    For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A211) on Splitcoast, we have a color challenge…blue & yellow plus another of your own choice. So I’m using all the green of the grass as my other color.

    This card is pretty simple, just some masking & coloring all on the one layer. The bird bath itself was stamped for the background splashes but the colored in version was fussy cut and added on top. The only reason this happened is because I had already colored the bird bath but I didn’t leave enough room around it for the scene. It seemed easier to just cut out the bird bath than to color it again. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    A big congrats to Dawn, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! After much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout, the hummingbird and similar colors, but I used different images, moved my greeting to a tag and added a big flower.

    The images & dies are a sneak peek from Our Daily Bread designs! I stamped the smaller zinnia randomly across the background using the two pinkish chalk inks then I embossed it w/ the Swiss dots folder. I stamped both sizes of zinnias w/ the same inks and die cut them w/ the matching dies and sponged the edges for more definition. The white band was die cut w/ a bracket border die and ribbon attached on top. I colored some thread w/ a Copic marker and used it to attach the tag. The sweet little hummingbird was colored w/ Copics, die and I added a little clear stardust pen to imitate the iridescent quality of their feathers. Some sequins were added to the zinnia center. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used for the hummer.

  • Christmas Owl

    Weekly-FavoriteToday’s Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC453), artichoke, cherry & baked brown sugar, are such great colors for Christmas that I made another card. Mary (owner of Serendipity Stamps), asked if anyone could think of a way to make this super owl die look Christmasy. This is what I came up with using the hat and scarf from the Snowman w/ Birds image.  Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

    After die cutting the owl, I attached him to a piece of dk red. Originally I had die cut a smaller labels 4, but I changed my mind and put the die cut label back into the piece and used it as one. I had a scrap of an artichoke piece so I used it on the right side. The snowy scene was stamped onto the kraft (as close as I have to the baked brown sugar) and I added snow on the trees w/ a white gel pen. The snow on the ground was done w/ a white prismacolor pencil. The falling snow was done by seriously thinning white acrylic paint (approx. 6 to 1 water/paint) in a fine mister and spritzing. I wanted something else red, so I drew a tiny cardinal in the tree. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25. These are the Copics I used to color the hat & scarf.
