Birthday Zinnia -tilted or not?

Posted on March 12, 2014 6:30 PM by Julie 4 Comments

This is for today’s Sketch Challenge (SC479) on Splitcoast. It’s been a little while since I’ve done a sketch, so I’m glad I made it 🙂 With that being said, for some reason I have a real problem with most tilted sketches. I think they look great on someone else’s card but rarely on mine. So I’ll confess right now…after I took this pic, I pried the panel up and straightened it.

After stamping, coloring and die cutting the zinnia, hummingbird, border, tag & white backing behind the zinnia, I put it all together. The panel behind the zinnia is made up of leftover strips of the dp I put together. And here is the straightened version which I’m much more comfortable with, lol.

These are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bird Bath

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A211) on Splitcoast, we have a color challenge…blue & yellow plus another of your own choice. So I’m using all the green of the grass as my other color.

This card is pretty simple, just some masking & coloring all on the one layer. The bird bath itself was stamped for the background splashes but the colored in version was fussy cut and added on top. The only reason this happened is because I had already colored the bird bath but I didn’t leave enough room around it for the scene. It seemed easier to just cut out the bird bath than to color it again. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, please stop by and check out the DRS Thursday Challenge!. This week…For the Birds (use birds or feathers on your project). DRS images are not required so be sure to link up your feathered creation.

Hummer & Zinnias

Posted on February 22, 2014 10:01 PM by Julie 2 Comments

A big congrats to Dawn, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! After much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout, the hummingbird and similar colors, but I used different images, moved my greeting to a tag and added a big flower.

The images & dies are a sneak peek from Our Daily Bread designs! I stamped the smaller zinnia randomly across the background using the two pinkish chalk inks then I embossed it w/ the Swiss dots folder. I stamped both sizes of zinnias w/ the same inks and die cut them w/ the matching dies and sponged the edges for more definition. The white band was die cut w/ a bracket border die and ribbon attached on top. I colored some thread w/ a Copic marker and used it to attach the tag. The sweet little hummingbird was colored w/ Copics, die and I added a little clear stardust pen to imitate the iridescent quality of their feathers. Some sequins were added to the zinnia center. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used for the hummer.

Congrats again, Dawn! Thanks so much for stopping by!
