Watchful Raven

Hello all I'm here with a Lost Coast Portal blog challenge. Tweet this is what it is called.

I started out with a A2 size white cardstock and grabbed some of my Distress Oxide inks. I did the smooching technique with the inks.

Next I used the Goth Raven stamp and stamped it out on white cardstock. I stamped the branch 2 more times to give the branch longer area to go off the card.  I colored it in with Copic markers. Then I glued a eye to the raven. Why? Because he sees all the other birds flying around him.

 Next I used the flying birds background stamp.  The stamp is very large. So I cut one of the birds from the corner of the stamp so I could have a single stamp.  You can't even tell it is missing when you stamp the whole background. I used that single stamp and stamped around the Goth Raven. Then I glued the raven to the front and there we have the card I made.

I hope to see what you all come up with this  Tweet This Challenge.

Do Not Enter

Hello all. I'm here with a Blank Page Muse challenge.  Emboss any way.

I started out with some brown cardstock and I used Tim Holtz 3D embossing woodgrain fades.

Next I used Tim Holtz planks die and cut blanks of wood out from the embossed cardstock.

I then added distress inks around the edges to make them more darker in color.

Here is a closer look at one of them.

I then started working on my background. I took another Tim Holtz embossing fades (brick wall) and some gray cardstock and some distress ink colors and made a background.

Next you start building a boarded up wall/window with your wood embossed planks.  I used mini brads 'nails' to hold the planks in place.

 On a white scrap piece of paper I stamped the corner spider web from Halloween on a shelf set.  It was to bright on this card so I added some gray and black distress ink to it to make it darker. Then I added the spider from that same stamp set to the middle of the web.

 Then on some more scrap white cardstock I stamped Silhouette style bare tree. I fussy cut out some parts of the tree because I wanted it to look like it was getting overgrown with the tree branches growing out from the behind the wood planks.

Lastly I add the Do Not Enter stamp to the front.

Here is the card once again all finished .

Come all the fun for Blank Page Muse here

Party ATC

There are new stamps over at Blank Page Muse.  Here is a ATC I made with one of the new sets.

Yellow Buddha tag

Hello all over at  Lost Coast Designs Portal blog the challenge is Yellow and Orange. I must say this was a tuff one for me.

 This is what I came up with. A yellow and orange Buddha tag. I started off by painting the tag with a soft yellow and a soft orange. I set aside to dry.

As that was drying I got out a die and cut out some hanging vines from yellow cardstock and I add some orange distress ink to it.

 After the tag was dry I took out  my  Asian Set of stamps. I started stamping the words randomly over the tag in orange and yellow distress ink.

Next I took the bamboo stamp from that set and stamped it on the bottom of the tag with orange distress ink.

Then I stamped the Buddha with orange distress ink again from that same stamp set on the same yellow cardstock that I used for the vine die. Cut out the Buddha and added it to the bottom the I added the vines to the top and that is my yellow and orange tag for this challenge.

 

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this Challenge.
