCoins with the left over paper. 

Next I took some stamps from  Fortune of men set and stamped them on the ATCoins. I edged the ATCoins with black ink to match my stamped men from Fortune of men set.

Lastly I took some words stickers and added them to the ATCoins. 

I hope you will join the challenge here.

Pearl ATCs

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 all Cathy here with some ATCs for you.

Stamps Used:
Window and Door set
Fortune Men set

This first one I used glossy cardstock and Distress Oxide sprays. I wanted to see if the sprays would stay on the glossy paper.  It did.  I did wipe off the Oxide (cloudy) film with a baby wipe.  I stamped the door from Window and Door set with archival ink so it would stay on the glossy paper. Trim it a little to fit on a black ATC base.

Stamp a image from Fortune Men set on white paper and cut out. Add to front then and a saying.

 For my next one I wanted to try the Alcohol Pearl ink. Here are some of the ATCs I made with the AI Pearl and regular Alcohol ink.  Can you see the shimmer.

For this one I used the window from the  Window and Door set.  Stamp it with archival ink. Trim it down to fit on a Black ATC base

Stamp the wizard from  Fortune Men set on white cardstock. Color in and cut out. Add to front and also add a saying.
