Three Wise Monkeys

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.
There's still time to join the inchies, twinchies or dominos challenge.
You have a chance to win rubberstamps of your choice.

Now how to make this slimline card.

 I used:
Stamps

Distress Oxide:
Twisted citron
Mowed lawn
Rustic wilderness
Wild honey
Spiced marmalade 
Crackling campfire
Peacock feathers
Uncharted mariner
Distress ink Chipped sapphire
Because I don't have Distress oxide Chipped sapphire, 
however I do have Distress ink, so I used that.
Stazon Timber brown
White gellpen.
Marianne design slimline cr1585
Coloured pencils or markers, whatever you like.
Washi tape small,
Green, orange and turquoise.
Foam tape.

Start by die cutting out the slimline parts.

Step 1
The coloring of the paper happens in 3 phases.
1. The lightest color.
2. The middle color.
3. The darkest color.
Allow each layer to dry thoroughly before applying the next.

Step 2

Step 3

Repeat this with the rest of the colors and die cut parts.


Stamp with Stazon Timber brown the small text stamp
 from the Pieces of calligraphy sheet.

Stamp the three monkeys on thin paper using Stazon Timber Brown.
Color them with the colors from the card.
I also used three shades of each color for each monkey.

I used the washi tape to hold the monkeys in place.
Otherwise, they just hang awkwardly in the air.

Highlight the edges with the darkest shade of green.
Do the same with the blue background and the orange center piece.



It should look like this by now.
Continue assembling the card with foam tape.


Wouldn't you love to get some free stamps?
Well, then join the Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda Stamps challenge.
You don't even have to use our stamps to enter.
Read about that in the rules.
So I hope to see your creation there.

Two twinchies

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 2 twinchies for you.


                                                              
                                                                    Stamped Used:
                                                     small skeleton 
                                                    Flying skull  
                                                    pieces of calligraphy 

I started by cutting 2 pieces of white cardstock to 2x2 and then coloring them with distress ink. I then cut 2 black cardstock pieces and then I trimmed the white ones down to stack on top of the black ones. 
I stamped each with the main stamp in black and then stamped the script in the same distress ink color I did the background in.
Lastly, I added some ephemera to each of them.

 Come join the fun challenge.
