Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share with you two projects I made with Lost Coast Design Stamps new release.  The backgrounds are made with a Gelli Plate.  I made two cards with the background paper and added different ribbons to each piece.



Materials List:
Stamps: Light Mandelas from Lost Coast Designs
Ink: Jet Black Archival Ranger
CS: White, black, rose, Early Espresso Stampin' Up
Mono printing  Plate
Acrylic Paints
Empty Plastic ribbon reel
Rhinestones
Ribbons
Yarn

 Card #1

Instructions:

  • Make card bases from Early Espresso and rose CS
  • Backgrounds: add acrylic paints to the surface of mono printing Plate with a brayer
  • Press the plastic ribbon reel into the paint and remove
  • Press a sheet of white CS onto the mono printing Plate and smooth surface with hand
  • Pull CS up and let dry
  • Cut background into pieces to fit your card size

  • Stamp the Light Mandelas with Jet Black ink inside the circles made by the ribbon reel --Just amazing how well the stamps fit into the circles!  
  • Add  the background paper to the card bases
  • Add rhinestones around the circular motifs
  • Wrap ribbon around card 
  • Staple  additional ribbon pieces to wrapped ribbon
  • Tie a piece of ribbon in a  knot and glue to other ribbons
                                                           Card #2

  • On card two, Cut around one of the circular motifs so that it extends pasts the edge--I cut this by hand with scissors
  • Wrap yarn around card and tie ribbons onto yarn
