A big congrats to Betty, the newest Featured Stamper (FS686) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout & flower theme, but used different images, dies & colors, & moved the greeting a bit.

After coloring the pretty flowers, I decided against fussy cutting them entirely & instead used my out of the box die cutting technique. A black pinstripe paper was added down the left side & I tucked in a few die cut green branches. On the greeting, I stamped it on a narrow piece then used just one scallop of  the largest pierced scallop circle die to cut the ends. A couple of black mini brads were put on the ends.

Here are the Copics I used:

We have a very colorful sock site, called Joy of Socks, for our Inspiration Challenge (IC747). I chose THIS pair of socks for my inspiration. Good thing I kept the pic, because the socks have been removed from the site!

For my get well card, I die cut the various succulents out of teal, lime & scraps of watercolored paper then die cut the white pots. I wanted a large window, so I used my die  resizing technique to make the (original window is only 4 panes) window half again wider & longer. I’m not gonna lie..it was a little tricky but it worked. The valance was cut using a curved border die & fun orangey-red paper. Another, subtle print was added behind the window & I popped the whole thing up just a tad w/ cardboard. I wanted a little pop of color, so I added some little red flowers to a couple of the plants.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep safe & be well!

A big congrats to Sheri, the newest Featured Stamper (FS685) on Splitcoast! There are many I would love to case but I chose THIS card to base my card on. I kept the big flower on top w/ stripes below but I used different dies, different stamps & angled my top panel.

For my card, I used this beautiful new flower die, new stripe bg & new inks. I die cut the flower once out of white & twice in hot pink then split the pink petals to frame the white ones on either side & used the ends of the other pink to add to the ends of the white ones. On the stripes, I inked them w/ different colors of the little ink squares. I added a hot pink layer behind the white one & put it all together.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep safe!
