    A     big congrats to Jodi, the Featured Stamper (FS331) on Splitcoast! What a super gallery and I noticed she has a lot of vintage images and little frames w/ a postage stamp edge, so I chose her Hello, Bonnie Blue Bell to case. I kept the Hello theme, soft colors and general layout, but I used different images, made my background instead of using dp and put the sentiment on the image panel.

    I stamped the greeting  next to the little telephone and colored it w/ Copics, using the colors from Tuesday’s Color Challenge (CC429), sand, pink & sky. To make the background, I placed a couple of strips of drywall mesh across white c/s and sponged the colors on. I added a few strips of painter’s tape and sponged on more color. I die cut one frame using the postage stamp squares (resized to a rectangle) and a narrow white frame around the outside. I used copics to color in the postage stamp frame. The card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    For once, I actually remembered to take a pic of the Copics I used before I put them all back. So just in case you’d like to know, here they are:

    For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT430), we are to feature music and/or instruments. I went w/ the music as these are words from “America the Beautiful”. I’m still hearing the song every time I look at my card.

    The images are from Our Daily Bread designs. I love Patriotic cards and images and there’s nothing finer than the old red, white & blue. This card was fairly quick and easy. I cut a section of designer paper that included the flag and attached it on a navy blue layer. The eagle and musical sentiment were stamped w/ denim ink and colored w/ Copics. I die cut it using my Out of the Box Nestie technique using a Spellbinders deckled rectangle. With the die in place, I sponged a little antique linen ink on it. This was a left over piece of vanilla c/s and I think it must have been around a long time because when I removed the die, I noticed some fine cracking when I bent it. I kind of liked it and to me, it went w/ the distressed look so I used it. I added a few stamped & punched out stars next to it. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Congrats to Silke (silli) FS327!  She has such a big, beautiful gallery that it was hard to choose just one! I finally settled on the layout of her Penny Black card, but I noticed she has quite a few cards w/ a purple & green color combo and I really like that, so those are the colors I chose. I kept the layout and punched sides, but I changed the colors, used different images and changed the theme from Christmas to western.

    The images are form DRS Designs. To begin, I sponged the green inks across the bottom of white card stock and the purple, blue-violets across the top. The cowboy garb was stamped on part of it and cut out. The rest became the layer behind the image. I used a southwest border punch down both sides of the dk purple/violet panel. The main part of the sentiment was die cut and the “Y’all” part was stamped and punched w/ the smallest one of a multi tag punch.I stamped the accessories on the white panel and attached the fussy cut hat and boot and added some shading w/ copic markers. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Congrats again, Silke, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!
