Best of 2012 –SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS!

Happy Thursday!
I hope your week has gone well. For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT380), we are to use a door or window. I think my gate counts as a door. Hope so!

Poor Leonard! Do you think his muddy little friend is embarrassing him? This is one of those cards that started out much differently but took a left turn somewhere. And then it just kept going…and going… It seems like I must have used 57 different stamps on this, lol.

The images are all from DRS Designs. The fence is made up of 3 different fences that I stamped, cut out and pieced together. Leonard with the billboard was stamped a couple of times and I cut out his hooves and nose of the second one to add on top of my stretched sign. I did have to use a stamp positioner to rearrange the greeting a little. The card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs- Leonard Pig the Billboard, Pig in Puddle, Unfriend You Greeting, Add a Fence, Flower Fence w/ Butterflies, Stonewall w/ Gate, Easy Grass Background

Paper: Neenah white

Ink: Ancient Page coal, Memento pear tart, bamboo leaves, potter’s clay, summer sky

Accessories: Tombow markers, bird punches (McGill & Martha Stewart), cloud punches (All Night Media), stamp positioner

Pink Leopard

A big CONGRATS to Emily, the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS280)! Emily has been a regular in the challenges and she has such a wonderful gallery. I chose her God’s Love Sympathy card. I kept the half tree type image, but changed most everything else. Really, I did case her card! But like everything I’ve worked on this last week, it took a left turn. Sometimes that happens and you just gotta go with it.

The images are a sneak peek from DRS Designs. Love this lazy leopard but I bet you never thought you’d see a pink leopard. Pink Panther, maybe. But hey, I found this really neat pink ribbon w/ leopard spots and I just had to use it. So I planned on using the same layout Emily did, but when I was looking for some black card stock, I found this cute little black oval frame and that was all she wrote. I decided I needed to use it and I did a quick little out of the box cutting on my image to fit the oval.

By the way, I think I’ll also add this to Saturday’s IC341 because I saw this really cool leopard necklace that made me think of this leopard image to begin with. And while I’m working on challenges, I’ll add it to the Fan Club gallery, cause she’s a fancy pink leopard w/ a pink diamond brad on her pink leopard ribbon!

The background is an embossing folder. It took me longer to figure out how to color it like I wanted than anything else on this card. I arrived at this final result by sponging on the pink ink (not too carefully…there’s a lot of background so go for it!). Then I rubbed the soft sand ink pad across the high points and lastly, tapped the black ink (with a light touch) on the high points, kind of hit and miss. I think it goes with the ribbon really well now. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for looking!

For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT378), we are to use banners. I love banners! I use them a lot for sentiments but this time I just used a banner for the header. It’s a multi-part die w/ several layers for the banner and a bunch of little tassels to go w/ it.

The images are from DRS Designs. The huge sentiment was stamped w/ the cobalt ink on top of the grad cap I stamped w/ the sky ink, and layered a couple of times. The background is a Congrats label/envelope label but I stamped it so the blank middle was behind the main layer and doesn’t show. I inked it w/ the summer sky then used a cobalt marker to highlight a few words here and there. Added the banner layers and tassels and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished!

Thanks so much for stopping by

Supplies:

Paper: Neenah white, lt blue, cobalt blue
