Three Monkeys

A card made for the Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity mid-July challenge:  "No Body Here"

For this card I used the Three Monkeys stamp from Lost Coast Designs.  I stamped the monkeys onto white paper, colored them with markers, and cut them out.  I die cut two sets of circles to layer, one out of brown card stock and the other from some light brown card stock.  I stamped some script with black ink using one of the ATC Set, Misc 6 stamps onto the lighter, smaller circles and layered them with the larger brown circles, then affixed my monkeys stop the circles as shown.  I then attached these to the center of my card front atop a background paper I had on hand made with acrylic paints and some stencils.  That was layered with a dark brown panel.  I created my words on my computer, printed them out and colored the backgrounds then affixed as shown.

Round and Round

Card made for the Lost Coast Designs bi-monthly challenge with the theme:  Round and Round.

Made with the Doodle Circles stamp and the Steampunk bicycle Lady stamp, both from Lost Coast Designs, and the My Age is Appropriate clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda.

I Want to Ride My Bicycle

This card was created for the Lost Coast Designs Portal to Creativity "Round and Round" challenge, running from June 15th to the 30th.

I used the Doodle Circles background stamp and the Steampunk Bicycle Lady stamp, both from Lost Coast Designs.

The sentiment is one of Carmen's Veranda clear stamps: Inappropriate Behavior.

Three Butterflies

Here are 3 ATCs I made for the current Lost Coast Designs Challenge:  Mini Me.  The object of the challenge is to create something smaller than a card - an ATC, an inchie, a tag., etc.

For these three ATCs I used the ATC Set Text #1 and the Butterflies Set.  Backgrounds were created 

using various stencils and distress inks.  Butterflies were colored with Copic markers.
