Hello, Cathy here with a slimline card for you.

Stamps used:

Brush strokes

number border

Coffee

Saying

I started out with some distress ink colors. I used ink splat stamp from Brush strokes and inked it up. Then I sprayed it with water and stamped. It made it have a watercolor effect. Clean off the stamp and move it, pick a different color and repeat the process.

Next, I stamped the number border on the bottom of the panel and set it aside. I stamped the old lady with the Coffee and colored it with the same colors I used to stamp the background. Cut her out and placed her on top of the number border.

I layered the panel on black cardstock. I then stamped Saying and cut out and layered that on black and added that to the top of the card. I mounted on a white card base.

 

I hope you will join the challenge here.

Cathy here with day 15

Stamps used: 

Gnome witch with no stars

Pieces of calligraphy 

Fly from the bugz set

Flying birds

I started out with some watercolor paper and distress oxide spays and some distress spays in Halloween colors. I then cut it with a die cut to make it into a slim lime card front. Next I stampedPieces of calligraphy  randomly on the background I also did that with the   Fly from the bugz set and the Flying birds but with this one I cut one of the birds from the background stamp so I could use only one. 

Then I stamped and cut out Gnome witch with no stars and colored her with copic markers. 

To make the flat slim line shaker I took a shaker pocket and covered the front and taped up 3 of the sides of it. Then I added my shaker Halloween mix and some rat confetti that I had. 

Use some red liner tape to tape  Gnome witch with no stars to the front of the shaker pocket after you sealed the last of the pocket and then you then add it to the front of the slim line card base. 

I used red liner tape for that also.

Come join the Halloween fun here.

Slim line Bees

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 slimline card for you.

Stamps Used:

Bugz Set

Large chicken wire background

I stared off making the the squares for the card. I used 2 yellow distress sprays to color the paper then I used a brown to add the spots. 

I then stamped the Large chicken wire background with  the same brown all over the square. I didn't ink it all over so there are some spots that a not there. 

Next I cut it in to 1 and 2 inch squares. When I had them all cut I stamped the bee from the Bugz Set with black ink on different parts of the 1 and 2 inch squares. I set that aside to work on my card base.

I used Kraft cardstock and that same brown distress ink and stamped the Large chicken wire background for the background of my card. As you can see I have a black strip of cardstock on my card because I didn't get the stamp lined up perfectly. 

I then arranges the squares how I wanted them on the front and glued them into place. Lastly I stamped the bee definition on the bottom corner. 

I hope you will join us with the challenge here.

Challenge #113,Things beginning with a B, Beautyful girl, Bird.

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!

B for Bird.

How are you all, hope you are crafting.

Because this is a fun challenge.

Something with a letter B makes you look at a different way at your stamps.

So our team leader Gail made a great choise with this challenge.

For this card I used the lovely vintage stamp Annie.

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

Also used the Victoriana set.

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

And the dictionary stamps.

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

What I used for this card.

Resist fluid.

A stencil with numbers.

A stencil with ABC.

Stazon Timber brown.

Distress oxide:

Iced spruce.

Antique linen.

Ground espresso.

Abandoned coral

Versa magic  Malted Mauve.

White gellpen.

How to make this card.

First I made a mix with the distress oxide antique linen and iced spruce on my craftsheet.

Then I incorperated the colors here and there on the paper.

Keep the colors on the paper light.

Now put the numbers stencil on your background and spray the resist flued.

Dry this very well.

Now with some abandoned coral and a little water you make the rest of the color on the card.

Make sure that you still can see the other colors shine trough.

With the dictionary stamp and stazon timber brown we make some prints. 

I chose to stamp it without the big word on top, but that is for you to decide.

The corner stamp is the stamp from the Victoriana set.

I stamped it half on the edge of the paper and made a corner stamp of it.

Stamped it with the stazon timber brown.

The medalion with the face is stamped with the Versamark Malted Mauve.

Now take a thin piece of paper and stamp Annie with Stazon timber brown.

Color the image with markers or pencils.

Glue her on the card and ad some highlights with the white gellpen.

The word “bird” is written with a stencil.

With the Maulted Mauve I made some splashes on the card.

Glue the card on 2 layers of cardstock, and your done.

 Now the team would love to see what you make with the letter B.

So join our challenge, and maybe you will win some rubber.

Hello all Cathy here with a slimline card for you.

Stamps used.

Pointy hat gnome

small snowflake set

So I was inspired by my Christmas pattern paper I have. (pinks,teals,whites, ) 

I stamped Pointy hat gnome on white cardstock and then I stamped small snowflake set in pinks all around him. 

I then colored him in teal to match the teal snowflake pattern paper. 
Next I layered the papers and then I decided to make it into a slimline card. So I then took one of the snowflake from the  small snowflake set that I didn't use and stamped that in teal ink all over the card base.

Hello all. Cathy here with a slimline card for you today. 

Stamps used:

Pieces of Calligraphy 

Frankenstein 

Pumpkin 

I started out with Tim Holtz wallpaper for Halloween. I stamped Pieces of Calligraphy  randomly over the paper. 

Next I stamped Pumpkin  on white cardstock. I then stamped Frankenstein  on tissue paper. Cut Frank apart and collaged him onto the pumpkin. When that was dry I colored it with Copic markers and cut out.  

Then I took one of Tim Holtz Halloween paper dolls and colored it with Pitt pens. They work great coloring on a coated surface. I then added the pumpkin head to cover the head of the paper doll. 

Mr. Punkinstein was born. 

Add some bits and pieces to make the card complete.
