There are some really beautiful photos on today’s Inspiration Challenge site! After much consideration, I chose THIS picture for my inspiration. It reminded me of this 2 step watercolor image I had & also because I actually have some photos of that same tree. We visited there a while back & it was a little sad to hear that part of that tree was damaged in a storm recently.

My card is pretty simple..I scribbled some water based Tombow Markers onto the solid ground part of the image, misted & stamped onto a textured watercolor paper. I did the same to the tree & little grasses. I used my Misti to stamp each of these several times so I could get a good variance of color on the images. Then I added a couple of frames w/ ovals die cut out of the center & four die cut photo corners.

Here’s the inside & the markers I used.

A big congrats to Diana, the newest Featured Stamper (FS636) on Splitcoast! She has a really wonderful, fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I really liked the kraft bg & the little butterfly, so I kept those. But I used different images, turned mine vertical & added an embossed border.

For my CAS card, I stamped the flowers w/ Versaclair then added the white dots w/ a Posca paint pen & a little red dot for the center. On the butterfly, I used a white Prismacolor pencil. I stamped all but the Wishes part of the greeting, then substituted the Wishes die cut in its place.

Here’s the inside.

A big congrats to Angie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS635) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case, mainly because I have the same image. Since I did use the same image, I changed most everything else..the colors, dies & layout.

My card started with a Brusho background I made ages ago. It’s sort of how I imagine deep space would look & thought it would look good behind this happy little girl, who’s in her own little world, blissfully swinging from a star. Remember that feeling, as if you’re flying? I put her in my Misti, stamped, colored her w/ Copics then overstamped her. I stamped the greeting on a circle die cut & added a narrow frame. The stars were die cut out of white glitter paper.

Below is the inside, using leftovers from the front & next to it are the Copics I used.
