#186 Red, White and Blue challenge.

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 with a stamp from the new animals serie.

 

Today a small tag, for the red, white and blue challenge of Lost coast designs.

This challenge runs until the end of the month, so there's still plenty of time to participate.

I stamped with the bird from the new animal series from LCD.

These will soon be for sale in the online store.

The funny text is one from Carmens Veranda stamps.

And the little swirls are a part of the silhouette dancer.

I also used Stazon Black cherry and Ultramarine.

Distressink barn door and chipped sapphire.

White acrylic paint and a white gelpen.

I started with the red and blue distress ink, 

which I spread on my craft sheet and diluted with water.

I painted the top left corner with red.

I did the same with blue around the bird.

A little red on the underside of the bird.

Stamped the text with the blue stazon.

And the swirls are also stamped with the two stazon colors.

Colored the bird with blue and red distress ink.

And gave the bird some accents with the white gelpen.

Splashed some white paint, but first covered the bird with a piece of paper.

Matte the tag with half blue and half red cardstock.

I love the new bird stamp, he has such a funny look.

That's it for this time.

I sincerely hope that you will join the challenge.

Maybe you will be the winner for this challenge, 

and you will win new rubber stamps of your choice.

#118 Where did you get that hat.

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 stamp lovers.

Here a post from me, Riet.

What a fun challenge.

Its all about hats, I love that hat, hihi.

For this card I used the pretty LCD stamp Manga goth with tophat.

and the large florish

The words are from Carmens Veranda Wine and chocolates

 What more did I use?

Pink, turqoise and purple pencils.

stazon royal purple

Mandala stencil/mask

Distressink, seedles preserves, dusty concord.

White gelpen

Nuvo shimmer powder, lilac waterfall.

White gelpen.

Start by wetting the paper over the middle part of the paper.

Sprinkle some nuvo powder on the wet part.

When required, spray some water over it.

But no powder on the upper and lower part of the paper.

Dry the paper with the heattool.

On the bottem half stamp the florish with the stazon royal purple.

Now take the mandala and spunge with the seedles preserves over the madala.

Do not go over the florish.

With the pecils I colored the florish and some parts of the mandala.

This way it pops more.

On a piece of paper I stamped the manga girl with the royal purple stazon.

And colored her with the pencils.

And with the white gelpen I added some high lights on the 

manga girl and the florish.

With the two distress colors I made some splashes of ink on the card.

Now glue the manga girl on the card.

And stamp with the purple stazon the words on the top of the card.

I added 2 colors of cardstock at the back.

Now, for the challenge we would love to see what kind of hat you are going to show us.

So join our challenge, and maybe you wil be the next winner.
