Joy & Cheer

 Good morning, I'm here with a festive arch for you today using Lost Coast stamps.

Stamps Used:

small snowflake set

pieces of calligraphy 

gnome

I stated out by die cutting 2 arches. 1 in black and 1 in white. I took a stencil and some red distress ink and added to each corner. I then did a lighter go through over the rest of the arch. (I was cleaning the stencil)

Next, I stamped a colored the gnome with copic markers. Then I cut him out. I stamped a snowflake and some words around the arch.

I ripped some green snowflake paper to add in the middle and then I added the cut-out gnome and a little saying.

Come join the Festive fun challenge.

Man Arch

So over at Lost Coast Portal the challenge is Boys, Boys, Boys (or men) Today I made a arch for this.

 Frist off  I grabbed some Tim Holtz paper to make the arch. Then I started looking through my stash of bits and piece of paper stash and grabbed a few things that I thought would work well together.

So I started off with stamping my background. I used ATC Gothic Text and Grunge Diamond Background. I would say these are my go to stamps to start a background layer. Next I edged the arch with brown ink. Grunge it up. Then I started on my paper stash. I figured out how I wanted it on the arch and then I started inking the edges and tearing the paper them gluing all in place.

Then I stamped Silhouette Man with Cane on a scrap piece of white cardstock and cut out. Edged the sides with black marker so you don't see the white. Then I glued him in place. Then I stamped the Numbers Border on tissue paper and glued that on.As I was looking at it I felt it still needed something so I  added a word sticker.

Please stop in and join the challenge.

Hope to see you there.
