For my card, I used cool teal and turquoise colors. To make the background, I die cut a white strip and several colors of turquoise/teal with a border die. I attached them to a white panel then pieced the different colors of the cut outs back into some of the spaces left. The flower (sunflower) was colored w/ Copics and fussy cut. I added a wrinkled seam ribbon bow topped off w/ a flower button tied w/ twine and the greeting on a little die cut tag. Just a touch of Wink of Stella was added to the flower center. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

The two challenges today on Splitcoast, the CAS281 (a color challenge) and the TLC490 (stamp, punch) seemed doable as a combination, so that was the direction I went. My card isn’t quite as clean & simple as I originally intended, but it’s close enough for me, since most everything is punched or die cut.

The fun greeting was stamped on a large die cut tag and again a few times on scrap pieces. I used a multi tag punch to punch out parts of the greeting, then added a some color w/ my Copics and popped them up on top of the original greeting. The teapot & cup were die cut and I added a scrap behind the roses parts that I also added color. The peach doily was die cut as well as the white & coral layers.

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Serendipity SSCB #33 Twine

Welcome to the July Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is is Twine. The design team has the added challenge HOT…(hot colors, heat embossing, what’s hot…etc).

For my card, I went with the Hot Colors option. I love beach sunset scenes so that’s the look I was going for here. I used a combination of sponging and Copic markers for the colors. I grew up in a beach town and I really love palm tree images so I thought this coconut palm would be perfect. After stamping it and the little sun/cloud image, I sponged on some hot sunset colors above the horizon and some water colors below. Normally, I would mask the tree and horizon, but I didn’t feel like cutting out a mask for the palm tree, so I sponged very close to the tree then filled in any white areas w/ Copics.

The tree and sand were colored with Copics and I used a white gel pen to add some highlights. For the twine part of the Challenge, I used a piercing mat & tool to make the two rows of holes, then used some of the yellow/orange twine from The Twinery to stitch the two layers together. I did divide the 4 strands of twine and only used 2 strands to stitch. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics & inks I used for coloring.

I’m also adding this to the Simon Says Monday Challenge…White, since this whole panel started out white.

By the way, the prize this month is an assorted pack of twine from The Twinery!
