Heart to Heart

Posted on May 20, 2017 8:57 PM by Julie 2 Comments

A big congrats to Shirley, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! She has lovely little gallery and I chose THIS to case. I kept the flowers theme & framing, but I used different images, different colors, added a couple of frames & made mine a sympathy card.

After die cutting the white panel a couple of times, I sponged the pinks & aquas onto the center one, then stamped the greeting & flower branch w/ the gray ink. A little color was added to the flowers & I used a white gel pen for the centers. The narrowest stitched frame was sponged aqua to match (since I didn’t have any card stock to match) & I added a gray mat inside. The dogwoods were stamped w/ gray, lightly colored w/ Copics & fussy cut to add on top of the frame.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

A big Congrats to Kandie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS534) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful little gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the tree & birds & most of the layout, but I used different images, different colors & made my a thank you/sympathy card.

I masked off the die cut blue/grey panel & stamped the Woodgrain Bg across the top 2/3 w/ the weathered wood ink & added just a little gray in between areas. The greeting was stamped below in the majestic blue ink then I added the die cut tree & birds & a dividing strip w/ a little Candi dot.

Here’s a look at the inside.

This month- it’s the Adirondack Chair.. The special is free shipping on all US orders $20 and up – good Wed through Sunday 4/20 – 4/24. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! On the third Wednesday of every month., we’ll be celebrating with a Blog Hop! For another chance to win, be sure to play along with our monthly challenge. You can get all the details on the challenge HERE.

For my card, I put the Adirondack Chair image in my Misti, stamped it w/ Memento, colored w/ Copic markers, overstamped w/ Versfine then sprinkled w/ detail black embossing powder & heat embossed it. I pretty much had to do it in this order to use the Copics w/ the heat embossing…Copics tend to “melt” the ep (& ruin your markers) if you try to use them after heat embossing..especially if you do a lot of blending. I die cut the gray frame using 2 sizes of the matting basics dies. For the dry embossed cherry tree, I arranged the image inside the embossing folder, then put one of the embossing frames on top to keep it from embossing the area over the chair. I sort of matched up the branch embossing on the gray frame & embossed it, as well. The stamped, colored & fussy cut geraniums on the side.

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

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps –Adirondack Chair, Sm. Geraniums, Thinking of You, (inside – Sending Love)
