It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS793) this week & a big congrats to Wendy! There were many I wanted to case but I really liked THIS card so I chose it. I kept the floating strip panel & tall flowers but used different images & dies, different colors & embossed my bg w/ a die instead of an embossing folder.

For my card, I used a pair of multi layered peony images &stamped the layers w/ the gradient shades of inks then die cut them w/ their matching dies. On the floating strip square, I first die cut a square of white then same size squares out of several shades of pink paint chips. I took the squares & cut different width strips of the colors & attached a couple of layers of cardboard behind them before attaching them to the white square. The lg white bg was embossed only using the Organic Cover die.
The flowers were popped up a bit & some gems added to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Supplies:

Memento Inks

Staples 110# White Card Stock

A big congrats to Gayle, the newest Featured Stamper (FS792) on Splitcoast! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & most of the colors, but used different images, dies, added some layers & did a little dry embossing.

For my ginger yoga cat, I stamped & colored it w/ Copics, then stamped the Calm part of the greeting right under it. A narrow dk brown layer along w/ the rust colored loopy edge layer were added behind. The white layer was embossed w/ a folder & since I didn’t have a large enough dk brown layer to add under it, I colored just the edge of another white layer w/ a dk brown Copic. The rest of the greeting was stamped on a narrow strip & attached on the embossed layer. A piece of designer paper was the final layer.

Here are the Copics I used:

A big congrats to Lynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS788) on Splitcoast! She has wonderful gallery full of scrap book pages & I chose THIS as the base for my card. I used a similar layout & similar colors, but used different images & dies, & made mine a bird birthday card.

For my card, I bartered a piece of white card stock w/ the Distress inks, going from light at the top to dark at the bottom. After heat setting, I placed it in my Misti & stamped the bird bg w/ the Versaclair ink then clear embossed it. I used a bit of water to remove a little ink on the birds, so they would show up a little better. I wanted a little sparkle, so I spritzed it w/ a clear shimmer spray before die cutting it w/ the scalloped mimi slimline die. It was a little too long so I trimmed off the top & bottom a tiny bit. The bird was stamped, colored & die cut, w/ a couple of extra blank birds behind it to elevate it a bit. The Birthday part of the greeting was die cut out of thick white card that I sponged on the same colors I used in the bg. Some Versamark was rubbed over it then it was clear embossed twice to give it a shiny, enameled look. A few clear dew drops were added to the bg. A little clear Wink of Stella was added to the bird’s tail feathers.
