You Talkin' To ME!

 Good morning and a very happy Wednesday. Today I'm sharing my second project for the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity 'Tweet This' challenge. 

It's an octagonal card that I've made for my male cousin (phew one guy card done for this year).

I started by die cutting my top card then stamping and masking my two birds.

Then I inked up the card using distress inks and flicked water.

I stamped the Circles Background on another piece of card, coloured some circles and cut them out.

These are some of my favourite Lost Coast stamps.

Doodle Circles

Bird Bones

Feather Bird

To finish off I stuck down the circles and cut a card blank and sewed it all together.

There is still a couple of days to get involved in the challenge so please check out the portal for lots of inspiration.

Have a wonderful day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

La Mer

 Good morning and a very happy Tuesday. Today I'm back at the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity with my second project for our Under The Sea challenge and this time I've made a journal page.

I started by making a gelli plate background on a page. When I've done a few more I'll put them back in the book. It's not quite the shade that I wanted but I really like the white bubbles so I'm going with it!

Next, I did some stencilling and also put in the Steampunk Pony as I didn't want to cut out the numbers.

Then I stamped my hard-working fish on scraps of gelli prints.

Luckily my Bird Bones  jockey doesn't weigh much, and as Steampunk Pony is on wheels the fish can pull him quite easily!

I stamped the pony onto another gelli scrap, cut him out, saddled him up, and we're good to go, it's the Grand National under the sea!

I hope you like my fun/weird/slightly bonkers piece and that you join in with our challenge. As always there's the chance to win some Lost Coast dollars.

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