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:

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!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge so a big congrats to Pauline! She has a wonderful gallery, full of inspiration & for my card, I chose to case THIS card. I like the bright flower on the black bg so I kept those, but I used different images & dies & added a layer.

On my card, I stamped the layered flowers then fussy cut them & the leaves. Good news..there’s a die coming for this so it will be a snap later on. The fern fronds were die cut out of a lime green. On the black bg, I used an embossing folder on it, then cut the smaller layer out of it, inserted a piece of designer paper, then put them back on top of the larger leftover frame. The greeting is on the same lime paper & I added a few sequins instead of the glitter Pauline used.

When I started my flowers, I did a few test runs using different color combos w/ the yellow, blue & pink inks.  I ended up using the pink & yellow combo, but you can see, there are a lot of different looks from just a few colors of ink!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
