#183 Let's Fly - Not All Who Wander

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!

Time for another fun challenge and this time I went a wee bit Steampunk...

I wanted this to like they were plans to build a set of wings so I started by stamping the Steampunk Fly Girl on a piece of grid pattern paper. I then stamped the Ledger background in brown ink specifically using the column of figures and the months on the opposite side of the card.  I stamped some text - Pieces of Calligraphy - in red and added some fingerprints and smudges here and there so it looked like these were well worn plans.  I finished the card off by stamping the Not all Who Wander sentiment in the corner.

I hope you join in on the Let's Fly theme this month.

Let´s Fly: Bookmark

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 everyone, Liesbeth here with a piece of inspiration for our Let's Fly-Challenge. This time it's not a real challenge, because there are so many beautiful stamps for this theme! I made a shiny bookmark with the lovely insects! 

I stamped the Bubble Border with orange StazOn ink onto a piece of alcohol inked glossy paper. And also some parts of the Roses stamp with yellow StazOn ink. Last but not least I stamped the insects, More Bugz,  with black StazOn and added a tiny bit of gold embossingpowder. I finished the bookmark with coloured gel pens and black edges. I glued it onto an orange card and added a metal ,roof' and a gem.

Hope you are inspired to participate to the challenge :-) 

See you next time,

Liesbeth

Let's Fly: Golden Peacock

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!

Welcome again from Laurie with another project for our "Let's Fly" challenge going on all during the month of March here on the Lost Coast Portal.  This card was made using the Teri's Peacock stamp from Lost Coast Designs.  

The background for this is a piece of decorative tissue paper in shades of aqua, darker green, and gold.  Using a glue stick I glued it atop a scrap piece of a gelli print I had on hand that was in a really dark green color.  I edged the tissue paper with a gold marker once it was glued down and layered that with metallic gold paper and white paper.

The peacock was dry embossed with gold embossing powder onto a turquoise gelli print and fussy cut out.  I added more color with turquoise, dark blue, and purple Copic Sketch Markers.  I added a small golden crown to the top of his head to give him a really regal look.  Coloring in the feathers was a lot of fun too!

I then attached him atop the tissue paper background.

We look forward to seeing your projects for this current Challenge.  You might just be the lucky winner of some free stamps from Carmen's Veranda or Lost Coast Designs!

Hi there, Riet here,

Today I have a slimline card for the "Let's fly" challenge.

I used the Bugz set and the beautiful Daisy florish.

I also used a stamp from the Brush strokes sheet, 

To give the corners some more depth.

For the inks I used Distressink Shaded lilac, 

Speckled egg, Antique linen and Walnut stain.

What would you make with the theme from this month????

Show it to us and join the challenge.

The challenge runs the whole month of March.

Maybe you will be the lucky one and win new rubberstamps.

Hope to see you join us on the challenge blog,

 or you can participate the challenge on Facebook.

Let's Fly: Butterfly Lady

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!

Happy February 1st to all of you and welcome to our latest month long challenge:  Let's Fly.

So many ways you can interpret this theme, so let your imagination run wild and share some "flying" creations with us during the month of March.

This card features the Head In Hands stamp from Lost Coast Designs.  The background is a section of a master board I created using vintage French papers.  I thought the vintage look of the collage went well with the stamp.  I layered the collage with a tan panel as well.

The image was stamped onto white paper with black ink and cut out using deckle edged scissors.  I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and used Copic Sketch Markers to color the image.  The butterfly was colored solid blue and I used a gold gel pen to add some detail to the wings. 

The stamped image was layered with a tan panel then affixed to the center of the card front.

We are excited to see what fun things you create so be sure to post your makes here on the Portal for a chance to win some free stamps!
