Welcome to March!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club March  Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges!  You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself. Hint..I’m really loving the new theme for this year.

For my card, I die cut the wonderful deer in the circle out of cobalt blue & again out of white & stacked them a little offset. I die cut a larger circle & sponged the color onto it, then placed it behind the deer. The lg white background was stamped  w/ the snowflake frame in the blueberry ink & heat embossed w/ a sparkly, transparent powder. The greeting was embossed in white onto the narrow cobalt strip.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC791) we’re headed to Shindigz (a party supply place) where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. I loved the color on the birches.

For my card, after die cutting the lt blue panel, I stamped it w/ the white ink using the dot bg. The birches were die cut & I used B66 & B32 Copics to shade the edges. The leaves on the bg were stamped using a couple of the blue ink & the ones on top were die cut & shaded w/ the same Copics.

It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC783) & we’re headed to JRL Interiors (& their Pinterest Board) where I found THIS cute display. The Santa right in front reminded me of this new die set.

Now the dies don’t come w/ a face, but I kept picturing a face for Santa so I added one. I didn’t draw it so much as I just colored an oval die cut in & added the die cut Santa parts. For his face, I started w/ Copics & a lt gray permanent pen around the eyes. I finished shading his face & beard w/ some Prismas & die cut a second beard, cut it in half, & used it for his hair. He’s backed w/ a dk green layer & an off-white deckle frame, then a layer of designer paper. The little circle image was lightly colored in & die cut.

Here are the Copics I used for Santa:

AND..so sorry I forgot to write up a post for my next card for the Splitcoast Christmas Challenge.
All the details for the Splitcoast December Fan Club Challenge can be found by clicking the blue link. On this card, I stamped the two winter friends, masked them & the snow they’re sitting on & sponged in the sky. The tree & lights were stamped & I used a water brush to lift some of the color around the lights to make them glow.

The snowflakes were stamped w/ the picket fence ink & I added stickles to the lights & snowbank.

Here are the Copics I used:
