Monster Love

Posted on February 1, 2017 6:53 PM by Julie 2 Comments

I made this really bright, neon pink & blue Valentine for a couple of Splitcoast challenges…the Sketch (SC630) & the Clean & Simple (CAS414). The CAS challenge theme was Peek a Boo & that’s why my little monster is coming thru the heart opening. I started to try & work in the Color Challenge, too, but I already had this cutie colored & die cut & no way was he even close to right colors.

I already knew I wanted this to be a Valentine so I used the Monster Love greeting & had the smiley monster coming out of a heart shaped opening in a much larger heart. To have the greeting & stripe hearts show up on the blue, I heat embossed them using a bright magenta powder.

Behind the lg neon pink heart, I attached a heart cut out of thin foam to elevate it a bit. I also added a piece of white behind the monster so he wouldn’t fade into the blue of the bg.

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

Calm Blue Night

A big congrats to Mary, the newest Featured Stamper (FS514)! What a big wonderful gallery she has! Since she has such a large gallery, I just picked a couple of pages at random & selected THIS from those cards. I kept the deer & trees but added some blues and rearranged the layout a bit.

After die cutting the front white panel, I made an arched frame for the window in order to have the dk blue show thru. I stamped the splatter bg in the opening w/ the white ink then added some stickles for sparkle. The light string was stamped w/ gray & lightly colored & the greeting stamped in black below it. The die cut trees were added w/ a little more stickles.

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

Autumn Calling

A big congrats to Holly, the newest Featured Stamper (FS509) on Splitcoast! And a big Howdy to a fellow Texan..yeehaw! Holly has such a big, beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout (but flipped it) & used similar colors, but I used different images w/ leaves instead of a wreath & some cord instead of ribbon.

The leaves were stamped on a leftover piece of Wrinkle Free Distress background done on water color paper, then fussy cut. The 2 rusty brown strips were stamped w/ a woodgrain bg & die cut. I wound the gold cord into a wreath like shape & attached the leaves on top. Pretty clean & simple!

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Open Leaf, Fall Leaf w/ Acorn, Woodgrain Bg, Autumn Calling (inside – Changing Leaves)

Paper: Staples 110# white, water color, rusty brown

Ink: Versafine sepia, Distress Inks tumbled glass, broken china, marigold, worn lipstick, Colorbox frost white pigment

Accessories: MFT diagonal stitched rectangles, Lil’ Inker long & skinny stitched mats, sequins, gold cord, craft sheet, mini mister
