Hello Portal Peeps!!   Are you enjoying all the wonderful colour inspiration on the blog this month??  Two beautiful colour schemes to choose from and today I went with Terracotta and Turquoise.

I started with a pale turquoise patterned card panel and randomly stamped Lost Coast Designs large circle Shadow Frame with salty ocean distress ink.  I egded the panel with the same ink.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Pokey Cat on the card panel and then on white card using archival sepia ink.  I watercoloured the cat with rusty hinge distress ink and blue gel pen and fussy cut.  The sentiment is Carmen's Veranda Ask For Directions sentiment. 

Join the colour challenge fun.  Link up your stamped anythings featuring the colours LEMON AND LIME or TERRACOTTA AND TURQUOISE.  

Thanks for dropping by.

Hello Portal Peeps.  
 

It's halfway through June and time for a mid-month blast of inspiration from the team for our Colour Challenge.  Our challenges are now monthly!  A new challenge starting the 1st every month, with chances to win Lost Coast dollars.   This month we are all about the colours Lemon and Lime OR Terracotta and Turquoise.

CHALLENGE #198

COLOUR CHALLENGE

We want to see your stamped anythings featuring the colours 
LEMON AND LIME or TERRACOTTA AND TURQUOISE.
You can pick which colour scheme you want to use.  You can include black and white and a small splash of other colours if you must, but the main colours should be obvious.
Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project.  A small stamped sentiment in a sea of die cuts or digi images will not qualify to win the prize and you may be deleted!!!!  Bwahahhaaahaha. 

 

Please read the updated Challenge Rules to ensure your entries qualify to win this month's prize!

You are welcome to play in our Challenges using rubber stamp images from any company but if you use any of our Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps...we love it when you do...then you could win a bigger prize in our random prize drawing.  All winners get our snazzy Challenge Winner's Badge to proudly display on their blogs!

If you don't have a blog then no prob, you can still play in our challenges by sharing your projects from public photo sharing sites which includes our Facebook Company Pages for Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda.  Please include our Challenge info and the link back to our challenge in your photo's description!  As long as the privacy setting for your photo is public you're good to go.  See, it's so easy to join the fun!  FYI, you can't link up projects shared in closed Facebook groups!

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Gail here today with some more Lemon and Lime inspiration.  This month we are asking you to pick a colour scheme between Lemon and Lime or Turquoise and Terracotta.   The choice is yours!  Your anything should feature mostly your two chosen colours and don't forget to stamp.

I've kept it simple and used the lovely Jester Square by Carmen's Veranda coloured with green and yellow distress watercolouring.  I stamped the Happy Birthday and Do I smell cake? from Lost Coast Designs Party Words using Prickly Pear archival ink.

 

Grab your stamps and pick your colour scheme and join the fun.   We give a real rubber stamp prize to our randomly picked winner, but we do need at least 20 entries to award the prize, so tell your friends and get stamping!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Colour Challenge: Art Journal Page ,Magic'.

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 everyone! Liesbeth here again, today I made a journal page for our Colour Challenge. I coloured an old book page with gesso and a leave and also with Terra cotta and turqoise inks and stamped The Victoriana stamps, the text from Dream, Magic, Love and pieces of the Flagstone Background with black ink. To finish the page I used white gel pen, bleach and charcoal. I glued the page in one of my altered books. 

Hope you like this idea and join us with a colourful piece of art! See you next time,

Liesbeth XX
