1833 card

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

Stamps Used:

skull with wreath

birds background

ATC postmark

I started by stamping the bird's background in black on a white card base. 

Then I stamped the ATC postmark in brown distress oxide ink randomly on the background. I then edged the whole card with the same brown ink.

I took a black cardstock ATC and stamped and embossed the skull. I wrapped some twine around the bottom of the card and added a piece of ephemera, 
Lastly, I took some of the brown distress oxide ink added some water and I added some splatters to the whole card.

 

Embossed gnome card

 Good morning, I'm here with a fun card to make using Lost Coast stamp.

Stamp Used:

pointy hat gnome

I started out with embossing some white cardstock. I then flipped it over to use the debossed side of it. 

I used copic makers to color in all the leaves. What you can also do is color the cardstock with ink before you emboss it. Next you take a black or whatever dark color ink pad and swipe all over the top. Because you colored in the debossed image the black ink fills in the flat part. 

I then stamped and colored the gnome and cut him out. Of course, he had to have a mushroom or two next to him. 

I hope you will join in our gnome challenge.

Christmas colors(red&green) challenge.

 Good morning, today I have a card for you for the new challenge over at The Male Room blog. 

I started with taking a red piece of cardstock and stamped a grungy word background stamp in red ink on the background.

I then stamped some snowflakes around the edge Next; I stamped the deer right in the middle. After that I stamped smaller snowflakes around the red panel.

I then got a green card base and stamped the same grungy words on it; I put the red cardstock piece in the middle and added a saying that I embossed with white on black cardstock.

Bad Wolf

 Hello and good morning. Today we start a new challenge over at The Male Room blog. 

I started out with some Kraft cardstock and a 3D embossing folder of a brick wall. I took some distress inks and swiped them over the top of the embossed paper. I used a brown and red. I then took some black ink on an ink blender and added to some spots to make dirtier. 

Next, I stamped the TARDIS and colored it in with copic markers then cut out. I then glued it to the wall. 

Then I stamped bad wolf on the brick and made 'ink drips' from the words. I was trying to make it look like spray paint. 

I hope to see you join in the challenge.

Lastly added a saying to have Alferd Hitchcock stand on, and what better saying then The End for the ending of the 31 days of Halloween.

Sugar Plum Fairies

 Hello, I'm here with a card for you. 

Stamps Used:

small snowflake set 

thin dancer

So, I was going for sugar plum fairies dancing in your head. I guess I should have gone with a purple color to stamp the thin dancer but I picked blue. I then cut them out and set aside. 

Next, I stamped a snowflake from small snowflake set  with versa mark ink and used white embossing power. I then took a white gel pen and added white dots around the background. On some of the white dots I added some lines coming out of it.

I glued the sugar plum fairies on the card and added the saying to the bottom.

Snowflake gnome

Hello I'm here with a snowflake gnome card for you. 

Snowflake set

Pompom Gnome

I started off by painting the background with different colors of blue distress sprays. I put a few drops on my craftmat and dry brush it on. 

After that was dry I used sliver embossing and enbossed the Snowflake set . I layered it on to a blue shinny paper and added some snowflake diecuts. 

I then stamped and colored the Pompom Gnome with copic markers. Cut out and added to front. Layer it on the front of a white card.

I'm over at Lost Coast Blog today with a slimline card for you. 

Stamps used:

Cherry blossom

Asian set

For you today I have a slimline card. It's the new 'it' thing. Everyone is making them. It's a card that can fit in a business size envelope. 

I started out with some watercolor paper and some distress spray and distress oxide spray. I made a few backgrounds with this. I used one of them for the first card I shared with you. 

I then took the writing from the  Asian set and some water and stamped it on the background.  It took some of the background away and gave a ghost print. 

Next I took the Cherry blossom stamp and some black ink and stamped it on top. 

 I heat set that and mad sure everything was dry before I went on to the next step. I stamped the Buddha from the Asian set with some Versa mark ink and embossed it with gold embossing power. 

When that was done I made a card base and added the watercolor piece to it .

 Come join the fun here for this challenge.

Also the sale is still going on. 25 % off.
