For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC817) we’re going to ShopBop where I found THIS picture.

For my CAS card, I put the flowers image into my Misti & stamped it w/ a few of shades of blue. The stems were inked w/ a couple of shades of green. I used a yellow for the centers & later added some orange stickles on top. For a little contrast, I sponged in some yellow inks from the top left & green from the bottom right. The blue bg was embossed w/ a mesh folder & I rubbed the white ink over the top of it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC816), we’re going to Apollo Box & their Pinterest Board, where I found THIS lovely picture. I liked the turquoise color & stripes in the bg.

For my 5″ square card, I die cut the sq. turquoise panel then placed it into my Misti & stamped it a few times using the diagonal lines bg & versaclair nocturne. The white layers were die cut w/ stitched squares & one of the borders of the square combo die. The layered flowers were stamped using turquoise & green Color fuse inks, then die cut w/ their matching dies. The top flowers were popped up & the greeting stamped in the corner.

Congrats to Angie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS751) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colored bg w/ the lattice die cut on top & the flower in the corner, but I used different images & dies, different colors & a stamped flower instead of a die cut flower.

For my card, I used a brayer & a rainbow pad to create my bg & I used a slimline lattice die for the cover. Instead of cutting it lengthwise, I turned it sideways & cut 2 short pieces to put side by side, horizontally. I knew the greeting strip would cover the join, so I didn’t even worry about that. The sides were trimmed down a bit to fit & I added a lime green layer behind it. The peony was half die cut/half fussy cut, using my out of the box method.

Here are the Copics I used on the peony:
