A big Congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper (FS701) on Splitcoast! She has such a fun, colorful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the triple image areas & slimline layout, but used different images, colors & dies.

I’m having a lot of fun w/ these new slimline dies & especially this triple panel scallop die. So many possibilities for it. On this card, I used a cute set of bunny, bear & stars. I used a moon die instead of the moon image because the image was just too big to fit inside the center panel. I added the blue inset panel behind it & a couple of narrow blue shelves below the bunny & bear.

Here are the Copic colors I used:

If you love illustrations for Children’s Books, you’re going to love the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC759) this week! I was inspired by THIS fun illustration.

After coloring & die cutting the Dino & trees, I created a “wagon” using a truck die. Rubbernecker makes a wagon die & I truly thought I had it, but didn’t when I made this card.  I have since rectified that little problem 😀  . A dark green Prismacolor pencil was used to make the slats on the side of the wagon. For the background I used a stitched hills die to cut the ground out of brown & made a mask w/ it to sponge in the green hills. A cloud stencil was used for the sky.

The greeting was stamped on a little banner die cut. Here are the Copics I used:

Fun site for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC758)! I was inspired by THIS picture.

For my scene, I stamped & colored the lady & her guide dog & stamped the greeting along side. It just looked too empty & I couldn’t find anything I wanted to put behind her. So I used a pencil to sketch the little buildings & then a few grey Copics to color them in. Just a side note: in case you ever use a pencil then color in w/ Copics, be aware that if you color over your pencil line, you will not be able to erase it. It didn’t matter since I used greys, but it might matter if you use other light colors. Apparently the Copic (or any other alcohol based marker) makes the pencil permanent. So there’s your tip of the week!

Since my main panel is a square, I needed something to fill in the rectangle of the card front. I used a gray layer & cut the side angle, then stamped one section of the plaid (stripe) bg in gray ink.
