A challenge about birds, at lost coast designs.

 Hello, today I stamped a wooden house, made from leftover wood.

It's not hard to do if your wood isn't too ruff.

Its my take on the challenge.

I used:

Lost Coast Designs, Annie,

Crows border,

Pieces of calligraphy,

Carmens Veranda, Once a badass.

Distress ink, Pumice stone

Versafine onyx black.

How I made it.

I started with Distressink Pumice stone.

Slide the pad from the outside to the inside over the wood.

Stamp the girl Annie with Versafine black ink.

And the badass text at the bottom right.

I cut off a crow from the crow border. And stamped it on the text.

I stamped text here and there with the smallest stamp from the Pieces of calligraphy sheet.

And that was it, simple and fast.

This way you can quickly make a very nice gift for someone.

Or a piece of decoration in your home. 

It would be so much fun if you took part in the challenge.

And you know what? You can even participate with stamps from other brands.

Please read the rules so that you can qualify for a prize. 

Hope to see you at the challenge.

Spring has Sprung challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

Wonderful, spring is finally here.

We have a nice spring challenge.

I made you a birdhouse with the Los Coast Designs stamp "Megans Christmas Bird".

Well you will think, but isn't that a Christmas stamp?

That is true, but with some adjustments you can change that.

I simply replaced the lights with blossom flowers.

So you see that you can use a stamp for several things. 

I Used:

LCD Megan's christmas bird.

LCD crackle background.

Folkart acrylic paint, toasted vanilla.

A dark brown water-based pencil, i used Derwent inktense.

Soft pink paper.

Soft green, brown and dark green paper.

colored pencils.

Distress oxide Saltwater taffy, Wilted violet and Dusty concord.

Ink on 3 pad.

Enn cutting pliers for small flowers.

Dies of a branch and leaves and a egg.

A green and purple fine line marker.

Stazon Timber brown.

White acrylic paint to splatter.

Dryed green moss.

To start, stamp Megan's christmas bird with the Ink on 3.

Color the bird as you like or as the example.

Cut out the bird and branches, but you can cut back part of the lamp.

We will glue the flowers on that later.

We are now going to paint the house, it is a nice soft yellow color that looks a bit old.

When the paint is dry, we draw lines with the dark brown inktense pencil.

These should be the wooden planks.

Go over the lines with a damp brush of water to blur them slightly.

With the crackle background,

 we stamp here and there a piece of the stamp with Stazon Timber Brown.

Now we die cut the large branch from brown paper.

We also die cut the small leaves with light and dark green.

And dont fotget the little pink blossoms. 

Use the green fineliner to draw the veins on the leaves.

And the purple fineliner for the flowers.

Glue the flowers and leaves on the branches.

Now for the egg.

Color a piece of paper with the Distress oxide Salt water taffee.

Add a layer with the wilted violet.

But smudge this a bit.

Now stamp over it with the crackle background.

Die cut now with the egg shape die.

Make the edge of the egg darker with the Distress oxide Dusty concord.

Splatter some white paint over the egg.

You can now glue everything in place.

Don't forget to add a bit of moss as a nest.

I love the spring look this little house has.

Now for the challenge, the team hopes you will join.

We are curious what you make for beautiful spring cards,

 or tags or something completely different.

It's entirely up to you, as long as it's stamped on it.

#140 Tweet this, challenge at Lost Coast Designs.

Hello dear bloggers, 

Today I worked on a large scale, an A4 21cmx30cm.

I think the crows are fantastic, they are so mysterious.

I have used various stamps.

Crow border

Bird on bike.

Raven with tree branches.

Birds in trees.

Pieces of calligraphy.

Stazon black

Distress oxide wilted violet, mermaid lagoon and black soot.

6inch gelli plate round and a round mini gelli plate.

Water resistent fineliner.

Dutch doobadoo stencil bubbles.

Memento tuxido black

And this how I made it.

I started by smearing the large gelli plate with the distress oxides.

First go through these steps with 1 color and then repeat with the other colors.

I sprayed some water over it.

Turned the gelli plate over and used it as a stamp.

Stamp in the middle of the paper.

Look how beautiful that is, be careful when you do the step with the black.

It soon becomes too much black.

With the small gelli plate, repeat the same steps, only with 1 color.

Stamp the small circle right above and left below.

Take the Birds in trees stamp and the black Memento.

Print the stamp on the gelli plate (kiss technique),

 and then print the gelli plate on the small circles of distress oxide.

Now stamp with black the Bird on bike,

 and the long strip of letters from the pieces of calligraphy stamp sheet.

In the top left corner and bottom right corner,

I splattered some more ink.

I thought it was a bit too empty there.

I drew lines around the circles with the fineliner and did some scribbling.

Top left and bottom right I have stamped the pieces of calligraphy set.

And with the stencil I put circles divided in the two colors.

Finaly I stamped the Raven with tree branches in black ink.

And I cut 1 crow off the border stamp.

I stamped these here and there in the colored circles.

Because it is a large page, I glued it in my Art journal, to which I will write some texts later.

I hope you liked it and join our challenge.

You are welcome and you can even participate with other brands.

You probably have a stamp with a bird, so join the fun.

You can even win new stamps.

 

New challenge to start the new year. Challenge #113 something beginning with B.

                         Hi everybody, first I wish all my visitors a very happy and healthy 2021.

This is my first Lost Coast Designs post for the new challenge.

And its all about the letter B.

So I made this slimline card with the big raven with tree branches stamp.

This stamp is a big one with a height of 3.25 inch.

Love that, I also used the moonface, from the sheet Just faces.

 

 I first sponged with distress oxide, started at the bottum of the card with Musterd seed.

I worked my way up with spiced marmelade, barn door and the last, aged mahogany.

 I stamped the raven with Versamark clear and black glitter embossing powder.

Love that effect on the raven.

I took my black ink and painted the branches with a paint brush.

But for the smaller branches I used an old ink pen.

I stamped the moonface with black stazon.

Now I wanted to fade out the moon a bit, so I went over it with a blending tool and aged mahogany.

It gives it a bit of a misterious look.

 

 I did the same at the bottom of the card.

I hope you liked this little tutorial.

I would love to see what you make for the B challenge.

Masking tape.

I stamped the 4 raven stamp In the middle of the cardstock.

mask it and stamped over it with the 4th dimention stamp.

When the stazon is dry you can start coloring with the markers.

I used watercolor based markers.

If you want to color with alcohol based markers, then dont use stazon. 

Then use Memento.

Now the checker board frame.

Stamp it 4 times with black on white paper.

Cut to fit around the card, diagonally in the corners.

If it doesn´t fit perfectly, don´t worry.

There will be a victoriana element over it. 

So you wont see any of that later.

Stamp 4 of the smallest victoriana elements,

color and cut them out.

Now glue everything together.

Lost Coast designs challenge #101 Background forward.

I really had to think about this card, making the background the star isn't that easy.

I am not used to that.

But I just like to work with my distress micro glaze, so of we go.

Stamps: LCD Birdsin trees, CV Moon child.

Distress glaze, distressink spun sugar, victorian velvet, gathered twigs.

Take a little spung and aply the glaze on to the stamp and stamp it on a piece of paper that is 5cm or 2 inch longer than the stamp.

Start sponging the bottem with spun sugar, work your way up with victorian velvet. And at the top gathered twigs. Its so magical to see the birds and trees show up, just love it.

I tore the bottom of the card and distresst it with gathered twigs and stampt the moon child stamp. Matt the card with a off white cardstock, and from the same cardstock I die cut the birds. Easy and swift.

So hurry up and join us in this exciting challenge.
