The Write Stuff

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC895), we’re visiting Mud Pie & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS lovely picture. I really liked all the hearts in different papers so I based my card on that.

My card is pretty easy..I die cut the white background panel w/ a stitched rectangle then ran it thru w/ the quilted stitch piercing die. All the hearts were die cut out of various watercolor & shaving cream background scraps I had in my stash. I elected not to use the open outlines & used only the solid centers of the hearts. After arranging them, I stamped & die cut the greeting then added a narrow turquoise layer underneath.

The hearts were all popped up just a bit before attaching to the white pierced layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Supplies:

Memento Inks

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS832), so a big congrats to Kate! After much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the tag & hearts, but used different images, dies &  straightened my layout (I have problems w/ tilted layouts).

After coloring my bunnies, I die cut them along w/ the medium tag of the set. The large heart behind them is from a separate set & I only inked the outline, colored it then fussy cut it. I had some heart shaped brads so I added one to the top of the tag. After stamping my greeting and the little hearts, I put it all together.

The bunnies are popped up w/ fun foam. I used a glaze pen to add some shine on a few areas.

Here are the Comics I used:

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS797) so a big congrats to Karen! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme and long layout but used different images, dies & stencil.

For my card, I used a new stamp set & coordinating stencil. The stencil has layered parts so it’s so quick & easy to add color w/ no masking..I just love it! After I stamped it, I used the stencil to sponge on the yellows & lt reds for the flower & greens for the leaves. I did a little out of the box to keep from cutting off parts of the flower when I die cut it w/ mini slimline die. I added the greeting on its own oval & backed it w/ a scallop oval. On the lg green bg, after die cutting w/ the larger mini slimline, I used a new piercing cover die for some added interest.

Since I forgot to add the ink colors in my top picture, here are the colors I used to sponge the flower & leaves:
