AlteredPages Artsociates

Jean here to tell you about the fabulous company we have partnered with in July. Lost Coast was the first stamp company we added to our website.  The creative artistry and original designs have always been some of my favorites. Linda and her partner are always traveling the world to offer stamps at shows and events.  I'm not sure when they get time to sleep!  Please take time to review the stamps we offer and then visit their website too.    Whatever your style, you can find it at AlteredPages.com and Lost Coast Designs Stamps .  Thanks for visiting and remember,  share some kindness!

I have to say I am very very enchanted by Lost Coast Designs . So much so that I found an outlet in the UK where I could order them and have done so. I am so happy to be introduced to these beauties..... Thank you I just want to thank  Altered Pages  for partnering another awesome company.:) I am a happy girl. Now onto my project. I decided this time and unusually for me, to make a card. I wanted one that could be used for any occasion for male or female so here it is.

Hello again from Jen.  I have to say I love playing with my Lost Coast stamps!  The minute I saw this set all I could think of is Halloween. Now I will admit, these are probably not Halloween stamps but for me they are certainly strange enough to fit the theme. In my world, every day is Halloween. Have I mentioned I LOVE Halloween? You get the idea. So, I made some little tags to remind me just how much I love, well you know... These tags strung together, make a sweet hanging decoration but you could leave them separate and use them on gift or treat bags as well. Supplies: Tag blanks Decorative paper Adhesive Lost Coast stamps  AUD Creatures 2 Acrylic paint Ink pads Stickers from my stash Little Birdie flowers Ribbon My starting selection.. I have stamped the images on some kraft colored cardstock but you could do any color of cardstock or paper. As usual, I did not use everything pictured. I loosely cut out the images and trimmed them...

I am very thankful for Creative Arts. My life would be quiet empty and lacking color without art.  I felt this tag represents a flight of fancy.   The sketch (coloring collage sheet) moving from a coloring book look, to colored image to an actual "flower" is how my world is. I think many forget that everything was a "sketch" before it took shape and became "real".  I am so thankful to AlteredPages for allowing me to have this fun forum to express myself. I am also delighted to use the wonderful rubber stamps from Lost Coast Designs.  I used one of their Whimsical bird stamps but please check out their diverse catalog of  stamps.   Supplies used were: Gel Press Splash Inks brayer palette acrylic paints Black-eyed Susan handmade flowers Watercolor Pencils  Pan Pastels 3061 Coloring Flowers Collage sheet Random embossing folder for patterning with Gel Press Stencil with celestial elements Aleene's Glue Scissors Misce...
