For the Inspiration Challenge (IC763) on Splitcoast, we’re headed to a gardening site. So many choices but I was inspired by THIS picture.

After coloring & die cutting the panel, I split it in two & removed a section in the middle. I didn’t have the color of glitter paper I wanted, so I took some gold glitter wrapping paper, die cut it, then ran a black Copic over it to darken it. I used some of to edge the white panels, make a deckled strip to put on top of the orangey sponged panel, a larger piece to back the entire panel. It’s all attached to an orange slimline card. A few jet gemstones were added to finish.

Here are the Copics I used for the flower:

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC760), we’re visiting a Pinterest Boards called Happy Walls. I was really struck by THIS mural & used it for the inspiration for my card.

For my card, I stamped the image & left her mostly black & white. I added just a little color to her eyes & lips w/ an E53 Copic & also added some gold Wink of Stella on top of her lips. I used a lt cool grey Prismacolor pencil to add just a touch of contour to her face. The branches were all die cut out of silver glitter paper & I used the same Copic marker to make some of the leaves a champagne color. She’s popped up a bit on top of the ovals & then attached on top of a die cut floral frame.

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS698) this week! A big congrats to Patti, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a lovely gallery & there are many I’d love to case but I chose THIS card in the end. I loved the flowers at the edge of a cutaway corner, so I kept that. But I used different images, dies & a different background.

The single rose image is a 2 part, watercolor stamp & I put the solid part into my Misti & inked, spritzed, stamped & repeated this w/ a couple of shades of rose colored ink. Then I stamped the black outline & added a bit more shading w/ a few Copics & a white Prismacolor pencil. I made three of these & die cut them to go on the corner that I cut w/ a curved border die. A diagonal stripe bg stamp & a light green ink were used for the bg layer.

These are the few Copics I used in addition to the inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
