Thankful Autumn

Posted on October 15, 2016 12:18 PM by Julie Comment

For today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC567) on Splitcoaststampers, we are to be inspired by one of the Pins on Audrie’s favorites Pinterest board. Lots of pretty cards there! I was inspired by THIS card. I was really drawn to the warm fall colors & the way the color was one sided on the card.
To make my card, I die cut the lg white panel, stamped the 2 leaves w/ black ink then sponged the edges a little using the gold & orangey colors of the Kaleidacolor pad. On a separate piece of white c/s, I stamped the leaves then colored w/ Copics & fussy cut them. The harvest gold ovals were die cut, stamped w/ the greeting & the edges lightly sponged.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Scarecrow

Posted on October 5, 2016 9:05 PM by Julie 2 Comments

This was made for 3 Splitcoaststampers Challenges…today’s Sketch (SC613), yesterday’s Color (CC603 ) & Monday’s Technique (TLC606 ). I used all of the colors for my Thanksgiving card & did a little bandana tech on the olive green strips. For the sketch, I let the legs of the scarecrow serve as the 2nd horizontal band of the sketch, but all other elements are there.

The scarecrow was colored w/ Copics, fussy cut & added to a stitched oval that I stamped the arced greeting across the top. The scroll image was stamped on the die cut olive strips & I used the white gel pen for the bandana tech. The ombre yellow strip started out a honey color & I sponged the Distress inks on it going to red at the bottom. The sponged & fussy cut leaves & punched branches were added around the oval.

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

Sparkle Trees

Posted on October 1, 2016 11:20 PM by Julie 1 Comment

A big congrats to Candee, the newest Featured Stamper (FS504) on Splitcoast! She has such a big, beautiful gallery! I kept coming back to THIS card so that’s the one I picked to case. I liked the little triangle trees & sparkle so I kept that, but I used different dies, different papers & a slightly different layout.

I’ve had this cute little die/embossing folder combo for a long time & thought it would be fun to use w/ some different scraps of glitter paper, metallic paper & some purple paper that was misted w/ shimmer spritz. So I die cut all the little trees, circles & rings and put it all together using some scraps of long strips & a piece of of a water color paper bg. The w/c bg was done using Distress inks & a craft sheet a la Wrinkle Free Distress technique.
The only thing I had a problem with was finding an ink that would stick to the silver metallic card stock circle for the greeting. After experimenting w/ some different inks, I found that Ancient Page did the best but I also heat set it just to be safe. In the open circles on the trees I also added a little stickles to continue the sparkly theme.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
