    Hi y’all! This is my last Dare to Get Dirty Challenge sample and this one is for the challenge I’m hosting!

    Well, this is the view I wish I had! And I wouldn’t mind a pair of them highfalutin’ boots, neither! Think if I call up Nocona Boots and ask them to make a pair, they’d go for it? Anyway, the inside says “Have a Texas sized Birthday” and this one is going to my Dad. He still lives in Texas. I don’t think he’d wear the kinda girlie looking boots, but he’ll like the view, too.

    For my inset window scene, I sponged on the greens at the bottom and the blue and purples at the top. Since the green and purple don’t play well together, I left just a smidge of white between the two. When I had the color intensity I wanted, I stamped the silhouette scene on top then die cut it. I cut a very narrow white layer to back it, then put it back on top of the background it was cut from. The white layer has a larger rectangle die cut window and I added some backing layers to elevate it slightly. The little bluebonnets and sentiment were stamped directly on the bottom. I had a little of the sponged background left, so I stamped the boots and hat onto this and cut them out. The finished card is 6.50 x 5.00.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a chance to play in the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges this week. Lots of fun, inspiration, chatter and PRIZES! This is the final challenge, but y’all still have until Aug 6th to upload your creations in the Dare to Get Dirty Forum on Splitcoast.

  • Daisies in the Lamplight FS285

    For today’s Featured Stamper (FS285), on this first card, I chose Sophie’s Bridal Shower Hearts. I just love the little falling hearts, so I kept them along with the CAS layout, but changed the images and shape of the main panels from squares to ovals.

    The images are from Avocado Arts. I picked them up at a convention a couple of weeks ago where I met up w/ friends, Sandee (stampersandee) & Penny (Pawallen). (Hi Sandee, hi Penny!!) The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and is pretty CAS. The lampshade was paper pieced from some long hoarded Basic Grey Sultry paper. You know years ago when I first joined Splitcoast, I noticed I had the moniker “Cardstock Collector” under my name. I was floored!! How did they know?? Really, I looked over my shoulder! Not much has changed, lol. I still collect!

    Supplies:

    Stamps: Avocado Arts
    Paper: Neenah white, dp (Basic Grey – Sultry collection)
    Ink: Ancient Page chocolate, Memento angel pink, Colorbox rouge chalk ink
    Accessories: stickles, Spellbinders mega oval & scallop mega oval dies, epoxy sticker, 1/2 inch circle punch

    For my second card, I chose Sophie’s Hello Pink Flowers to case. I kept the flower theme and general layout, but changed the images, colors and turned it on its side.

    The images are from DRS Designs and the background was done with a masking/reverse masking using a Cheery Lynn sunflower die and a Spellbinders circle die and sponging on the colors. I had a little white frame left over from something and arranged my flowers in and out of the frame. A little stickles was added to the flower center and the finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white
    Ink: Distress Inks – Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Ancient Page Coal
    Accessories: Spellbinders rectangle & circle dies, Cheery Lynn sunflower die, stickles, Tombow markers

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

     

     


  • The Life in Your Years

    I made this for today’s Technique Challenge (TLC382) and the CAS Challenge (CAS175) using a pic of a bathing suit as inspiration. The dryer sheet flower is pretty obvious, but this really is a quick and simple card. The dryer sheet flower was pretty quick because I cut the layers 6 at a time w/ a scalloped circle die. I didn’t do the spray ink thing because if I’d taken the time to find those, it wouldn’t have been quick. So I just brayered over them real quick and slapped them together w/ a lg brad and attached to a stamped crochet edge circle. Then I added a little stickles.

    The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs and the quote was die cut and the only reason it’s on a separated panel from the frame is because I stamped it a little crooked so I had to add another layer. Oh well. The crochet border was stamped a few times at the bottom and put my 5.50 x 4.25 card together.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
