Wreath on Gold Brick

Posted on October 26, 2019 8:58 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the wreath on the brick wall, so I kept that. But I used different stamps, dies & colors & used a stencil for my brick instead of an embossing folder.

On my bg, I sponged Brilliance gold & lightning black inks thru the brick wall stencil. While the stencil was still in place, I stamped the splatter bg using the same inks to give the bricks a little texture. IRL, it’s very gold & shimmery! The wreath was stamped, colored & I used my out of the box die cutting technique & a circle die to cut it. Large script greeting fit perfectly inside the wreath & I stamped it in black first, then again in the lightning black so it has a nice shimmer, too. A gold circle layer was added & done!

Here are the Copics I used for the wreath:

Christmas Gnomes

X2!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS663) this week, so a big Congrats to Claudette! I chose THIS card to case. I kept the four pane window design, but I used different stamps & dies & made mine a Christmas card.

My card started w/ the die cut 4 pane window frame. I used it to pencil in the position of the gnomes on a piece of X-Press It then stamped & colored them. For the 2 gnomes who have feet &/or hands out of the box, I made a couple extra & fussy cut those parts to add on top. I placed the 4 pane die onto the gnomes & cut them so they’d have the stitching, too. When it was all put together, I added a piece of thin fun foam behind the whole panel to pop it up a bit, then added the die cut holly.

Here are the Copics I used.

Pig Kite Time

Posted on May 31, 2019 9:36 PM by Julie Comment

It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC704) Challenge & we’re headed to The Crown Prints. They have a lot of fun prints & I was inspired by THIS one. I just received this new kite flying pig image & when I saw the pig print, that sealed the deal

To make my card, I had a little square already cut & noticed it was about the right size so I stamped Leonard onto it & colored in the bg. He & his kite were stamped again, colored & fussy cut to add on top. I used an embossing folder for the larger bg..I thought it kind of mimicked what air currents would look like & added a single kite flying away on top. These two panels are layered w/ bright blue & the greeting was stamped directly on the card front.

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