The Write Stuff

The Color Challenge (CC804) on Splitcoast today uses green, med. blue & golden yellow.  I think those colors are perfect for my fall/Thanksgiving card. I’ve seen a lot of chalk white & bluish white pumpkins in ads & thought that might be pretty. I knew it would certainly make the words on this pumpkin stack easy to read.

To make my card, I stamped &  colored the pumpkin stack, sticking to colors on the muted side, then die cut it in an oval. I added a white layer w/ the oval cut out &  a gray-blue oval frame on top. The little sunflowers &  leaves were colored &  fussy cut to add around the frame. 

Here’s a look at the inside &  below it are the Copic I used.

Congrats to Kelly, the newest Featured Stamper (FS705) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big feather but used different images & dies & made mine a rainbow feather instead of monochrome. 

For my card, I used only one part of a two part, watercolor image. Instead of using the watercolor part, I opted to color my feather in using Copics. I really like the almost zentangle look of this feather & thought it would look great w/ a rainbow of colors filling it in. The stitched frame was stamped using 3 light colors of ink & a few gems were added along w/ the greeting underneath. 

Here are the Copics I used on the feather.(That’s a YG09 at the bottom, in case you can’t see it.)

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC766), we are headed to Allen Designs Studio & after much browsing, I chose THIS for my inspiration.

My card features these cute little bees & sunflowers on a Slimline card. I’m really loving these new dies! After I die cut the white front & all the flowers & bees, I put them together. For the background, I found a leftover piece of mixed media I made, who knows how long ago, using metallic acrylic paints. I liked the colors so I die cut circles bigger than the openings (to show thru the little dots surrounding the circles), then cut them again w/ smaller circles. I used a honeycomb die on the smaller circles, then put them back inside, leaving out a few of the hexagons. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
