Grad Dreams

It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge this week! So a big congrats to Catherine, the newest Featured Stamper. She has a lovely, fun gallery & I saw many I wanted to case..but I finally chose THIS. (I actually saw a lot of cards w/ stars!) I love the stars, so I kept those, but used a die instead of a stamp for the stars, used different colors & made mine a graduation card.

My card is pretty CAS, I had a bg…actually a lg white envelope that I kept under my card stock when I was sponging, spraying & what not, & it looked so pretty & glittery, I saved it. I die cut the Stars out of the front & added the bg behind it. I put the white outline back in place & used a silver Wink of Stella on some. It was really surprising to me how much sparkle it added in comparison to the clear I used on the capital letters of the greeting & a couple of the other white star frames. I added some diplomas & mortarboards in the left corner.

Here’s the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Swing from a Star

A big congrats to Angie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS635) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case, mainly because I have the same image. Since I did use the same image, I changed most everything else..the colors, dies & layout.

My card started with a Brusho background I made ages ago. It’s sort of how I imagine deep space would look & thought it would look good behind this happy little girl, who’s in her own little world, blissfully swinging from a star. Remember that feeling, as if you’re flying? I put her in my Misti, stamped, colored her w/ Copics then overstamped her. I stamped the greeting on a circle die cut & added a narrow frame. The stars were die cut out of white glitter paper.

Below is the inside, using leftovers from the front & next to it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Such a great site Brenda chose for the Inspiration Challenge (IC686)! After we moved this past year, I spent a lot of time on the Sherwin Williams site looking at paint colors. For my card today, I was inspired by THIS picture. I love the colors & the sprinkling of stars.

For my starry card, I die cut the stars border into a piece of gray for the bg. Then I cut it again in white for the star outlines & again in a piece of tissue bleed bg I had from a long time ago & put them together. I also die cut the capital letters out of the same bg to insert in the greeting. A few star gems were colored w/ Copics to match & added along w/ a white scallop frame.

Here’s a look at the inside where I added the gray outline of stars down the side.
