2 cards for 2 holidays

Hello Dear Friends:
Here Bibiana with 2 cards for 2 different holidays made with Lost Coast Designs Stamps...
These cards were made for the special events/challenges held at the "Lost Coast Portal to Creativity" Blog for LCD

And it is until now that I can publish both of them...
I made this first card for Halloween...event held on the month of October...
The background uses several hat stamps which can be used separate or as a background
and the main image is this silhouette fun flying witch...

The second card is for "Day of the Dead", celebrated this past November 2nd in Mexico and Central America, remembering our loved ones...

This fabulous skull traditionally is made out of sugar and placed in the altars...mine mimics a chocolate sugar skull!

and lots of flowers as all the tombs and altars are decorated for this special day in Mexico!

the challenge "day of the dead" by the way is still running all through the month of November, so do not forget to stop by the blog: "Portal of Creativity" and add your "Day of the Dead" creation using LCD stamps...

Thanks for stopping by today...

A Halloween Steampunk Men card

Hello my blogger Friends:

Here I am sharing with you a Halloween Steampunk card for men... using a "Steampunk men" image with a "Chess perspective background", paired with some dies ...

I used "Lost Coast Stamps Designs" Stamps in this card for my contribution as a design team member...card posted at the "Lost Coasters review blog"

Great card to give to a men for any occasion ...just change the sentiment and it can be used any time...

And a last Note/Update for some of you that have kindly ask me about the Fires in California... 
We have being living for the past years, in a very extreme situation of drought that has made the fires of this particular summer even more dangerous...
 
I personally,  I am fortunate to live in the "Bay Area" of San Francisco. I am in the heart of the "Sillicon Valley", very populated and dense area ...

The fires are happening in many parts of the state and they are in more rural, mountainous and hilly sites, nonetheless, they have gone through entire small towns and have caused tremendous damages as you can see on the news...but as for me, I am Ok.
The fires have not "touched" the "bigger" cities...

BUT, I feel heartbroken for all the devastation for all the people in Napa Valley and specially the whole town of Middletown...2 hours north away from my area, this last 24 hours... 
I feel so Sorry for the people that have lost everything...
Let's just pray for some rain...and Pray for consolation/protection for all those "homeless" people and animals In the Napa Region.... 
Thanks for your concerns!

Until next time for another craft project...

I Thank you for the company ....

2 Cards with Lost Coast Designs

Hello My Friends:

I have two very different cards made with Lost Coast Designs Stamps...

using the same technique "MASKING"...

The first one was published at the Challenge/event blog: "Lost Coast Portal To Creativity" for this months challenge which the theme was circles...

I used the "mandalas" stamps for the circles placed in a white semi circle...and each time masked to stamp  the next one...

The "daisy flourish" was gold embossed on top  and colored/sponged around with some green ink to make  it pop and inside the flourish I colored with a green "Copic" marker....

I used the die cut "Thanks" from "Savvy Stamps" and  curved  it

The second card is a Halloween card posted at the Regular DT blog: "Lost Coasters Review" ...

The background was masked and sponged in various colors ...

 I stamped twice the crow , glued one on top of the other to give some dimension...added some silver  "Stickles" and a dot for his eye

I used the Crow,  from the "Mother Goose Birds" set which comes with 3 different birds
the flourish "Long Swirl" for the background and on the top added the book sign, which comes in a set/plate of 5 stamps called  "Altered Book Set"
 
added some chip board numbers "Tim Holtz/die" on the opposite corner on top and Voilà!
Note: the branch is a die cut from "Memory Box"

Thank you for your visit 

and comments - much appreciated..

Until Next Time...
