Best of 2012 -SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS!

Love this color combo so much, I worked in another card! The images are a mix of old and new from Our Daily Bread designs. The bird/butterfly label image was inked first w/ the bamboo ink, the flowers were wiped off and inked w/ a pink marker before stamping. I stamped the quote w/ black ink then die cut it.

The green bg was embossed and the edges sponged. The vanilla bg was stamped w/ the pink ink and I made a bg using a little flourish image. A little bird corner was inked the same way as the label image and I fussy cut it to fit in the corner. I put two ribbons together and added some faux pearls (made w/ liquid pearls). The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Bird & Butterfly Labels & Corners, Faithful Friend, Flourished Verses

Paper: vanilla, wild wasabi clone

Ink: Ancient Page coal, Memento bamboo leaves & angel pink

Accessories: Tombow markers, Spellbinders labels 18, Cuttlebug bird & branch ef, ribbons, faux pearls

Sympathy Dogwoods

Congrats, Kecia, today’s Featured Stamper (FS265) at Splitcoast! Fabulous gallery! I chose her Calla Lily to case. I kept the flowers and the white textured bg but used different images added an oval window and made mine a sympathy card.

All images are DRS Designs. The dogwoods are a sneak peak of new images to be released 3/10/12. Pretty simple card. After stamping and coloring, I fussy cut the dogwoods and chickadee and arranged them in my mega oval opening. The oval was die cut out of the white and I stamped the greeting in the lower right then embossed it w/ the embossing folder so I could line up the embossed lines. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

What a wonderful site for today’s Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast (IC325)!I had such a hard time picking just one so I may be back later. For this one, I was really inspired by the colors and pattern in the pottery at the bottom of This Page.

This is pretty much all dp; three sheets from the Scarlet’s Letter pad. The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs. The chickadee and greeting were stamped on vellum and I used a white pencil on the back side. They still didn’t stand out as much as I wanted so I backed them w/ a piece of white paper. This time no fussy cutting…I picked up the matching die for the chickadee recently and I love it.

The hymn was stamped w/ the Memento ink and I added two lines of the punched bird border on top and bottom. The 3 little dew drop like thingies were done w/ a product called Glass Effects. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – All is Well Hymn, You Will Find Refuge

Paper: dp (Basic Grey -Scarlet’s Letter collection), ivory vellum

Ink: Colorbox Fluid Chalk dk brown, Memento potter’s clay

Accessories: ODBD chickadee die, Martha Stewart bird on a wire border punch, Glass Effects, white Prismacolor pencil
