For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC750), we’re headed to a Pinterest Tags board. My goodness, there are a LOT of tags…I tried, but I couldn’t even get to the end of that board. So many beautiful choices. I was drawn to THIS tag & THIS tag. 

Well…I started out to make my card like the first tag. I even used the same embossing folder on acetate. But I just couldn’t get it to look right. So after stamping the layered rose & leaves, I fussy cut them & thought I’d make a stripe background like the second tag. The horizontal strip bg was stamped w/ a lt green ink & the circle was die cut out of it & rotated because, to me, it would look better w/ the stripes going the same direction as the text. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big Congrats to Sharon, the newest Featured Stamper (FS687) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery, full of mixed media & after much browsing, I chose THIS for my case. I was using mostly the card underneath w/ the vertical bands of color & honeycomb pattern. I kept the color bands & honeycomb pattern, but used only 3 bands, different images & dies, & used a large flower & greeting square instead of a circle.

On the 3 honeycomb bg panels, I used a hexagon bg image & several colors of the Color Fuse ink pad sets for each narrow panel. I used a rectangle stitch die to cut them & had to used my resizing technique to make them smaller (it will work when making things smaller, as well as bigger). For the flower, I used the some of the yellow & red Color Fuse sets & die cut it w/ the matching die. A second center was stamped & fussy cut to add on top. I used some of the cut off honeycomb strips to line the inside of the square scallop frame & stamped the greeting on the inside square.

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.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep safe!
