It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC696) this week! And we’re headed to the land down under w/ a site of fab scenery & colorful beach towels. I chose THIS picture for my inspiration. I really liked the black & white pattern w/ just the addition of a green leaf.

To make my card, I die cut the wavy frame out of white & again out of the black & white patterned paper then put back the inserts as you see. I had a sponged piece of paper left from last week’s card (here), so I used it to die cut leaves, the larger frame & the Smile word.

Here’s the inside:

We have a guest host for the Inspiration Challenge today…& I know you’ll recognize her. SmilynStef is our host & she’s chosen a fun site…SNURK. I was immediately drawn to THIS picture & chose it for my inspiration.

For my birthday card,  I die cut the 2 part leaves then sponged the open parts with the mowed lawn & pine needle inks. The solid piece underneath, was sponged with the citron, pistachio & evergreen colors.  I sponged the die cut wishes the same way.

Here’s a look at the inside. I also included another picture below this showing what I used for this frame. I had a piece of  copy paper under the leaves when I sponged them & it left this wonderful sheet of color. I folded it in half & glued it together, then die cut the frames.

A big congrats to Sharon, the newest Featured Stamper (FS633) on Splitcoast! Sharon has an absolutely wonderful gallery & she’s such a sweet lady. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the cute dinosaur theme but used different images & dies, turned mine horizontal & made it a birthday card

For my old dino birthday card, after coloring & die cutting all the images, I used a deckled rectangle die & deckled hills dies to cut the white front & little hills. The edges were sponged w/ Distress inks & the greeting added to a stitched cloud.

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