It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC865) this week! We’re visiting Old Farmer’s Almanac & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pretty picture.

I used the dies included in the Blessing Box for my tropical card. The palm trees, flamingo, beach chair, ground & Aloha were die cut twice..once out of purple & once out of pink & stacked. The frame was cut out of a lighter purple & I used a large oval die to cut out the center & I used a smaller oval to cut out the darker purple layer to put inside it.

The sunset scene behind it is a from the Sunset Skies slimline pad. All of the die cut elements were popped up for dimension.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This week’s inspiration site (& Pinterest Board)  is called Sugar & Cloth. I was inspired by THIS picture.

For my scene, I die cut the half tree out of kraft & used a couple of brown Copics. The branch w/ the tree swing was colored & die cut & I trimmed off a couple of branches from the tree in order to add the swing branch. Before I attached the tree & swing branch, I stamped the leaves in the bg w/ a couple of green inks. After I attached the tree, I added some tiny green leaves on top of the tree branches, added the grass & the greeting.

Here are the Copics I used on the tree & tree swing branch:

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC835) this week  & we’re visiting Touch of Class & their Pinterest Board. THIS is the picture that inspired my card.

My southwest Christmas card is pretty easy to make. I die cut the sun out of pale yellow, the sandy hills out of tan, the mountains out of brown & the cactus out of a couple of shades of green. I sponged the edges to give them some depth then added the tiny Christmas lights to a couple of the cactus & used a gold gel pen to connect them. All of the scenery is attached to a pale grey bg.
