It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS780), so a big congrats to Marilyn! She has a big, beautiful gallery but it didn’t take me long to zoom in on THIS card. I loved the hot pink & the off center circle, so I kept that. I used different images & dies & instead of all die cut flowers, I used a layered stamp set of flowers & made mine a mini slimline.

For my card, I die cut the hot pink layer & used a lg circle die to cut out the top center. A smaller circle die was used to cut the lg circle into a smaller one then I filled the opening w/ a die cut black circle. After stamping & die cutting several of the flower branches, I made a few cuts into the branches so I could curve them around the circle. The Hello was die cut twice out of black & stacked, then again in white & stacked offset.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC841), we’re visiting Virginia Living & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture of a pair of lovely earrings for my inspiration.

My mini slimline is really quick & easy. I die cut the white & teal panels w/ 2 sizes of the stitched mini slimline dies then used a triple stitched circle inset die to cut the trio of circles out. I found a scrap of a watercolor bg from some previous project & used the inset to cut three circles, then inset them into the openings. I put the panel into my Misti & stamped the greeting multiple times to get good coverage. I added a few clear dew drops (I added a bit of color on the back sides w/ Copics) for a little something extra. In order for the top of the letters to show a little more, I used a white Prismacolor pencil to add just a hint of outline on the parts that were stamped on the watercolor. The top white panel is popped up a bit.

A big congrats to Leslie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS779) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & lovely color combo, but I used different images & dies, and instead of an embossed floral, I stamped mine & colored in just a bit w/ a white Prismacolor pencil.

For my card, I used a 4 part layered floral set, but stamped only 2 of the layers..the outline & the final detail layers w/ 2 colors of the teal Color Fuse set. A white pencil was used to add just a hint of white in the petals. I die cut it using one of the new mini slimline stitched dies & used one of the scallop w/ holes for the white layer. I used a smaller size of the same set for the greeting, & moved one end in, matched it up & cut it shorter than normal. For the bg mini slimline cover die, I cut one end to just past the half way point, turned it around, & brought the other end up to make it shorter so it would fit my A2 card. I cut another piece, about an inch & half wide & attached it down the left side to make the panel look wider. The join of the two is hidden behind the floral layers.
