A big congrats to Diana, the newest Featured Stamper (FS636) on Splitcoast! She has a really wonderful, fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I really liked the kraft bg & the little butterfly, so I kept those. But I used different images, turned mine vertical & added an embossed border.

For my CAS card, I stamped the flowers w/ Versaclair then added the white dots w/ a Posca paint pen & a little red dot for the center. On the butterfly, I used a white Prismacolor pencil. I stamped all but the Wishes part of the greeting, then substituted the Wishes die cut in its place.

Here’s the inside.

For the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast, we’re visiting the Disney Music Emporium. I’ll be honest, at first I couldn’t figure out what I was going to do. So after viewing EVERYTHING, I decided to go w/ the black, white & red colors of THIS. I thought those colors would be great for a grad card.
My card is pretty easy. I die cut the fun diamonds border out of black & the separate center diamond out of red. That central piece looks kind of like a mortarboard so I made a little tassel w/ some metallic gold thread & attached a Candi dot on top. I used my Misti to stamp the greeting  underneath along w/ the silhouette grad caps on the top section. Since they’re so solid, I stamped them a couple of times.

Here’s the inside.

For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT735), we are to have grass on our cards..hand drawn, die cut, stamped..doesn’t matter. That’s pretty easy! All my grass was drawn in w/ Copics.

In fact, there’s only 1 image on this CAS card. The gnome w/ the partial tree. I added all the grass, bushes, sky & leaves w/ Copics. This little guy really looks like he’s sorting things out, doesn’t he? My theory is he’s thinking over ways to add a new room onto his tree house. I put together the greeting from 2 different ones, then added the die cut G at the beginning. The edges of the card front were trimmed w/ a corner rounder to match the rounded rectangle die cut of the panel.

Here’s the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
