For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC812) we’re going to a Surfboard Art Pinterest Board where I found THIS beautiful surfboard. I really liked the colors & rays coming down from the center.

For my card, I went w/ a slimline since it had a long layout, like the surfboard. I die cut the white & placed the sunburst stencil over the lower half of it & sponged the lt green & teal inks thru it. For the darker edges, I used a very small make up brush to go along the edges. I die cut a couple of angled borders, sponged one w/ the same inks & added them over the top where the stenciling ended. The beautiful daisies were half die cut, half fussy cut & attached to a white oval w/ a scalloped teal oval behind it. The greeting was simple white embossed onto black.

And these are the Copics I used:

It’s my pleasure to host the Featured Stamper Challenge this week. So a big congrats to Sandi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS750)! Sandi has the most amazing gallery & it was hard to chose just one, but I finally went w/ THIS card for my case. I kept the white banded bg die & floral theme, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a slimline card.

For my birthday card, I die cut the white diagonal bg die & cut a long piece of butter yellow card to go behind it. On this yellow piece, I sponged some red & orange inks then used a stencil to add a bit more visual texture. The poppies were colored w/ Copics & half die cut/half fussy cut & popped up a little on top of the white bg. The greeting was white embossed on black.

Here are the Copics I used on the poppies:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC811), we’re headed to Bella Ella &/or their Pinterest Board where I found THIS dress.

For my mostly monochromatic card, I used a layered floral set of stamps w/ a couple of gray inks, but I didn’t use the first layer, which puts an all over layer of color down. I wanted that to just be the white of the paper. I used 1 lt gray & & med gray for the other 2 layers & the final outline was stamped w/ black. The centers were stamped w/ a hot pink & I also added some hot pink stickles on top. 

On the lt gray textured strip, I used the leaf part of a 2 part stencil. The first group of leaves were stenciled w/ gray & the second group were stenciled w/ the picket fence white ink. I used a herringbone embossing folder on the darker gray & added a narrow strip of hot pin to the edge. A few clear sequins in different sizes finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
