A big congrats to Melissa, the newest Featured Stamper (FS833)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the whale get well theme, but used different images, dies & colors, & since my greeting was bigger, I moved it to the stenciled background.

For my little whale card, after coloring & die cutting him, I added a couple of rounded rectangles under him & a section of die cut blue waves below him. The background was stenciled w/ different colors, then the greeting was split, above and below him. 

The white rounded square & whale were popped up a bit.

Here are the Copics I used. I colored the whole set but ended up using just the whale, so the blues & greys were used on him.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC860), we are visiting a site called Lady Yard where I found THESE elegant pillows.

My card was made using a couple of new foiling dies. The original is a wave pattern w/ the dots & the other is a solid foiling plate. I used the original one on another card but had all this foil w/ the reverse pattern left, so I used it w/ the solid plate on another piece of white card stock. The roses are a paper/die duo, which makes is super easy to put together, & I die cut a few extra blank shapes to pop theses flowers up. The greeting is a stamp/die duo & I heat embossed using Brilliance lightning black ink & clear powder. The narrow gold layer was made using the solid foiling plate & some leftover strips of the gold foil.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC854) we’re visiting a Pinterest Board called The Postmans Knock where I found THIS picture.

I wanted a watercolor look to my branches so I put a die cut piece of water color paper into my Misti to allow me to stamp the same branch w/ different shades of inks. On the first impression, I misted the branch w/ a little water. After stamping w/ 2 or 3 colors, I also used some water based makers to add a little more depth to the leaves. The greeting was stamped on a separate piece of w/c paper along w/ the butterfly. I used a water brush to spread the ink colors inside the butterfly then stamped it again using the darkest of the teal inks. I repeated this on a scrap of w/c paper & cut that butterfly out to pop up on top of the base image. The greeting layer was popped up on top to give some dimension.

Stickles was added to the butterfly & gems attached on the branches.
