It’s my pleasure to host the Featured Stamper Challenge this week. So a big congrats to Sandi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS750)! Sandi has the most amazing gallery & it was hard to chose just one, but I finally went w/ THIS card for my case. I kept the white banded bg die & floral theme, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a slimline card.

For my birthday card, I die cut the white diagonal bg die & cut a long piece of butter yellow card to go behind it. On this yellow piece, I sponged some red & orange inks then used a stencil to add a bit more visual texture. The poppies were colored w/ Copics & half die cut/half fussy cut & popped up a little on top of the white bg. The greeting was white embossed on black.

Here are the Copics I used on the poppies:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC811), we’re headed to Bella Ella &/or their Pinterest Board where I found THIS dress.

For my mostly monochromatic card, I used a layered floral set of stamps w/ a couple of gray inks, but I didn’t use the first layer, which puts an all over layer of color down. I wanted that to just be the white of the paper. I used 1 lt gray & & med gray for the other 2 layers & the final outline was stamped w/ black. The centers were stamped w/ a hot pink & I also added some hot pink stickles on top. 

On the lt gray textured strip, I used the leaf part of a 2 part stencil. The first group of leaves were stenciled w/ gray & the second group were stenciled w/ the picket fence white ink. I used a herringbone embossing folder on the darker gray & added a narrow strip of hot pin to the edge. A few clear sequins in different sizes finish it off.

A big congrats to Laura, the newest Featured Stamper (FS749) on Splitcoast! She has a terrific gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the fish theme & bg colors, but changed most everything else. I used different images, dies & a different layout.

For my underwater scene, I used blue-green alcohol ink bg..it has some silvery streaks but they’re hard to see here. It was cut in a lg circle & I added a stitched circle frame on top. The lg fish, octopus & sea grasses were colored w/ Copics & die cut. The octopus was cut in half so I could place part over the frame & the rest under it. The tiny fish were die cut out of dk blue & left overs of the same bg. I wanted them to blend into the watery scene. 

Here are the Copics I used on the fish.
