A big congrats to my friend, Robin, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! Robin has a fabulous, colorful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the lattice looking bg & floral theme, but used different images & dies, and stenciled the bg & added a lattice die cut on top. I also used the purple/orange color combo because I know it’s one of Robin’s favorite combos.

On my card, I colored & die cut the flowers & vines from 2 different (but similar) floral sets. On the bg, I used a leaf stencil & some purple & blue inks for the sponging. A die cut white lattice was popped up just a hint on top of the bg w/ the vine intertwined & some flowers popped up on top. I added back one of the diamond shaped cut outs into the lattice w/ the short greeting stamped on top.


Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC821) on Splitcoast, we’re going to a Roundscape Art Pinterest Board where I sort of found THIS picture. It’s not the exact one I used, but for the life of me, I cannot find it now. 

For my card, I die cut one white & one black panel. I shortened the black panel & die cut a partial circle out of it then sponged on the colors for the big moon on the white panel behind it.  I used a white Posca paint pen to add the white splatters to the top black bg & sponged on lighter colors on the lower white part. The die cut pine trees in black & gray were added across the bottom of the top black & the greeting stamped on the moon.

A big congrats to Aikiko, the newest Featured Stamper (FS759)! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & green but used different images, dies & added the purple flowers. 

For my card, I started w/ the mint green panel & cut it w/ a deckle frame die. The white lattice type inset is a new cover plate die (soon to be released) that I cut twice & stacked one upside down on the other. These were attached behind the green frame & inside deckle piece was attached behind it. The smaller green strip was white embossed using a small flower stem. The layered flowers were done w/ blue, purple & green ink then die cut w/ the matching die.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
