For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC806), we’re headed to a watercolor Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely portrait. I don’t have a child’s face image so I used Jacqueline, instead.

I put a piece of watercolor paper into my Misti & stamped her w/ Morning Mist versaclair ink..it’s a dk grey so it’s not as high contrast as black. I used some soft teal & soft peach watercolors & a lot of water to paint the panel. I didn’t even mix the color..it was some that was left over in my palette & I liked the colors. When it dried, I stamped the greeting across the left bottom corner & used a pen to add the XOXO. In my head, I saw it as a stylized glamor portrait that the sender would autograph. 

On the teal mat, I stamped the mini square bg w/ a darker teal ink to give it a little visual texture.

Pssst..If you love these buildable floral sets w/ matching dies like I do, they are 20% off right now! (click the picture to take you there.)

A big Congrats to Deb, the newest Featured Stamper (FS729) on Splitcoast! Deb has such a big beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the slimline layout & cute space theme, but I used different images & dies, different colors & instead of dp, I made a stenciled & emboss resist bg.

After I die cut the bg, I stenciled the star bg & embossed the stars w/ silver ep, then I sponged the dark blue inks over it. All the little space images were colored & die cut. A few die cut white stars were added along w/ the greeting strip.

Here are the Copics I used:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC790), we are headed to Hot Chocolate Designs Pinterest Board where I found THIS pair of shoes. I just love the bold stripes w/ the flowers.

After coloring & fussy cutting the spiky flowers, I die cut the slimline layers, cutting two of the inside panel. I used an angle die to cut the pair & put the bottom part into my Misti & stamped the bold stripe w/ black ink. The small Sending part was also fussy cut & the die cut Love was triple stacked.
