This card is for the Splitcoast Ways to Use It (WT752) & also Angie’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. For all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member (click the blue link to find out how).

For the Ways to Use It, the challenge is to have some kind of special edge treatment. Mine was made by using a border punch on a couple of brown strips & tucking those under 2 edges. After stamping & coloring the pumpkins & sign post I added the greeting & a few floating leaves to complete the scene. Pretty simple!

Here’s the inside & below it are the Copic I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s Dare to Get Dirty week on Splitcoast, so I’m combining Lydia’s challenge w/ the Featured Stamper Challenge. A big congrats to Pam, the newest Featured Stamper (FS652)! I chose THIS card to case. It started out to be more similar, but it went a little sideways when I decided to combine it w/ the DTGD challenge & chose THIS card of Cheryl’s as inspiration, mostly for the layers & colors. For all the details on the DTGD Challenges, go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum.

My card is fairly simple..after coloring & die cutting the bird, I also die cut a pair of frames out of some coordinating colors of dp. I also die cut the big leaf branch & wove it over & under the frames. I also adde a few flowers to brighten it up. The fun birthday greeting was added below. I thought it went w/ this funny bird’s facial expression.

Here are the Copics I used.

It’s my pleasure & my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC713)! And we’re headed off to Wool & Honey..mainly a yarn site but they also have some really cute gifts. I love to knit so this place really spoke to me. For my card, I was inspired by THIS magazine. I really love the white plants on the watercolor bg. 

Originally, I was going to mask the shape of the die cut, then watercolor the bg. But it just didn’t work out like I wanted so I went to Plan B where I watercolored the bg then added the die cuts on top. I misted the w/c paper lightly, sprinkled on 4 green & blue colors of Brushos crystals, then misted heavily. After I dried it, I stacked a white die cut slightly offset onto a matching black version to give it a little depth. The greeting was white embossed onto the black strip.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
