The Write Stuff

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS654), so a big congrats to Donna! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the animal theme & most of the layout, but I used different images & dies & left off the designer paper.

I love this new Rubbernecker image of the dog lineup (it’s actually a 2 part stamp, this one is rear view & the other is the front view). I thought this rear view would work great w/ a fence & then the cats in the tree on the other side. All of the cats & dogs were colored, the cats, fence, & grass were die cut & the dogs were fussy cut around the top. There’s a matching die in the works but it isn’t out yet. I used a new cloud stencil & tumbled glass ink to sponge in the sky bg.

Here are the Copics I used.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC715), we have a Pinterest Board of Mason Jars. I was inspired by THIS set. 

I started out w/ just pumpkins, then thought, a window in the side of a house would look better. So I added the window on top of a white panel I first stamped w/ the Woodfence Bg & soft gray ink. I used a portion of an acrylic paint bg & stenciled it a bit w/ tumbled glass before putting it behind the window. Everything else just sort of grew from there. I added the tree, leaves, basket, grass & all the fruits & veggies. This card measures 5″ square & to get the stitched panel on top, I used my Resizing technique w/ the largest of the stitched rectangle dies.

A big congrats to KelliJo, the newest Featured Stamper (FS653)! She has a really fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the monster theme & split panels, but I used different images, different colors & changed the layout.

After coloring my little monsters, I added a black & also a white angles die cut border underneath. The lower section is a distressed harlequin image & colored in the same monster colors. I added a tiny black strip above the monsters to kind of even things out & few black sequins just because.

Here are the Copics I used.
