Congrats to Patsy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS639) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I liked the blue & yellow color combo & floral theme, so I kept that, but I used different images, different dies & used emboss resist for my bg.

After I stamped & embossed the bg image in white, I sponged on the yellows from the top down & the blues from the bottom up. I wanted the color to show thru so I clear embossed the greeting onto vellum after stamping it w/ dk navy ink. I added a die cut circle frame on top of the vellum & added a layered die cut flower.

Here’s the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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.
