Hi it's Sue here with my second clean and simple project. It's a little bit different from the first one, and maybe not for the purists, but I like it!

This is made with the Carmen's Veranda Birds Collage Background and Distress Ink. I really like this stamp, and will be using it A LOT!

Doggy Dreams More

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.  Gail here today with some more inspiration for the CAS challenge running here at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  The linky closes at midnight 30th November so get out your stamps and inks, but remember to keep it clean and simple.

I stamped and embossed Lost Coast Designs Drake Dog and coloured him with neon gel pens and distress inks.  I masked him and stamped the Domino's Border and the Carmen's Veranda sentiment in dark blue dye ink, and the Face with Feathers with blue chalk ink.  That dog is just so cool and he knows it!!

In case you haven't seen, there is a Black Friday Sale over at Lost Coast Designs and you can save 20% on your whole order (before shipping) until midnight PST Sunday November 26th, so hop over and shop yourself a bargain.  Put Black Friday in the comment area of your order to receive the discount.  And don't forget to add your CAS creations to the challenge.  If the linky is not playing then just leave your link in the comments and we will add it to the draw to win Lost Coast dollars.

Thanks for visiting.  Hugz

Mannequin CAS

Cathy here with a CAS card.

 Okay this one went much better. It took me only one time to do this card.  I did use painters tape with this one and I used Distress Oxide ink to make the strip. I taped a strip on white cardstock and I took 3 colors of Oxide ink and colored the background inside the strip. I then took some water and sprayed it on the ink to make the spots.
Next I stamped the corner flourish with a gray ink before I removed the painters tape..

Then I stamped the mannequin stamp at the bottom with black ink.

Clean and Simple: Turquoise 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!

Hi all - Laurie here for another go at the CAS challenge.  I used one of the new fab stamps from Lost Coast Designs - Teri Peacock.  So many possibilities with this stamp and so many colors you could make your peacock.  I stamped mine with black ink onto white card stock.  Using Copic Sketch markers in shades of turquoise and purple, I colored in my peacock.  Then trimmed up my edges and layered it with turquoise and white.  So this makes a pretty card and is very simple to make.
Be sure to check out the raft of new stamps at the Lost Coast Designs website and don't forget to make your own CAS project and enter it here to win some free stamps!

Why Fit In -Clean and Simple

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 it's Sue here with my first Clean and Simple piece. Now I'm the first to admit I find C&S terrifying, I'm more of a painty and messy type crafter. But She Who Must Be Obeyed - Marilyn (just kidding Marilyn) :-)  said clean and simple, so here it is.

Agh all that white space, it's more scary than the 31 Days of Halloween!
This is a strip of a Gelli plate background, and the  lovely Flower Flourish.
The sentiment is the Carmen's Veranda clear stamp Born To Stand Out

I hope you join in with our challenge, unless it scares you too, in which case Man Up and join in anyway!

Have a great week, and thanks very much for looking x
