We have a very colorful sock site, called Joy of Socks, for our Inspiration Challenge (IC747). I chose THIS pair of socks for my inspiration. Good thing I kept the pic, because the socks have been removed from the site!

For my get well card, I die cut the various succulents out of teal, lime & scraps of watercolored paper then die cut the white pots. I wanted a large window, so I used my die  resizing technique to make the (original window is only 4 panes) window half again wider & longer. I’m not gonna lie..it was a little tricky but it worked. The valance was cut using a curved border die & fun orangey-red paper. Another, subtle print was added behind the window & I popped the whole thing up just a tad w/ cardboard. I wanted a little pop of color, so I added some little red flowers to a couple of the plants.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep safe & be well!

A big congrats to Sheri, the newest Featured Stamper (FS685) on Splitcoast! There are many I would love to case but I chose THIS card to base my card on. I kept the big flower on top w/ stripes below but I used different dies, different stamps & angled my top panel.

For my card, I used this beautiful new flower die, new stripe bg & new inks. I die cut the flower once out of white & twice in hot pink then split the pink petals to frame the white ones on either side & used the ends of the other pink to add to the ends of the white ones. On the stripes, I inked them w/ different colors of the little ink squares. I added a hot pink layer behind the white one & put it all together.

Today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC746) has a lot to inspire! I used THIS picture  as inspiration for my card. They were using an alcohol ink bg & alcohol lift ink so I made a reddish  AI bg & used the lift ink to stamp the stripes, then die cut the flowers. 

The circle/squares die was used for the bg & I put a piece of blue/green shaving cream bg behind it as contrast to the red flowers. Then I couldn’t decide how to arrange the flowers. I bet that never happens to you!  The angled corner piece was hanging out so I told it to suit up, stamped the greeting on it & tucked the flowers inside. For a touch of sparkle, I added a few clear sequins.
