Special Day

Posted on April 2, 2022 11:59 AM by Julie Comment

It’s my pleasure to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC852) this week & I had a lot of fun w/ all the inspiration pics on the DIY Craft Land site. After much browsing, I chose THIS picture to inspire me.

After die cutting the vases & all the little flowers, I put them together & did a little shaping on them. I die cut the white mini slimline panel then die cut the hexagon panel inside it. I started to use a woodgrain panel behind it, like the woodgrain in my inspiration pic, but I just didn’t like it, so I saved it for the plant shelves. I cut some little pieces of brighter colored paper to put behind the openings. The blues I had weren’t quite right, so I used a BG01 Copic to color it & also the edge of the panel behind the main one. Some stickles was added to flower centers & some gems sprinkled around for a little sparkle. The peachy-pink gems were also colored w/ a Copic R14 to match the papers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC804) this week & we’re headed to Nina Cloak &/0r their Pinterest Board. There were so many lovely patterns on their items, but I really liked the split negative look of THIS dress.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the flowers, I die cut the white & black bgs w/ the rect stitch dies. Then I stacked them & die cut the stitched hills diagonally; I cut them at the same time in order to have them match exactly. Then I split them apart a bit & added a strip of lavender in between. To compensate for this spread, after putting the panels together, I used the rectangle die again, matching up the stitch lines across the top & bottom. This could have been done all in one step, by putting the panels together first, then die cutting the whole thing. But I didn’t think of adding the lavender strip until after I’d cut them the first time. Doesn’t it always seem to work out that way? But I’ll remember it next time!

Here are the Copics I used:

Best Poppies

Posted on April 17, 2021 9:12 PM by Julie Comment

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS741) this week! So a big congrats to Heather, the newest FS. She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & green (because I LOVE greens), but used different images & dies & made my card a floral instead of a St. Patrick’s Day card.

For my card, after stamping, coloring & die cutting the poppies, I did the stems & leaves & fussy cut them to add them to my white circle. The smaller bg was sponged w/ the lime greens & a little teal on the ends. The larger bg is one I made a while back w/ a die cut & some Brushos, but I wasn’t crazy how it looked alone. But it worked great behind my sponged layer.
Here’s how it looked by itself. See? Nothing to write home about. I took some die cut leaves to use as a mask, then sprinkled the Brushos & spritzed w/ water.

I put the sponged panel into my Misti & stamped w/ the Versaclair then put all my layers together & added a few gems.

Here are the Copics I used for the poppies:
