For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC828) we’re visiting The Stationery Studio & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely picture. I really liked the look of the gold embossing on the maroon bg.

My card is all on the one maroon layer, so I did a bit of masking since all the images are separate. The maroon is actually a bit darker in person, & not quite so red. I started w/ the pumpkin, stamped & embossed it, then masked & stamped the cornucopia. After masking those, I stamped all the other smaller images & embossed them as well. The greeting is two, put together. The Thankful was stamped/embossed first, the I inked the Be letters (from You’re the Best)  & taped over the rest so I wouldn’t stamp it & added it on top.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Staples 110# White Card Stock

AC color card stock

Ultimate Metallic Ink

A big congrats to Dagmar, the newest Featured Stamper (FS766) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & uses so many great techniques. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the winter scene inside the masked shape but used different images & dies & made my scene a little bigger.

For my scenic Christmas card, I die cut the large scallop circle & used the reverse mask to cover all but the area where the scene would be. I used a curved mask to cover the sky area & sponged in the water, then used the reverse part to mask the water & sponged in the sky, leaving a white area between the two. I cut a bunch of masks for the rocks, since mine were all individual stamps, & stamped in the rocks. I covered the rocks & water & stamped the different size trees along the rocks. I used the scallop shaped mask to cover the scene, then stamped the snowflakes w/ white ink & embossed w/ holographic powder (it’s a little hard to see). A white Posca pen was used to add ‘snow’ dots to the sponged scene & also a little stickles for sparkle.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge(IC827), we’re going to Anne of Green Gables where I found THIS pretty snow globe.


For my card, I die cut the globe & little houses out of white, the little trees out of dk green & the globe stand, holly leaves & a larger circle out of metallic green, & the berries out of red glitter paper. I used markers to color the roofs & windows of the little houses then attached them to the globe. I used a random dot bg to stamp snow w/ white ink all over the globe then embossed it w/ a holographic powder. After everything was put together, I added a little stickles, as well.
