Archive for the ‘Prismacolor Pencils’ Category

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC885), we’re visiting a site called Backyard Bliss & their Pinterest Board where I chose THIS picture as my inspiration.

I started w/ the new Birch Tree cover die for my card. After die cutting it out of white, I also die cut one out of black fun foam, to not only elevate it but also to have the black show thru the spots in the birch trees. I used a grey Prismacolor pencil to add the shading on the trees. For the background, I used a piece of dk grey & added 3 single birch trees. Then I placed the die cut deer in & around the the birch trees on top. I liked the dimension of the two layers of birch trees gives. A pair of cardinals & the Merry were added on top. I used the white pencil & a white gel pen to add the snow in the background.

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.

Congrats to Emma, the newest Featured Stamper (FS770) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pencil/Copic on kraft & CAS design, but I used different images & dies & made mine a Christmas card.


I started by stamping the cute snowman & using his matching die to cut out a mask for him out of copy paper. After masking, I stamped the tree behind him & the present in his hand. I used Copics, for the most part, to color everything, but accented the snowman & snow on the ground & tree using a white Prisma pencil. The snowflakes were white embossed so they’d really show up. The greeting was stamped & I used a white gel pen to add the “snow” on top of the letters. This card didn’t take much time & since it’s flat & all on one layer, it will definitely be mailable.

Here are the Copics I used:
