Congrats to Gerry, the newest Featured Stamper (FS827) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the colors, the southwest theme & layout, but I used different dies and made mine a Christmas card.

I started my card by masking a large circle for the moon, and another for the sky area then sponged in the colors for the ground. After reversing the mask, I sponged in the sky colors. The arbor and 2 portions of the fence were die cut out of white along w/ the longhorn skull. The wagon wheel and cowboy hat were die cut out of Kraft and sponged w/ brown inks. I used green for the wreath and cactus dies. After arranging and attaching all the dies, I stamped the curved greeting on the right,

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cardinal Joy

A big congrats to the newest Featured Stamper (FS823), 4littlekittens! She has a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the cardinal as main focus & die cut word in the greeting, but I used dies for the majority of my card, different colors & changed the layout.

On my cardinal Christmas card, I die cut the cardinal pair, birdhouse, oval ring & the Joy part of the greeting. I stamped the rest of the greeting on a narrow strip. On the cardinals, I used some red and grey inks to sponge some areas and add a little color and depth to the birds. The Joy, cardinals, birdhouse and oval ring are all popped up for dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Autumn Gnome House

Posted on October 15, 2022 7:55 PM by Julie Comment

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS819) so a big congrats to Charmaine! She has a wonderful gallery and after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big circular element and bright colors but used different images, dies and left off the shaker element.

For my autumn gnome card, I started by masking a large circle and sky area & sponging in some bright green for the ground. After reversing the horizontal mask, I sponged in the bright blues for sky then used the reverse circular mask to sponge in the yellows & oranges for the sun. The gnome house and gnome were stamped on separate pieces of card, colored. The gnome was die cut and I fussy cut the gnome house. The gnome was popped up a bit & I added some little leaves here & there.

Here are the Copics I used for the gnome:
