A big congrats to Bonnie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS805) on Splitcoast! She has a fab gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the penguin in the frame, but used different images, dies & colors & changed it from Christmas to summer.

For my summer penguins card, after stamping, coloring & die cutting them, I die cut the new polaroid frame and used a separate piece behind it. On that, I used a wave & a cloud stencil to add some background, then added the die cut palm tree before attaching the penguins & frame. A little stickles was added to the ice cream & waves.

Sorry, I either misplaced or forgot to take the picture of the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC855), we have a Pinterest Board of hats where I chose THIS as my inspiration for the hot colors & spiky feathers of the hat.

After die cutting the palms, seagulls, sand & flamingo, I also die cut some extras to layer for some dimension. The tropical paper was die cut once w/ the larger stitched rectangle, then I used a couple of sizes smaller to cut out the inside. The white layers were added then all the white tropical die cuts added on top.
Here’s a look at the inside:
