It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS654), so a big congrats to Donna! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the animal theme & most of the layout, but I used different images & dies & left off the designer paper.

I love this new Rubbernecker image of the dog lineup (it’s actually a 2 part stamp, this one is rear view & the other is the front view). I thought this rear view would work great w/ a fence & then the cats in the tree on the other side. All of the cats & dogs were colored, the cats, fence, & grass were die cut & the dogs were fussy cut around the top. There’s a matching die in the works but it isn’t out yet. I used a new cloud stencil & tumbled glass ink to sponge in the sky bg.

Here are the Copics I used.

Such an interesting Pinterest Board we have for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge. After gazing at all of the needle minders, I picked THIS one for my inspiration. I liked the spooky purple atmosphere it has. 

It also doesn’t hurt that this greeting cracks me up. Maybe I’ll send it to my sister, lol. I stamped & colored this big ol’ spooky house then masked it to sponge in the cloudy purple sky. I added a little darker color around the edges then some stickles to the moon, water & ground in front of the house.

Congrats to Lee Ann, the newest Featured Stamper (FS648) on Splitcoast! I’ve been a fan of Lee Ann’s for a long time & I had a hard time picking just one.  I kept coming back to THIS card. I loved the colors & silhouette image so I kept those, but I used die cut flowers instead of stamped, different greeting & added a couple of layers.

I started by cutting a mask that sort of followed the shape of the die cut flowers, then sponging the yellow orange on the right & turquoise on the left. I actually made 2 of these panels & die cut one smaller than the other to place on top. A black zigzag frame was added  & the black flowers were attached to a white version for a little dimension. I finished it w/ the greeting & some black sequins.

Here’s the inside:
