31 Days of Halloween: Day 11 - Happy Frank - O - Ween!

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!

We're movin' right along on our 31 Days of Halloween.

Today I have a frightful bit of sweetness for you...
Frank wandering around in the spooky woods wanting to wish you a
Happy Frank - O - Ween!!!!

The background for this card was made using Lederhosen Laurel Magical Shaker from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I love this color...it's bright and beautiful AND it's full of shine and shimmer. It was stamped with the Trees background stamp using VersaFine Clair Nocturne.  I mounted the panel on a bit of Marigold Foiled Paper from Rinea to really make it pop on the black card base.

I then stamped Frank on a scrap of cardstock and colored him with Arteza Colored Pencils. He was fussy cut and attached to the card using a bit of foam tape.  The sentiment is computer generated and matted with more of the foiled paper from Rinea.

TREAT!!!!

31 Days of Halloween Day 9: Creatures

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, Liesbeth here again on the 9th Halloween day here! Today I show you an ATC-card (Artist Trading Card)

I started by inking an ATC card (2,5 x 3,5 inch...6,4 x 9,8 cm) with pink, purple and orange ink using blending tools. I stamped the Isle of Aud Creature at the bottom of the card and the bird on its back. I used StazOn ink, because it is the best if you use bleach which I use a lot. It will stay almost black. I masked the bird and the creature and stamped the window. Using purple Distress ink, I stamped the text border along the window by bending the stamp a bit. I removed the masks, bleached the bird and creature and finished the piece with a white gel pen (stars) and colour pencils. 

Stamps used: Isle of Aud Creatures, Mini Anthropomorph birds, Door and Window set, and  Antique text border.  (click = see)

I'd love to invite you to join our 31 Days of Halloween challenge and to participate! See you soon!
