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:

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge so a big congrats to Pauline! She has a wonderful gallery, full of inspiration & for my card, I chose to case THIS card. I like the bright flower on the black bg so I kept those, but I used different images & dies & added a layer.

On my card, I stamped the layered flowers then fussy cut them & the leaves. Good news..there’s a die coming for this so it will be a snap later on. The fern fronds were die cut out of a lime green. On the black bg, I used an embossing folder on it, then cut the smaller layer out of it, inserted a piece of designer paper, then put them back on top of the larger leftover frame. The greeting is on the same lime paper & I added a few sequins instead of the glitter Pauline used.

When I started my flowers, I did a few test runs using different color combos w/ the yellow, blue & pink inks.  I ended up using the pink & yellow combo, but you can see, there are a lot of different looks from just a few colors of ink!

We have a wonderful Pinterest Board & Kia as a guest hostess for the Inspiration Challenge this week! So many lovely table settings & after much browsing, I chose THIS as my inspiration because I loved the flowers on top of the stripes.

After coloring the poppy bouquet, I colored an extra image & cut out the center 3 flowers & popped them up, rotated 45 degrees on the base image. The base layer was die cut w/ the center border & I added a coordinating border underneath it before attaching it to the green stripe paper. I couldn’t find any black & white stripe paper that I liked, but this green stripe fit the colors really well (it’s from an older box of blank Christmas cards!).
