    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC900) & I chose a really fun site w/ lots of ideas..The Refab Diaries & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. I thought the bright colors & hodgepodge of items would be perfect for the image I wanted to use.

    After stamping & coloring this party image, I fussy cut it (actually pretty easy since it’s just a rounded outline). I popped it up just a bit on a mini slimline bg & backed it w/ a piece of polka dot paper. The banner was stamped separately, fussy cut & popped up on the original banner area. For this greeting & the large Happy & Birthday words, I used a combo of Versaclair Glamorous & Purple Delight, stamping one then the other on top of it,  to get the right color to match the paper (the Misti is essential for this). After I die the words, I used the leftover part as a reverse mask & stenciled in the pinkish shadow.

    You can see the finished Happy at the top & the reverse mask/stencil of Birthday at the bottom.

    Here the stenciling/sponging is finished.

    I placed the stamped, die cut words slightly offset to allow the shadow to show behind them.


    Here are the Copics I used for the image:

    A big congrats to Melissa, the newest Featured Stamper (FS833)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the whale get well theme, but used different images, dies & colors, & since my greeting was bigger, I moved it to the stenciled background.

    For my little whale card, after coloring & die cutting him, I added a couple of rounded rectangles under him & a section of die cut blue waves below him. The background was stenciled w/ different colors, then the greeting was split, above and below him. 

    The white rounded square & whale were popped up a bit.

    Here are the Copics I used. I colored the whole set but ended up using just the whale, so the blues & greys were used on him.

    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, we are headed to the Pinterest Board of Jodi McKee, where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

    My card started w/ a stamp, stencil & die combo. After stamping the outline, I used the multilayer stencil to sponge the greens, blue & purple inks onto the flower. I added a few highlights w/ a white Prismacolor pencil then used the coordinating die to cut it out.  For the pinwheel background, I die cut it out of dark purple & light purple, using the darker for the outside frame & the lighter for the inserts. It’s backed w/ a piece of designer paper. The greeting was stamped on the smallest size of the stitched rectangles set.

    I used some fun foam to pop up the flower image.
