Tweet This for Lost Coast Designs

 Good morning  and a very happy Tuesday! The 15th is always a new challenge day over at the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity and this time the fun theme is Tweet This!

I started with a piece of glossy card, some Stazon inks, and some blending sponges.

When I'd finished sponging my colours I filled in the gaps with yellow as this went with all the colours I'd used. Take no notice of the brown blob on the bottom right as this will be cut off!

Then I put my card on my stamping platform to make sure I got a good image.

These are my lovely stamps. I've used 

Miscellaneous Words and

Birds Collage Background (Carmen's Veranda)

I hope you like this, and join in with our challenge. Just show us your stamped birds to be in with a chance to win some Lost Coast dollars.

Have a very happy day whatever you're doing, and thanks so much for looking x

It's A Wrap!

Good morning and a very happy Thursday - it's nearly the weekend yay!

Today I'm over at the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity, and for my second project for our 'It's A Wrap' project I made another gift bag. (In fact, I made this one first ) but this time I've stamped directly onto the bag.

 I started with a regular craft bag (these are so strong so perfect for presents) 

I began by splattering with watered down acrylic, then stamped the lovely Megans's Christmas Bird and Christmas Lights. The lights have been coloured with Posca pens, and the bird with Prisma pencils. I did get a bit carried away with the red pencil, but a Christmas Robin needs to be red right?

I'd be lost without my Misc Words, these two just finish off my bag perfectly.

These are the stamps that I used (I told you that I splattered paint)

Megan's Christmas Bird

Misc Words  and Carmen's Veranda

Christmas Lights

I hope you like it, and that you join in with our challenge this month. 

Take care and have a very happy day x

Bagged and Tagged for Lost Coast Designs

 Good morning and a very happy Monday! It's the start of a new challenge today at Lost Coast Designs, which is 'It's A Wrap' I've made a gift bag and tag (eventually)

I started with just short of an A3 piece of tea-bag paper and added some brushos. At this point I wanted to make a sheet of wrapping paper.

Then I stamped the lovely Mistletoe Goth. I tried to place her face in the lighter areas - it didn't always work lol.

Then I stamped some Christmas words from my favourite Misc Words stamp. I coloured her with my Prisma pencils and added touches of glitter.

Very icy, brrrrrr. 

At this point I decided that I probably wouldn't use it as wrapping paper, so I added a piece to a gift bag and made a matching tag.

These are the Lost Coast stamps that I used;

Mistletoe Goth

Misc Words

I hope that you like it, and that you join in with our challenge - please remember that we are a stamping challenge so no digi images!

Have a very happy week, and thanks so much for looking x

You should know by now where the sentiment has come from, yep good old Miscellaneous Words! If you don't have this stamp yet you really NEED it!
All the paints are from the DecoArt Media Line.
As always check out the inspiration over on the Portal and I'll see you soon. I should warn you I'll be bringing my spooooooky side!

I'm also entering this into the Happy Little Stampers  Mixed Media 'Texture' challenge.

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