It's a Party !

It's that time of year ... the season of the (dreaded !) Christmas party ...

This gorgeous gal from the Mini Manga set by Lost Coast Designs is certainly looking the part, heading out for the first party of the season :

The girl is stamped and colored with alcohol markers, then her dress and boots are clear embossed. She has been fussy cut.

The gorgeously rich background is made with Nuance powders by Magenta, and when it was dry, I stamped 'It's a Party!' from Party Words by Lost Coast Designs and embossed them in white. I added a little red washi tape and matted the ATC front onto red card stock.

Hugs and best wishes for the season, Nikki x

Hello Lost Coasters!

Guess where I am today...I'm having a blast at the Original Rubber Stamp convention in Long Beach California hanging out at the Lost Coast Designs booth, YAY :0)

 

It's my turn to share some DT inspiration today and I've got a few more projects to show you.  I made these for the 31 Days of Halloween blog hop we participated in over on our Lost Coast Portal to Creativity event and challenge blog in October.
 

Tomorrow is also the finale of our Day of the Dead celebrations and the last day to enter your DOTD projects in our contest HERE!  Pop on over and follow us because we host loads of fun events and challenges each month for you to play in and win fabulous prizes!

My 1st project today is paying homage to the Master of Horror, Alfred Hitchcock and his movie classic, The Birds!  I typed up sections of the attack scenes from The Bird's screenplay to create the background for this altered project.  The movie was filmed in black and white so I only used black ink for all my stamping and distressing.  For more info and photos see my LCPtC post HERE!
