 Good evening, I'm here with a late post from me. Sorry so late life got in the way of getting inky. I definitely did get inky with 2 cards for you tonight using lost coast stamps.

.

Stamps Uesd:

I started out making the background with the same colors. I used distress inks for this.

Then I stamped different stamps and ink colors on the 2 cards.

I started off by cutting a piece of heavy weight Krat cardstock in half. Mine was a half of a top folding A2 card base. So, half of that. I then punched the corners to make it look like a ticket. 

Next, I stamped the circles from the Brush strokes with pink distress oxide ink on both. I then stamped Travel stuff set and ATC misc. 6 set with the new distress oxide ink color. After that was done I edged them both with walnut distress ink and then scorched timber distress oxide ink and spritzed some water on it.
