31 Days of Halloween- Day 28

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, Cathy here with some ID cards for you.

Stamps Used:

Frank

Bride of Frank

small skeleton 

travel stuff set 

numbers border 

 Alfred Hitchcock Standing 

I started out by cutting cardstock to 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and coloring it with some distress ink. I stamped the ID from the travel stuff set and edged it with some dark brown distress ink. 

Next, I stamped the faces of Frank, Bride of Frank, small skeleton and  Alfred Hitchcock Standing.

I added some Halloween snippets. I then took the numbers border and stamped it in red on all of the cards. I also took the ID and stamped the seal in red off the side. 

In the travel stuff set there is another stamp that has a seal, and I stamped that on the other side. 

I did them in the same style so they would all go together. This is the only one I stamped the seals in orange to go with the Halloween snippets color.

You still have a few more days to join in the Halloween challenge.

31Days of Halloween, day 26 whirly wheel dancing skeletons.

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.

Today is my last Halloween entry for the

 Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps  Halloween challenge.

I made a whirly wheel card with dancing skeletons.

I just love this skull and bones background stamp from Carmens Veranda stamps.

And this is how to make the card.

I used.

Carmens veranda, skull and bones background

Carmens veranda , When witches go riding

Lost Coast Designs, Rustic checkerboard border

Lost Coast Designs, Dancing skeletons

Versafine onyx black

Distress Oxide crackling campfire andVillainous potion.

Black fineliner.

For the whirly wheel I used a die set, to assemble the card, you can look up a video on YT.

How to make the card.

I started by stamping the skull and bones background onto white paper with oxide villainous potion.

Now isn't this an awesome background stamp.

While the background is drying, we continue with the dancing skeletons.

We stamp these with Versafine onyx black.

Let them dry and then cut them out.

We make the mat 1/2 cm larger than the card on all sides.

Continue with the Distress Oxide crackling campfire and the rustic checkerboard border stamp.

Stamp the border 4 times.

Cut them to size and glue them onto the mat.

Mat this with a green mat and a black mat.

Stamp the last line of the text on a piece of paper left over from the border.

Assemble the card so that the dancing skeleton emerges from the top of the card.

Now it looks if the skeleton is dancing.

Stick the text and the larger skeleton onto the skull and bones background with foam tape.

And that's it, I hope you enjoyed it.

The challenge runs until October 31st.

So there's still time to participate and have a chance to win a prize.
