Full of sunshine 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!

Goodmorning, Cathy here with a gnome tag for you.

Stamps Used:

Looking up gnome

grunge diamond background

I started out with coloring and cutting out "Ernest" that is what we named him here in our house. 

Then I took a tag and some distress inks and made a background. I used a light tan and a light gray color.

Next, I stamped the grunge diamond background on the tag in different spots. I then added some scraps of pattern paper to it. I edged it all with a dark brown distress ink. 

I then glued Ernest to the tag and added a number sticker to the top

Watching snowflakes

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 a snowflake gnome card for you.

Stamp used: Profile gnome

I started out with some purple cardstock, and I used a snowflake stencil with some white stencil paste. I have never used that stuff and it was fun to use. I had it out, so I made a bunch of backgrounds. Set aside to dry. Once dry I trimmed down to fit on a top folding black card base. 

Next, I stamped the Profile gnome and a few others on some white cardstock and cut them out with my scan-n-cut. I then colored the Profile gnome with my Copic markers and added him to the front of my card. 

Lastly, I added some blue snowflake sequence to the card and of course one right on his nose.

Stargazer Gnome

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 Cathy here with a fun card to make.
Stamps used:
Profile Gnome
Door and window set

Okay I have to spill the beans with this card. I didn't start out to make this card. I was trying to make my card for the start of the challenge. See card below.
           I tried embossing the dragon with gold and it just didn't look good so a tossed it.

So I made this one and it got me thinking I still could use parts from my messed up one so I tore the sides from piece and started with my stargazer gnome card.

 I colored the Profile Gnome with Copic markers cut out and set aside(to be honest I had him done when I first got the gnomes. I just had to color them all)

 So I just taped the ends that I saved from my first project to the ends of a white card front.

Next I took some paste and put it through a star stencil. I then added 3 different colors of Distress Glaze to the top. Set aside to let the paste dry when it was dry I embossed the glaze and you get what it looks like in the photo.

Added the Profile Gnome to the middle and there is my card.
