A card for the Lost Coast Designs "Hard As Stone" Challenge going until thru the end of August.

Using the Goth Shrine stamp and the Daisy Flourish stamps, both from Lost Coast Designs.

MECHANICAL HORSE

This is a card I made for the Lost Coast Design Challenge:  Anything Goes.

I made this using the Steampunk Pony stamp from Lost Coast Designs.

I had on hand some background papers I had made by collaging bits of vintage papers then stenciling over them.  I stamped the Pony with black ink onto one of these background papers then roughly tore around the edges, creating a square.  I attached two brass gears with brads and a black elastic as shown, then layered this with black and rust papers.

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.
