"Codex Atlanticus - Artifact #42" Art Card featuring Paper Weaved Border stamps by Lost Coast Designs

Howzit Everyone!

My fantasy scifi story continues from yesterday's project 'Portal To Atlantis' and I've got more fun uses for border stamps to share with you!

LSBD Log:  Day 31 - We have been exploring the strange ruins but its slow going with a lot of the chambers submerged under water but we are making some surprising discoveries.  Today's exciting find has made it all worth it - ref. catalogued artifact #42 the 'Codex Atlanticus'.  We have managed to translate a few sentences on the tablet depicting the Codex and believe it to be some kind of a cipher device but the meaning of the numbers and text on the right panel are still unknown .  The wealth of technology we are finding down here is astronomical...


I used the following Lost Coast Designs stamps on my fantasy art card:
Borders:  Tear Drops, Spiral, Wave, Antique Text, Tape Measure, Numbers and Bingo and the wonderful Steampunk Typewriter Girl image as the focal point of my card.

"Portal to Atlantis" Iris Fold Art Card featuring Lost Coast Designs Border Stamps at Blockheads Paper Arts

Howzit Bloggers!

I'm a huge fan of fantasy and Scifi and the stories about Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle have been firm favourites of mine since I was about 13years old!  So when it came to designing some projects to give you ideas for what you can do with border stamps by Lost Coast Designs I was immediately inspired by the borders that seemed to have the feeling of water and my art card story developed from there.   So come with me on my Creative Adventure and delve into the mystery...

LSBD Log:  Day 11 - A strange portal has finally been unearthed revealing a spiral staircase, with intricately detailed mosaic steps, leading down into mysterious watery depths.  Could this be it?  Have we finally found the lost civilization of Atlantis, here in this remote location of the Bermuda Triangle?  What will we find down there?  The expedition will head down the staircase at 5am...

I'm going to start off by giving you a sneak peek at a project I'm currently working on...the theme is Atlantis and that's all I'm saying for now so stay tuned to see what I'm up to ;0)

Home Made Perfect Pearls Mists

For my secret project I made my own faux marble background paper with home made Perfect Pearls mists and Distress Inks re-inkers.  I concocted a Perfect Pearls powder, Distress Ink re-inker and water potion in a Mini Mister spritzer bottle.  You can see in the right hand photo how glorious the shimmer is!

Perfect Pearls Peacock Butterfly Box and matching Gift Card

The majority of this project features Patina Perfect Pearls.  I stamped most of the images with Perfect Pearls medium and then dusted the images with pewter and gold Patina PP.  I added water to the blue and green Patina PP to make creamy paints which I used to paint the peacock feathers and butterfly.

Magic Metals - Faux Embossed Metal Square Domino Pendant

For this project I added blue and green Perfect Pearls to the molten silver embossing powder to create this stunning altered Square Domino Pendant.

Magic Metals - Faux Embossed Metal Peacock Feather Card

I used the Perfect Pearls blue and green Patina in the same way as the Square Domino Pendant but this time the embellishment is made with Grungeboard and used on a card.

"Proud of You" Art Deco Accordion Card

 I used pewter Patina Perfect Pearls and PP medium to decorate the black mat on the front of this fancy fold accordion card.

Numerology DominoART Card

I used pewter Patina Perfect Pearls in conjunction with a Crafter's Workshop Template to create the really cool Numbers collage on the left hand side of this card.

Painted Butterflies DominoART Card

 Now on this particular card I used interference Pearl Ex powders but you will get the exact same effect with Perfect Pearls Interference powders too!
 

"Dream" Steampunk Mini Book

I used gold Patina Perfect Pearls to give the Word Stamps on the pages of my mini book a bit of bling.

Thank you for visiting with me today, I hope you've enjoyed checking out all my Perfect Pearls projects!  I'm dashing off now to continue working on an Easter themed project which I hope to get finished in time to share with you tomorrow ;0)

Happy Stamping!
