     big congrats to Jodi, the Featured Stamper (FS331) on Splitcoast! What a super gallery and I noticed she has a lot of vintage images and little frames w/ a postage stamp edge, so I chose her Hello, Bonnie Blue Bell to case. I kept the Hello theme, soft colors and general layout, but I used different images, made my background instead of using dp and put the sentiment on the image panel.

    I stamped the greeting  next to the little telephone and colored it w/ Copics, using the colors from Tuesday’s Color Challenge (CC429), sand, pink & sky. To make the background, I placed a couple of strips of drywall mesh across white c/s and sponged the colors on. I added a few strips of painter’s tape and sponged on more color. I die cut one frame using the postage stamp squares (resized to a rectangle) and a narrow white frame around the outside. I used copics to color in the postage stamp frame. The card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    For once, I actually remembered to take a pic of the Copics I used before I put them all back. So just in case you’d like to know, here they are:

  • Framed Crocus

    I made this for a couple of challenges on Splitcoast today…the Inspiration Challenge (IC376), and the Love Fest (LOVEFEST2013C). For the IC challenge, I was inspired by this Round Floral Box. I really liked the red/orange background surrounding the flowers so I stamped my crocus, masking as I went, and colored in the area surrounding them w/ Copics. They looked a little too plain to me so I added just a touch of green shading to the flowers. A few crystals were added for the bling part of the Love Fest challenge.

    The images are from Our Daily Bread designs. I added a few die cut layers using the Marvelous Squares set from Spellbinders, but I had to resize them to make them rectangular. The little green doodads are part of a Cheery Lynn crochet border die. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Weekly-FavoriteA big CONGRATS to Lynn (aka allee’s), the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS310)!! This is well deserved and a long time coming! Lynn is a big participant in the daily challenges and a gallery favorite. Y’all will love her big, fabulous gallery. For my card, I chose THIS wonderful card of Lynn’s to case.  I love the masked strip and silhouette image so I kept those. I changed the images, added a horizontal sponged line (because it looked like my little boy was sitting on top of the water) and added an extra layer. I rarely work on the card front…for me, that’s just asking for trouble. Yeah, like I need more trouble, lol.

    The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs. The silhouette and greeting are new, from a set called Little Boys. The large cattails are from the With Heartfelt Sympathy set. To begin, I masked the sides and sky are of the strip and sponged ink from the blue rainbow ink pad. Then I removed the sky mask and placed it over the water and sponged in the sun and sky using the birthstone & desert heat rainbow ink pads. After removing all the masks, that’s when I discovered my little boy looked like he was sitting on the water, lol. So I masked the sky again and sponged a green horizontal line using the fresh greens ink pad. After adding the sentiment, lg cattails and black layer my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished.

    Congrats again, Lynn, enjoy your week!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
