A big Congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper (FS701) on Splitcoast! She has such a fun, colorful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the triple image areas & slimline layout, but used different images, colors & dies.

I’m having a lot of fun w/ these new slimline dies & especially this triple panel scallop die. So many possibilities for it. On this card, I used a cute set of bunny, bear & stars. I used a moon die instead of the moon image because the image was just too big to fit inside the center panel. I added the blue inset panel behind it & a couple of narrow blue shelves below the bunny & bear.

Here are the Copic colors I used:

The Paper Cut Layering Swatches

Such wonderful pictures to chose from on the Splicoast Inspiration Challenge (IC762)! My inspiration was THIS picture of some people face vases w/ flowers on their heads. 

Originally, this pretty lady had a wine glass in her hand, but after stamping, coloring & die cutting her, I cut the glass out & replaced it w/ the leaves of the rose image. I used the rest of the rose to make her a rather large fascinator, complete w/ a netting veil. I used a roll of netting that has glitter & sparkles embedded in it, so it’s really sparkly in real life. More of it is wrapped around the bg piece. The bg was first stamped w/ a few colors of pink & purple using a mini square bg. 

These are the Copics I used on the lady. (All the BV’s were used for her hair.)

And these are the Copics I used for the rose.

A big Congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper (FS700) on Splitcoast! She has a fantastic gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the soft floral in the oval but I made my own bg paper, used different dies & did no-line coloring on the flowers to give them a softer look like her flowers.

After stamping the flowers w/ the pale Memento colors, I used Copics & a little Prismacolor pencil overlay, then fussy cut one group & did out of the box on the ones inside the oval. The bg paper was made by die cutting the different leaves into a piece of copy paper & using it as a stencil to sponge on the Color Fuse inks.

Here are the Copics I used:
