The Write Stuff

A big Congrats to Lora, the newest Featured Stamper (FS666) on Splitcoast! She has sweet  gallery & there were a lot of different snowmen cards, but I was mostly influenced by THIS card. I kept the group of snowmen & similar horizontal layout, but I used different images & dies, different colors & moved the greeting.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the snowmen, I also die cut a pine green frame to go on top & a red scallop frame to go underneath. The greeting is good size so I only used the top half, die cut it then cut a slit to insert the corner of the image inside. I just love that little bunny on the right, attempting to eat the carrot.

Here are the Copics I used.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC727) we’re headed to Ruby Mountain & I chose THIS as my inspiration.

The round shape of the earrings & white snow falling reminded me of this new Snow Globe die I have & wanted to use. I die cut a couple of trees & the larger one on the left, I snipped it out of the oval frame it comes in. Thinned white acrylic paint was used to paint the snow on them & when dry, I added some ink & embossed them w/ a sparkly white powder. I used part of a snowflake frame image to add the embossed falling snow. For the greeting, I stamped it onto a piece of white shrink plastic w/ Stazon & heated it. A larger metallic blue layer was added behind the snow globe to go w/ the stand of the snow globe. On the deckle frame, I swiped a dark blue ink along the inside & outside edges & heat embossed w/ a blue satin powder & purposely left the little specks of powder here & there.

Congrats to Christy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS665) on Splitcoast! She has a sweet gallery & when I saw THIS card, I knew it was the one I wanted to CASE. I kept the Christmas cuppa theme, but used different images & dies, different colors & turned mine horizontal.

This brand new Rubbernecker image was placed into my Misti, stamped onto a lt Kraft c/s & colored w/ Prismacolor pencils. I used a white Posca pen to add the bright white dots then stamped over it again to bring back the detail.

After die cutting the layers, I stamped Christmas on the blue pennant & used a white gel pen to add the highlights before adding the die cut Hugs below it. I added the snowflake & some crystals to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
