It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge. A big congrats to Kerry! She has such a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I had the same cute little row of houses stamp, so I used that & kept most of the layout. But I used different colors, left off the bow & made mine a summer card instead of Christmas.

After die cutting the large circle, I hunted around for some paper to stamp the houses onto & came across a scrap of a hand marbled piece & I liked the color, so there you go. I fussy cut them & popped them up a bit. The trees were stamped, colored & cut w/ matching dies & the greeting is a rearranged version of the original greeting (Beautiful Day),  plus I penned in 2 of the letters to complete it. I added a little sand at the bottom w/ a splatter image then cut the pieces of beach themed paper for the bg.

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

For the Inspiration Challenge, we’re heading to Country Living and I was inspired by THIS picture. I liked the blue bg w/ the white flowers but I switched out the rain boots for a pair of swans.

I started by using my Misti to stamp the swan several times onto a piece of blank rubber, then I stamped it onto the card stock. Then I stamped the regular one in front of it. I added just a bit of color to them then fussy cut them. For the background, I die cut the flower heart, then put it back into the opening & added a lt blue layer behind.

Here’s the inside.

Congrats to Cheryl, the newest Featured Stamper (FS640) on Splitcoast! She’s an avid scrapper & I admit, I know next to nothing about scrapping. Sooooo, I picked her Father’s Day layout to case. I kept the Father’s Day theme & used a frame collage that reminded me of a scrapbook layout. I used different images, colors & made mine a card.

This collection of frames gave me a lot of options to use a bunch of images or partial images & fill it in. Rather than mask the frames & stamp inside, I chose to cut out the centers of the frames. I knew I wanted the golfer kind of in & out of the frame so it was easier to do this by cutting out the insides of the frames. After coloring all the images, I arranged them inside the frames & stamped the greeting underneath. I had to cut around parts of  the golfer to fit him inside & outside the frame. 

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