It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS490) on Splitcoast, and the newest FS is Kendra (jksand)! I chose THIS card to case. I kept the semi circle shaker element & most of the layout, but I turned mine horizontal, used different images & different papers.
Isn’t this monkey adorable? After putting the monkey & the bananas into my Misti, I stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics, over stamped w/ Versafine, then die cut using the matching dies. I made quite a few of the bananas to have some for inside the shaker. The white frame was die cut & the shaker was made from a clear envelope. I put some sequins in it & popped up the frame on top to give the shaker a little room. The striped paper was added behind & the little narrow frame of it was added on top of the white layer.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
Congrats again, Kendra! Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is for several Splitcoast Challenges…Sketch (SC597), Color (CC587), Technique (TLC590), & Clean & Simple (CAS381). And it’s also for my dad, who has a super sense of humor. Since he lives in Texas where they’ve had about a ton of rain, this is how imagine he’d be kickin’ back, ridin’ it out, if he didn’t already live on the high side of the street, lol.

I printed out this cute image onto Hammermill digital card stock. I haven’t worked a lot w/ digis so it was a bit of trial & error until I got the size about right. Then it was die cut & I left the die in place when I colored it w/ Copics & sponged in my cloudy sky. The little seagulls were stamped & a life saver added in the corner. The rest of the card is per the sketch & the top white section was also sponged w/ a little cloud stencil I made w/ scallop scissors.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Frog on a Log

Today I have a quick card for 3 Splitcoast challenges…F4A329 (reflect weather), WT587 (trash to treasure), and CC586 (green, pool & misty blue).
You can see by my card, that the weather is cloudy & overcast. The trash to treasure item is the little black bow..it came off of a pkg & I saved it from the trash. Seriously, on my best ribbon tying day (if there is such a thing… ribbon & I have a long standing love/hate relationship..I love ribbon, it hates me!), I could NEVER tie a bow that small. To make my card, I stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics, masked & sponged in the cloudy sky, then over stamped w/ Versafine. The clouds were done w/ a cloud stencil I made by cutting the cloud shape edge w/ a pair of scallop scissors. I left the bg water white so the entire scene wouldn’t be covered in blue. I added an embossed green layer, the trash bound bow & a pair of die cut white dandelions.

Here are the Copics I used.
