It’s Dare to Get Dirty week on Splitcoast, so I’m combining Lydia’s challenge w/ the Featured Stamper Challenge. A big congrats to Pam, the newest Featured Stamper (FS652)! I chose THIS card to case. It started out to be more similar, but it went a little sideways when I decided to combine it w/ the DTGD challenge & chose THIS card of Cheryl’s as inspiration, mostly for the layers & colors. For all the details on the DTGD Challenges, go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum.

My card is fairly simple..after coloring & die cutting the bird, I also die cut a pair of frames out of some coordinating colors of dp. I also die cut the big leaf branch & wove it over & under the frames. I also adde a few flowers to brighten it up. The fun birthday greeting was added below. I thought it went w/ this funny bird’s facial expression.

Here are the Copics I used.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC711) we’re heading over to the Audubon Society. One of my fave places. I get their newsletters in my email & their address labels…I just love everything to do w/ birds. My inspiration was THIS illustration of the painted bunting. I love all the colors!

My card is really CAS..I die cut the leaf brand & little birds out of a multicolor shaving cream bg I made quite a while ago. I die cut the same branch out of some black c/s & also into the front of a white panel. The black branch was inserted into the negative die cut space & the multicolor version was attached offset, on top. I did a similar stack w/ the Hugs die cut & the tiny birds.

Here’s the inside.

For the Inspiration Challenge, we’re heading to Country Living and I was inspired by THIS picture. I liked the blue bg w/ the white flowers but I switched out the rain boots for a pair of swans.

I started by using my Misti to stamp the swan several times onto a piece of blank rubber, then I stamped it onto the card stock. Then I stamped the regular one in front of it. I added just a bit of color to them then fussy cut them. For the background, I die cut the flower heart, then put it back into the opening & added a lt blue layer behind.

Here’s the inside.
