Yesterday I shared my Day 1 project and today for Day 3, I'm sharing my 2nd Art Nouveau inspired card featuring Lost Coast Designs Naughty Can Be Nice. 

Alphonse Mucha is my favourite Art Nouveau artist and we have a nice selection of stamps based on his wonderful paintings in our Art Nouvea and Art Deco Women section!

The background was created solely with Nuance Powders by Magenta, now available in the LCD store!  I used bright yellow, golden yellow, orange and red powders and the image was stamped with onyx black Versafine ink.  

 I used dies to cut out all the components in various colour coordinating cardstocks.  The leafy flourish is by Cheery Lynn and the rest are Spellbinders.  Everything was adhered with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.  I used 2 tiny white button brads on the flowers and they were adhered with glue dots.  I also used Diamond Stickles glitter glue for a touch of yummy sparkle.

Thanks for visiting with me today, I hope I've inspired you to create with your feminine themed stamps and hopefully you've seen some Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps you need in your stash as well...got to do my enabler part right LOL!

Before you go don't forget to play in our CRACKED CRITTERS SHOWCASE event for the chance to win the $10 prize, Mr Linky closes at midnight PST on May 7th!

Happy Stamping!

I kicked off the event on Tuesday with an Art Nouveau inspired card featuring Lost Coast Designs Shell Girl.

Alphonse Mucha is my favourite Art Nouveau artist and we have a nice selection of stamps based on his wonderful paintings in our Art Nouvea and Art Deco Women section!

"Spring Lily" Easter card

Happy Easter Everyone!

Today I'm sharing the Easter card I made for my Mom which is also my DT inspiration for our new Lost Coast Designs challenge, #11 Spring, which started today over at our Lost Coaster's Review blog!

I used Lost Coast Designs "Lily" Art Nouveau stamp which is one of my fave art movements.  I stamped her with black Memento ink onto Neenah cardstock and colored her with Copics in shades of green with metallic gold detail on all her jewelry pieces.  I added a touch of sparkly dimension with a Vive Pearl pen in Transparent Magic White to her headwear as well as a tiny green self-adhesive pearl.  The edges were distressed and coloured in black with metallic gold highlights.  

I matted the image onto patterned paper and then on a dark olive green panel embossed with a floral embossing folder by Cuttlebug.  All the mats were cut with my Perfect Paper Crafting Perfect Layers tools, which are available as full length rulers and also in mini versions.  Click on my PPC Ambassadors link and get 10% off your entire Perfect Paper Crafting order with my code LBrunton!
All were adhered to a folded blank white card with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.

To complete my Mom's card I added more self-adhesive green pearls, attached the ribbon with tiny gold brads and adhered the bow with a glue dot.  I added the yellow paper rose which both compliments the design and adds an extra splash of colour and the leaves I made myself.  The Recollections cardboard butterfly was the finishing touch which I coloured with a green Copic to give the brown cardboard a greenish tinge.

Come and join our monthly Lost Coast Designs challenges where you can use either Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps (which is our sister stamp line) for the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to spend at either company!

Happy Stamping!
