A big congrats to Betty, the newest Featured Stamper (FS686) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout & flower theme, but used different images, dies & colors, & moved the greeting a bit.

After coloring the pretty flowers, I decided against fussy cutting them entirely & instead used my out of the box die cutting technique. A black pinstripe paper was added down the left side & I tucked in a few die cut green branches. On the greeting, I stamped it on a narrow piece then used just one scallop of  the largest pierced scallop circle die to cut the ends. A couple of black mini brads were put on the ends.

Here are the Copics I used:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC703), we heading over to Ballard Designs & I was inspired by THIS picture. I like the blue & white floral on the oval back chair.

My sympathy card is pretty simple…I die cut the long stem flower out of white & blue then placed the white outline on top of the blue version. The bottom section is an inked embossing folder border I thought mimicked the flower. I had to do a little out of the box on the greeting using a partial die cut shape. Some liquid pearls dots were added here & there after I added the blue, white & marbled blue layers.

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS632) this week! A big congrats to Liz, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a fun gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept most of the layout w/ the wide white frame, but I used different images & colors & made mine a sympathy card.

For my CAS sympathy card, I found a piece of paper I hand marbled ages ago. It was in oranges & pinks w/ a dk blue vein running thru it & I copied it onto a piece of neon pink paper. I stamped the birds on the branch directly onto this using very dark navy ink. I used a white gel pen to add highlights then added a white frame & a navy diamond cut frame. 

Here’s the inside.
