    Welcome to the North Coast Creations October New Releases!

    On my first card, I stamped the wonderful beach scene and colored w/ Copics, then used the fluorescent gel pens for the little Christmas lights and Copic white opaque paint for the surf. I die cut the white frame using the ODBD Recipe Card die but shortened it a bit before cutting the rectangle in the center. The turquoise/lime zigzag frame was from a leftover background I made w/ pigment inks and I used a zigzag border punch to create the colored border. A chevron embossing folder was used on the right side. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    For my second card, I stamped the wonderful Joy image, again coloring it with Copics. I used one of the grand circle dies to cut it out, but cut it off below the image. I used the next size up to cut the red layer and the red piece at the bottom was a left over piece from die cutting the bracket border. The two kraft strips were cut using the bracket border dies and embossed w/ an embossing border folder. I added a few strips of red onto the plaid dp down the center.

  • Every Fallen Leaf

    Interesting Color Challenge today on Splitcoast (CC447)! Chocolate Chip, Real Red & Bermuda Bay. Not a real easy combo to make a fall card, IMHO. I could see a Christmas card, but I needed to make a fall card. So…I used the acrylic block tech on the long strip down the left w/ the rich cocoa ink. Then I sponged the 2 blue distress inks getting darker as it went down until the bottom where I sponged more of the cocoa ink. Then I stamped the leaves with the red ink and added some white dots w/ a gel pen.

    On the turquoise panel, I stamped the leaf background image with the tumbled glass then the sentiment with the red. On the leaves, I sponged the inks onto a white strip then stamped them w/ the cocoa ink and die cut. A big button and raffia bow were added above the leaves. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Miracle Butterfly

    A big Congrats to Darlene, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery and there are several I’d like to case, but for my card I chose This card to case. I kept the multi pink colors and butterfly theme, but I used different images, used a die cut butterfly instead of stamped, and changed the layout a bit.

    I’m also combining this with the HYCCT1305, Pink Camo challenge and to make my “camo” in various shades of pink, I tried Lydia’s Bokeh Background tutorial because it looked like so much fun. I used the pencil eraser and the 2 pink inks to create the Bokeh bg directly on my card front. On the smaller top layer, I die cut the sunburst circle and stamped the greeting and ribbon in the lower left. I used the lightest pink ink to stamp a splatter pattern on the corners of the top layer. After die cutting the butterfly and the solid wing backing, I used Copics to color the intricate butterfly a pale pink then used the same splatter image to add some more color to the center.A pink rhinestone and some pink sequins finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    Congrats again, Darlene, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!
