#185 "Let us entertain you" challenge. Clowns

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi everybody, Riet here with 2 cards. 

Today 2 cards for the challenge,

because I think both clowns really belong together.

Let me explain to you how these cards are made.

 I used these stamps:

Card #1

Pope clown

Ledger 

Brushstrokes

Card #2

Big nose clown

Brush strokes

Pieces of calligraphy

Victoriana

Furthermore I used:

Black stazon

Distress oxide.

Twisted citron,

Lucky clover,

Cracked pistaschio,

Musterd seed,

Wild honey,

Crackling campfire,

Barn door.

Derwent colorsoft pencils.

Take two pieces of paper measuring 20x20cm.

One for the orange background and one for the green.

We apply the colors with a brayer.

Starting with the light colors and working your way to the dark colors.

Be careful with the dark colors, apply small amounts.

With the sheet brush strokes, we now randomly stamp

 the orange tones on the green background.

And with the green tones on the orange background.

While we let this dry, we stamp the two clowns and color them.

When they ar colored you can cut them out.

Now choose a nice piece of background and cut it to 8.5cm x 8.5cm.

Now cut a piece of white cardstock measuring 12.5 x 12.5 cm.

And a double of 15 X 15cm.

We put the double card a side for a while.

Place the background on the white 12.5 x 12.5

Stamp the top left corner and bottom right corner,

 with the ledger stamp and the black stazon.

Repeat this with stamps from the Brush strokes sheet.

Use a stamping tool for this.

Now it looks like this.

Matt with a black cardstock with a 2mm edge.

Do the same with the second white card and glue them together.

Now use foam tape to stick the clowns on.

Now the card is ready.

The team would love to see your artwork in the LCD/CV challenge.

You can also participate with other brands of stamps.

You also have a chance to win new stamps, so join the challenge.

I've used Lost Coast Designs Silhouette Lady with Umbrella, who makes me think of Mary Poppins, and what's more entertaining than a lady flying in on an umbrella.  She has obviously arrived and is standing within the Arches and Door Background.  Then I added the Thinking Of You from the Party Words set.

Let's Dance

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Good afternoon, Cathy here with a card for you.

Stamps Used:

Brush strokes

Corner swirl 

Butterflies set

Thin dancer

I started with a pink cardstock base and stamped the splat from the Brush strokes in pink distress ink. I then took a butterfly from the Butterflies set and stamped that with pink distress oxide ink. Lastly, I stamped Corner swirl in drown distress oxide ink. That is how I made the background for my card. 

Next, I took a scrap pink dot pattern paper and added to the front of the card. I edged the whole card with the brown oxide ink. 

Then I stamped Thin dancer in the middle of the card and added saying and some washi tape and that is the card.

You can join the challenge here.

 I've used Carmen's Veranda's Alfred Hitchcock standing and combined it with sentiments and a tonic diecut.

I decided to keep everything black and white so I cut the film die cut from white card.  Then I used Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background stamp and black ink to add texture.  I mounted it on a black card base.

I set back in the white pieces in the film strip and stamped the sentiments.  I stamped Alfred on white card with black ink, fussy cut and added him to my card.
