It’s pleasure & my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS650)! So a big congrats to Karin, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a fab gallery & I chose THIS to case. I liked the cut out clouds overlay so I kept that, but I used different images, dies & colors, & added a little village below.

For my little scene, the bear in the airplane was colored & die cut w/ the matching die. I used the two cloud dies to cut out the shapes in my top panel & added a gradient teal piece of dp behind it. The little houses were stamped below (there are matching dies for all of these in the set, I just didn’t use them.)

Here’s the inside & the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC711) we’re heading over to the Audubon Society. One of my fave places. I get their newsletters in my email & their address labels…I just love everything to do w/ birds. My inspiration was THIS illustration of the painted bunting. I love all the colors!

My card is really CAS..I die cut the leaf brand & little birds out of a multicolor shaving cream bg I made quite a while ago. I die cut the same branch out of some black c/s & also into the front of a white panel. The black branch was inserted into the negative die cut space & the multicolor version was attached offset, on top. I did a similar stack w/ the Hugs die cut & the tiny birds.

Here’s the inside.

A big congrats to Terry, the newest Featured Stamper (FS649) on Splitcoaststampers! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing, I picked THIS card to case. When I saw those little peeps, the shape of them reminded me of these beach girls, lol. I kept the shapes & pink, blue & yellow colors, but used different images & dies, a different layout & made mine a summer card instead of Easter.

After coloring the girls, I ended up fussy cutting them so I could move them closer together. I die cut some sand dunes & waves along w/ the palm trees & lifeguard stand to make my little scene. (The textured gray I used for the lifeguard tower was a leftover & already had the distressed stripes embossed on it. I just used some of the same Copics to color the fence & roof.)  Looks like a fun time at the beach for these three!

Here’s the inside & the Copics I used to color everything.
