    The Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast today (SC453) was a real challenge for me. To make it work, I had to mirror image it so the images would fit better. After playing w/ it for quite a while, I finally arrived at what you see and it’s kind of growing on me.

    The images are from DRS Designs.  For the cat in the moon, I used a few yellow Copics then die cut using a big circle. I did the same for the sentiment and the two ring frames around the fussy cut cat & mouse, are actually from the sentiment die cuts. I had to make them a little smaller and I liked the way they looked instead of another circle image. I added some stamped white stars on top and some starry ribbon across the bottom of the fence. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    A big Congrats to Julie (Humma), the Featured Stamper (FS344) on Splitcoast! She has such a fabulous gallery and I chose THIS  card of hers to case. I kept the 4 block layout and bright colors but I used different images, added some faux stitching and made mine a Halloween card.

    The image is from DRS Designs and I just love it!  I thought it would be fun to use fluorescent Copic markers on it. After stamping and coloring it, I used a rectangle die to cut it. I had some small scraps of neon yellow/green & orange so I incorporated them into a color blocked background along w/ the black card stock. The faux stitching was done with a black micron and a neon orange gel pen. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25. These are the Copics & Sharpies (Sharpie has a neon set, too!) I used to color it.

    For today’s Ways to Use it Challenge (WT396) on Splitcoast, we are to include at least 2 round things on our projects. I just happen to have 2 cards that fit the bill. The first one, is very CAS (clean and simple). The images on both cards are from DRS Designs. 

    On the top card, the pumpkin and candy corn circle were stamped and colored w/ copic markers. Then I die cut them and the purple backing layers using both small and large Spellbinder circle die sets. For the background, I embossed just the right half using a Cuttlebug pumpkin folder. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white, dk purple
    Ink: Ancient Page coal
    Accessories: Spellbinders circle dies, Cuttlebug pumpkin embossing folder, copic makers

    For the second card, the moon and all those little round eyes count as my round objects. After stamping the ghosts and coloring w/ copics, I die cut them using the Spellbinders labels 21. I traced around the die and hand cut the black layer. The greeting was split in two and I used a small tag die for them. I cut the first half, turned the die around and cut the other half to get the same cut on both ends. The background was stamped w/ the orange/red Kaleidacolor ink and a punched fence was added at the bottom. The finished card is 4.45 x 5.50.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white, black
    Ink: Ancient Page coal, Kaliedacolor Desert Heat
    Accessories: Spellbinders labels 21 & tag dies, Martha Stewart bat fence border punch, copic markers
