Happy 4th of July! It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge this week & we’re heading to Hometalk. Talk about a rabbit hole..I could get lost in there for days, checking out all the fab DIY projects. For my card, I was inspired by THIS. The simple, nautical wreath turned into a little beach & sailboat scene inside a wreath. 
After die cutting a white & a navy circle frame, I cut pieces of the navy one, edged them w/ a gold Krylon pen & attached them to the white frame. On the circle inside the frame, I added waves, a sailboat, some palm trees & a beach umbrella. For the sand, I cut the Kraft c/s, stamped it w/ a splatter image & white ink, then inked the top edges w/ the white ink. 

Here’s the inside.

Welcome to July & to the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club June Christmas Challenge! You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself.
For my little Penguin Carolers (& 1 reindeer wannabe), I colored them & die cut w/ the matching die. I also die cut the antlers (from a deer die) to place on the center penguin. From the look he’s getting from the penguin on the left, I don’t think he’s buying the reindeer transformation, lol. After die cutting the circle out of the top of the front panel, I stamped the ornament branch on top of the circle & also on a separate circle. I masked the tiny ornament & sponged some streaks of Distress ink over it. 

Here are the Copics I used. (Sorry..I forgot to take a pic of the inside.)

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC708) we have Converse shoes. They actually have a colorful, fun site & I was inspired by THIS pair of shoes. I love the rainbow of colors.

For my card, I first white embossed the mermaid tails & little fish then used Distress reinkers & a waterbrush  to create the rainbow of colors.The paintbrush was used to float in water, a section at a time, then drops of the reinkers were added. I made another little scrap like it to use for the die cut the “Happy”. A little splatter, some sequins, the stamped rest of the greeting & done.

Here’s the inside..I did a little masking to recreate the Fintastic part.
