A big congrats to Fifi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS727) on Splitcoast! She has a real wow gallery & I wasn’t sure how I was going to case anything. I finally settled on THIS card. I loved all the flowers & circular arrangement so I kept that, but I used different images & dies, a different layout & simplified my version a bit.

The flowers & leaves were all multi stamped w/ the inks & die cut. I arranged them in the circle & popped up the greeting circle in the middle. The striped lower panel was added under the envelope like cut lower edge. I usually only add a few sequins, but I spilled some & liked how they fell, so I added them all.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Tanya, the newest Featured Stamper (FS716) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderfully fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the layout so I kept that & I started to use a floral, but then changed my mine & made it a coffee theme. I used different images, dies & moved the greeting to below the rectangle.

After coloring & die cutting the coffee lover, I used part of a slimline sized bg image to stamp the black rectangle w/ Distress picket fence ink. It was colored in using Prismacolor pencils..I was going for that look you see in coffee shops where they color in & write w/ colored chalk on the blackboard. I framed it in white then added the greeting.

Here are the Copics I used on her:

It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS715) & a big congrats to Marianne! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the overall floral w/ the greeting on top, but I used different images & colors & instead of coloring the flowers, I colored the bg & bleached the flowers.

I started by sponging a white bg, with greens from the top down & pinks from the bottom up. When I’m using two opposite colors like this, I usually leave a very pale to mostly white area in the middle so I don’t end up w/ an ugly color. After stamping the floral bg image on top, I used a tiny, synthetic paint brush & bleach to remove color from the flowers & few of the leaves. If you try this, make sure your brush is synthetic because bleach will totally destroy natural hair brushes. It was die cut twice, using the largest & next smaller stitched rectangle dies. The white half scallop layer was inserted in between, then attached to the card front. The 4 part layered rose was stamped w/ the same pink & green inks & die cut. The rose & greeting are popped up on fun foam.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
