Anything Goes challenge at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity

What a great way to start a challenge year at Lost Coast:
theme is Anything Goes, as long as there is stamping.

I did lots of stamping on my card,
I wanted to try how I'd manage to create a background
and stamp the main image straight on it... 
and this is how it turned out:


I've used color powders and H2O colors, inks, die cuts and sticker with the
CV's Klimt Kiss, LCD ATC Doodles Set and ATC Text Set 1 -stamps.

I'd like to enter to some challenges:
Ike's - Anything goes, with a twist of old/new
Moo-Mania - Love
Sketch Saturday - Sketch
Art Impression - New Technique
HLS - Watercolor

Cold, cold January

January is showing it's cold face in Finland,
and I must say - don't like it. But I do like the
way it makes nature look like.


I tried to capture the look of the frozen nature by using 
Lost Coast Designs beautiful Shrubbery stamp,
2 embossing powders and 3 different Distress Inks.

How did I do? Getting chills already? LOL

STAMPlorations Mixed Media challenge for January

The first Mixed Media challenge for the 2017
at STAMPlorations is here, :=)


The theme is always anything mixed media goes except a card 
and you must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project. 
And there is fabulous prizes:
- $10 gift certificate to the winner voted by the Mixed Media team
- $5 gift certificate each to the 2 top picks
- If there are 25 or more entries: 1 random winner of any 2 standard size stencils

We are having a really cold time here in Finland,
so it seems my creative side turns it to warm colors and sunny feelings.


I colored a page from STAMPlorations Coloring Book
with Coloursofts, die cut some tags out of it.
Then I used Dragonfly Waltz stencil, first with ink on the
background tags and then with a glittering paste 
on the front side tags.
I die cut Thanks and Smile dies twice, first from a foam and  then
from a cardboard and clued them together.

I'd like to enter to some challenges:
