Ticket To Ride

Good morning and a very happy Monday! It's the last few days of our fun Tag challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, and here's my second piece.

This time I started by making an inky background and stamping the License Plate Alpha Set.

I LOVE this sentiment, they are words to live by!

These are my fab stamps

Bird On Bike

There's still time to join in with us, so start stamping your tags!

Have a great week whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

Los Tres Caballeros

Good morning and a very happy Friday! I'm back with another project for the Lost Coast Designs 31 Days of Halloween event, and this time I'm sharing Los Tres Caballeros!

I started by inking up my background, then stamping Gargoyle and Gryphon and embossing in white. I also added some text from the Leonardo Accessories set. I added some colour with ink, but left the text in white.

Next, I stamped and coloured Taurus, and the words from Tres Caballeros.

These are my lovely stamps. I quite often chop my stamps up, which is why the words are separate from the images. Don't worry, if you want  Tres Caballeros it will come complete with the three men lol. I've used

Gryphon

Taurus

Gargoyle

Leonardo Accessories 

 Tres Caballeros

I hope you've already joined in with our fun challenge, but if not, there's still plenty of time.

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

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

Gryphon

Cityscape

Angel On World

Gargoyle

Cracked Grass and Sky 

I hope you like it, and that you join in with our challenge. Remember there a chance to win some Lost Coast $ for our lucky winner!

Take care and have a very happy day whatever you are doing 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

Misc Words

You can't beat a Christmas in July challenge, so please join in with us for the chance to win some Lost Coast $'s.

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

Made For Each Other!

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday! We have a fun new challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, and we would like you to Celebrate It! Think birthdays, anniversaries, you get the picture. I'm always a bit last minute when it comes to anniversary cards, so I thought that I would get one made in advance.

Ok, maybe it's not your traditional anniversary card, but I think I can guarantee that they won't get two the same!

I started by raiding my Halloween paper stash, and made my background. My apologies for this photo I didn't realise how bad it was 'till I had (thankfully) covered it up.

Next I cut my layers. I only had one sheet of each so a lot of 'gutting' went on.

And here's my happy couple, all dressed up for Date Night!

I stamped and printed my sentiments. I always print more than one, and in different sizes just in case I 

a) totally mess it up or

b) cut it out, matt it perfectly, and then lose it!

I've used

Frank

Bride of Frank 

Misc Words

I hope you like my card and join in with our fun challenge - we all need something to celebrate.

Have a very happy weekend whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

Over The Edge

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday! Today I'm over at Lost Coast Designs with the second of my cards for our funny/cute challenge. 

I started by cutting my layers for the card so that I knew how much room I had to play with. Then I stamped my Cat Border across the top and embossed in black.

I just love this cat! My first kitten was white so this just reminds me of her (it also makes it very easy to colour lol)

These are my lovely stamps, I've used

Large Peekaboo Kitty

Pawprints  Border

Flat Earth

Running Cats Border

I hope you join in with our fun (or cute) challenge. Please remember we are a stamping challenge so this must be the focus of your entry. Don't forget there are Lost Coast $'s to be won!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

Put The Lime In The Coconut

 Good morning and a very happy Saturday. Today I'm over at the Lost Coast Portal To Creativity with my project for our fun Tropical challenge.

I started by making my background on a piece of speciality card.

Then I stamped and coloured my fun Carmen's Veranda cow. I couldn't help but smile as I was colouring her in!

Then I added my typed sentiment to my dancing Mooranda's

These are my fun stamps. I've used

Doodle Circles and 

Carmen Mooranda

I hope you like her, and that you play along with our fun challenge. As always there are Lost Coast dollars to be won.

Have a very happy weekend whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x

The Serious Moonlight

 Good morning and a very happy Friday, it's nearly the weekend again! For my second project for Lost Coast's Under The Sea challenge, I've made a giant tag.

I started by making a gelli print background using my new Lavinia ink pads and Brusho's. The inks are wonderful, so juicy, I now need a full set lol.

I cut my tag using a die from a slimline card set. Then I stamped the bubbles border and embossed it in white.

I thought it looked nice, but a bit too clean so I decided to grunge it up a little. I dripped and sprayed some paints and dried off with my heat gun.

I liked it a lot better, but I really wished that I'd stamped the bubbles lengthways, so I started all over again lol. I used the spare one to die cut my moon and stars.

Next I stamped and cut out my Doodle Seahorses.

I love the way the paints have dripped and run.

These are my lovely stamps. I've used

Large Doodle Seahorse      and

Bubbles Border

I hope you like it and that you join in with us for the chance to win some Lost Coast $'s.

Take care and have a very happy weekend x

It's Sing Along Time!

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday!

It's time for a new challenge over at Lost Coast Designs, and this time around we are going Under The Sea!

No prizes for guessing where my inspiration came from. I don't think that I would be exaggerating if I said that I'd seen this film at least a hundred times!

Here are my lovely stamps! I've used

Spikey Fish

Anchor Fish

Large Doodle Seahorse

Fish and Heart Set

Well I hope you are all singing along now - you're welcome!

Please join in with us and show us your Under The Sea creations - it doesn't have to include a song lol.

Take care and enjoy your weekend, and thanks so much for looking x
