For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC866), we’re visiting Easy Tiger, where I found THIS set of coasters to use for my inspiration. I liked the colors, so that’s where I started.

My mini slimline card was fairly easy. I already had the flower colored & cut out, so I die cut the window cover out of white then die cut the pink & green layers. The flower was popped up a bit & I used my Misti to rearrange the greeting a bit to fit the smaller white panel. A few gems finished it.

Here are the Copics I used:

A big congrats to Sue, the newest Featured Stamper (FS804) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colorful spiky elements but made mine a slimline & changed it from Christmas to birthday.

For my card, I die cut the white front w/ a large stitched slimline die then used the new quilted cover piercing die on it. I made a frame for it by using the same stitched die & die cutting it again w/ the next smaller size. On a separate piece of white, I used Copics to color bands of color then placed it behind the quilted piece. I knew I wanted the spiky flowers on some of the circles, so I used a couple of circle punches (for centers) then lined the holes up w/ the center of the flower & die cut them. I also colored them w/ the same makers then added colored gems to these centers for a little sparkle.

The Birthday word was die cut out of some leftover watercolor paper & the shadow layer was cut out of white. I stamped the small Happy above it & added a med blue layer behind the panel.

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC865) this week! We’re visiting Old Farmer’s Almanac & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pretty picture.

I used the dies included in the Blessing Box for my tropical card. The palm trees, flamingo, beach chair, ground & Aloha were die cut twice..once out of purple & once out of pink & stacked. The frame was cut out of a lighter purple & I used a large oval die to cut out the center & I used a smaller oval to cut out the darker purple layer to put inside it.

The sunset scene behind it is a from the Sunset Skies slimline pad. All of the die cut elements were popped up for dimension.
