It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS728) & a big congrats to Debbie! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the greeting centerpiece surrounded by a big flower & embossed bg, but I used different images, dies & embossing folder & changed the colors.

For my version, I stamped, colored & fussy cut the big flower & leaves & since I couldn’t find the right color of purple, I colored the oval frame to go with it. The center oval was die cut out before the greeting was stamped on it, then it was replaced. I added some die cut branches & crystals & the rest is pretty self explanatory.

Here are the Copics I used:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC789), we’re headed to one of the Tim Holtz Pinterest Boards. I chose THIS as my inspiration. I really love all the bright colors & long layout.

For my card, I die cut the city skyline & a bunch of the trees then watercolored them. The city didn’t stand out as much as I would have liked so I added a slight black outline to the top. The city part is attached to the back of the white frame then I elevated it w/ some fun foam. The trees were attached to the background, then the cityscape w/ frame were attached on top.

A big congrats to Fifi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS727) on Splitcoast! She has a real wow gallery & I wasn’t sure how I was going to case anything. I finally settled on THIS card. I loved all the flowers & circular arrangement so I kept that, but I used different images & dies, a different layout & simplified my version a bit.

The flowers & leaves were all multi stamped w/ the inks & die cut. I arranged them in the circle & popped up the greeting circle in the middle. The striped lower panel was added under the envelope like cut lower edge. I usually only add a few sequins, but I spilled some & liked how they fell, so I added them all.
