It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC770) & we’re headed to a shop called Pippin Poppycock. They also have a fab Pinterest Board which is where I found my inspiration. I adore rainbows of color so THIS picture really appealed to me.


I sponged a rainbow using the different colors of Color Fuse ink then die cut a narrow panel using a Slimline die. It’s like the resizing technique except instead of making it longer, I cut just past the halfway mark, turned it around & moved the bottom of the die up, matching the stitch lines. Temporary adhesive was added to the back & I placed it on my bg panel & put it into my Misti to stamp the wildflowers. I removed the rainbow panel & stamped the wildflowers again so there wouldn’t be any white spaces. After I stamped the greeting & permanently attached the panel, I added stickles to the flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the circular image on top & greeting below, but I used different stamps, dies & colors. This is also for Diane’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. We’d love for you to join in & for all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member.

For my card, I stamped the layered flower stamps in a wreath shape in the different colors, onto a square panel. I also die 3 extra & die cut them to pop them up on top. On the pink bg, I stamped the stripe bg across it using the Picket Fence ink, then added the greeting. I used a leftover black square frame around the wreath & added some gems between the flowers.

It’s time for the Splitcoast Dare to Get Dirty Challenge, the Pandemic edition,  & I made this for my challenge. You can find all the details for the challenges HERE. You’ll need to be a Fan Club Member, so click the blue link & find out how.

For my card, I used one of my favorite floral images. It’s stamped & colored w/ Copics, then I traced the outline of a square die around the image & did a little doodling before filling in the bg w/ a black Copic. It really makes those colors on the flower pop, doesn’t it? I had to use my out of the box die cutting technique when I ran it thru the die machine to keep from cutting off the leaves & petals.

The greeting was white embossed on black & I used a stitched tag die to cut it, but only used one end. I placed the die around the greeting, cut to the midway point, then flipped the die to other side & cut to the midway point from the other direction. A piece of black & white dp was added for the bg & the main image is popped up on fun foam.

Here are the Copics I used (one of the very few times I actually used that black Copic!):
