Stars That Glitter

Good morning and a very happy Tuesday. Today we have a fun new challenge starting over at Lost Coast Designs, and it's to make a tag!

I started by inking my tag with some distress inks.

And then stamped one of my favourite stamps the Birds Collage Background from Carmen's Veranda.

Then I just added colour to certain parts with my Posca pens.

This is my lovely stamp, Birds Collage Background.

This is a really fun challenge, so please join in for the chance to win some Lost Coast $'s.

Take care and have a very happy week, xx

Nevermore!

Good morning and a very happy Sunday, welcome to Lost Coast Design's annual 31 Days of Halloween!

I started by embossing a piece of black card in a 3D embossing folder, and then colouring with gilding waxes.

2 of the 3 Birds have been stamped, embossed, and cut out.

These are my lovely stamps, I've used

3 Birds and

On Top Of The World

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday. Today I'm sharing my second project for our 'Things With Wings' challenge over at Lost Coast Designs.

I started by stamping on black card and embossing with white embossing powder.

Then I dabbed different colours of Stazon over the top and wiped off any excess with an old towel.

Isn't this a beautiful stamp? She's been coloured with watercolour pens and then cut out.

And now she's on top of the world!

These are my fabulous stamps. I've used

Today's Mood!

 Good morning and a very happy Tuesday! Our latest challenge over at Lost Coast Designs is to use at least 3 stamps. This is a really easy one for me as I always use loads of stamps - I just LOVE putting them all away again lol.

I started by making quite a bright background using distress inks, stencils, and lots of stamps and white embossing powder.

Then I nabbed a spot for my sentiment. It was also somewhere for my clown to stand on!

And these are my fun images! I love Pope Clown, he really looks like he knows how to have a good time!

Yep, I've definitely used at least 3 stamps lol. I've used

License Plate Alphabet

Pope Clown

Big Nose Clown

Pieces of Caligraphy

Elf With Star (Carmen's Veranda)

Today's Good Mood ' Carmen's Veranda)

And we're all done!

I must admit I do like this one, and I've already got someone in mind for it.

I hope you join in with our challenge, and be sure to use at least 3 stamps.

Take care and have a very happy week xx

Born To Stand Out

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday! Today I'm happy to be sharing my second project for our silhouette challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, and this time it's a page in my hand made Lost Coast album.

 

I started by roughly inking a background on some card.

Then I added some white acrylic stars using my homemade star stencils.

Then I added some more stencilling using pastel coloured paints.

Then lots of stamping. I've used my lovely ballerina, and also the silhouette angel around the sides.

And this is how she looks when she's added to my album. Where else could you get to see a silhouette ballerina next to Carmen Mooranda!

These are the lovely stamps, I've used;

Silhouette Angel

Ballerina With Stars

Born To Stand Out

I hope that you like this, and also that you join in with our fun challenge.

Have a great weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

It's All About The Background!

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for our Backgrounds In Focus challenge at Lost Coast Designs, and I think this one holds the record for the most stamps used by me on a card lol.

I've been seeing lots of retiform lately, with some beautiful examples from my blogging friend Angela (Felix The Crafty Cat). I must admit, I'd no idea how it was done, but I knew that I liked it. So, much YouTube watching later I decided to give it a go!

I made my grid with a blue distress ink and a blender.

Then I added some stamping - LOTS of stamping. I really like how these two colours look together.

I told you I used a lot of stamps!

These are the ones that I've used;

Pieces of Caligraphy

Leonardo Accessories

Steampunk Fly Girl

Steampunk Icarus

Steampunk Pony

Misc Words

CV Leonardo Man

There's still lots of time to join in with our challenge, so please get stamping and remember to keep the Background In Focus.

I'm entering my card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Happy Birthday challenge.

Take care, and thanks so much for looking x

A Gnomy Christmas

Good morning and a very happy Thursday!

Today I'm sharing the second of my Christmas cards made for our Christmas In July challenge at Lost Coast Designs.

I started by making the layers for my background using patterned papers.

This gnomey Santa is so cute, and I would be lost without my misc words stamp.

I've added lots of snow and glitter. If you can't use glitter for Christmas when can you!

These are my lovely stamps, and they can be found here;

Gnome Santa With Toys

Mushroom House

Misc Words 

There's still time to join in with us over on the portal, so please get stamping!

Have a wonderful day, and thanks so much for looking x

 

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

 Good morning and a very happy Friday.

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for the Lost Coast Designs 'Christmas In July' challenge.

I started by making an alcohol ink background on yupo paper, but then I've proceeded to cover it all up!

There's also torn vellum, kraft card, and die cut music paper in the background.

I think this stamp is beautiful! I stamped it in full in blue for the background, and then again in brown for the angelic trio.

The lovely stamps can be found here

Herald Angels
