It’s time for the Splitcoast Dare to Get Dirty Challenge, the Pandemic edition,  & I made this for my challenge. You can find all the details for the challenges HERE. You’ll need to be a Fan Club Member, so click the blue link & find out how.

For my card, I used one of my favorite floral images. It’s stamped & colored w/ Copics, then I traced the outline of a square die around the image & did a little doodling before filling in the bg w/ a black Copic. It really makes those colors on the flower pop, doesn’t it? I had to use my out of the box die cutting technique when I ran it thru the die machine to keep from cutting off the leaves & petals.

The greeting was white embossed on black & I used a stitched tag die to cut it, but only used one end. I placed the die around the greeting, cut to the midway point, then flipped the die to other side & cut to the midway point from the other direction. A piece of black & white dp was added for the bg & the main image is popped up on fun foam.

Here are the Copics I used (one of the very few times I actually used that black Copic!):

This is for Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS707) & a big congrats to Angela! She has a fabulous gallery with so much to love there. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the opposing florals w/ a greeting in between, but I used different images, colors & dies & made mine a slimline Christmas card. I’m also including this in my friend Kittie’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge.You can find all the details for the challenges HERE.

For my card, I stamped (masking along the way) the pinecone images & branches using the Color Fuse inks. I added the berries & a couple of them were die cut & added after the fact. I used a dot bg to add just a bit of splatter, then tucked the oval die cut greeting under one of the berry branches. After die cutting the slimline postage shape I attached it to a dk red card & added a few gems.

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC683) & we’re heading over to The Spruce for our inspiration. My card is based on THIS picture. I’m also a knitter so the knitting crafts really appeal to me. And it reminded me of this fun Hat, Scarf, Mitten set.

For my winter wear card, I stamped the set onto watercolor paper using the Versaclair ink then used watercolors & a couple of blue & teal Tombow markers to color them. I kept it very light & monochromatic & didn’t entirely color them in. When die cutting it, I used my out of the box technique. The Winter word was die cut once out of the w/c paper & once out of the dp & stacked a little off to give it some depth.

Here’s a look at the inside.
