Pigs on Vacay Selfie

Posted on July 11, 2016 12:21 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS385) on Splitcoast is Hit the Beach! I’m also borrowing an idea I used last week (polaroid frame) which happens to coincide w/ last week’s tutorial, Stamped Selfies. So…I have these cute pigs on vacay taking a selfie.

I die cut my “polaroid” frame, then cut a larger square out of white to go behind the frame. I figured by having the square already cut, I wouldn’t have to mask the frame. The vacationing pigs were stamped & I did mask them…but here’s a little tip..I’ve used these pigs before so I already had masks for them. When I cut a mask, I usually stamp the image a few times, line them up stacked on top of each other & cut them all at once. Then I save the masks in a little baggie w/ the images, so I can pull them out & use them when needed. Saves a lot of time in the long run. After masking them, I stamped the flamingo scene behind them & colored everything. The little glasses were die cut & I colored the white lenses w/ Copics to look like sunglasses.

Here are the Copics I used and below it is the inside.

Enjoy the Beach

For today’s Clean & Simple (CAS382) Challenge on Splitcoast, the topic is Wing It..use birds, butterflies, bees, etc. So I have a few little seagulls on my beach scene, flying just outside of the spotlight scene.

This scene was pretty easy to create. I already had the die cut circle so I put it into my Misti, stamped it w/ Memento, then sponged on the sky, hills & water, colored the sand, sun & tree w/ Copics, then over stamped w/ Versafine. After die cutting the larger white panel, I lined up where I wanted the circle, removed it & stamped the scene again on the background then added the greeting & seagulls. I added a couple of narrow black frames & done!

Here’s a look at the inside.

Dropping a Line

This is for several Splitcoast Challenges…Sketch (SC597), Color (CC587), Technique (TLC590), & Clean & Simple (CAS381). And it’s also for my dad, who has a super sense of humor. Since he lives in Texas where they’ve had about a ton of rain, this is how imagine he’d be kickin’ back, ridin’ it out, if he didn’t already live on the high side of the street, lol.

I printed out this cute image onto Hammermill digital card stock. I haven’t worked a lot w/ digis so it was a bit of trial & error until I got the size about right. Then it was die cut & I left the die in place when I colored it w/ Copics & sponged in my cloudy sky. The little seagulls were stamped & a life saver added in the corner. The rest of the card is per the sketch & the top white section was also sponged w/ a little cloud stencil I made w/ scallop scissors.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
