A big congrats to Janine, the newest Featured Stamper (FS835)! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout, but used different images, dies & paper. I also made mine A2 size instead of square.

My little miniature aquarium view card was made using some really cute undersea creatures & seaweed/coral images. After coloring, they were all die cut along w/ a really large white circle for the background. For the pink stitched frame, I die cut a circle stitch cover die & cut out one of the circles it has to use for my frame. The greeting was stamped directly onto the dp along w/ the cute little splashes.

I just love the happy expressions in their cute little faces. Here are the Copics I used:

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC892) this week and I chose Vintagraph.com & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration. I love vintage postcards and as a Texas native, this one really appealed to me.

My mini slimline card was made by first die cutting then sponging the ink colors onto the white panel. The words Greetings & from (2 different sets) were stamped in the upper left corner. The stitched letters, longhorn’s horns, the cowboy on horseback & hat were die cut from a thick calendar page. After I arranged the TEXAS where I wanted it, I placed semi-tacky piece of tape over them & lifted them up. Two more of each letter was die cut out of white & arranged to shadow the letters. Then I put glue on the back side, attached it to a piece of cobalt blue & hand trimmed around the the letter group. I used the same blue to cut the ground then attached the longhorn, hat & horse w/ cowboy.


All of the individual items were popped up a bit.

Congrats to Gerry, the newest Featured Stamper (FS827) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the colors, the southwest theme & layout, but I used different dies and made mine a Christmas card.

I started my card by masking a large circle for the moon, and another for the sky area then sponged in the colors for the ground. After reversing the mask, I sponged in the sky colors. The arbor and 2 portions of the fence were die cut out of white along w/ the longhorn skull. The wagon wheel and cowboy hat were die cut out of Kraft and sponged w/ brown inks. I used green for the wreath and cactus dies. After arranging and attaching all the dies, I stamped the curved greeting on the right,
