A big congrats to Leslie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS821) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery and after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the gnome theme & cute layout, but used different images, dies & colors and made mine a fall card.

For my pumpkin spice gnome card, I stamped, colored and die cut the trio of cute gnomes and pumpkins. The greeting was die cut w/ a stitched circle die & popped up.  The white panel was already cut using a deckle rectangle and a large oval cut out of the center. I backed it w/ a larger rust colored rectangle that I ran thru w/ a circle pattern piercing die. The fall paper had just the right colors for my card so I added it behind & attached a few little falling leaves here & there.

These are the Copics I used:

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS819) so a big congrats to Charmaine! She has a wonderful gallery and after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big circular element and bright colors but used different images, dies and left off the shaker element.

For my autumn gnome card, I started by masking a large circle and sky area & sponging in some bright green for the ground. After reversing the horizontal mask, I sponged in the bright blues for sky then used the reverse circular mask to sponge in the yellows & oranges for the sun. The gnome house and gnome were stamped on separate pieces of card, colored. The gnome was die cut and I fussy cut the gnome house. The gnome was popped up a bit & I added some little leaves here & there.

Here are the Copics I used for the gnome:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC829) we’re visiting a Pinterest Umbrella Board where I found THIS lovely umbrella. 

To make my slimline card, I taped down the tree section of the 2 part stencil & sponged in the blues for the bg. The stencil masks out only the birches so they stay white, or whatever color base you’re using. After removing it, I taped down the second stencil part that gives the dark lines on the trees & used the darkest gray ink to sponge those. I also used a few gray Copics along the sides of the birches to add a little dimension to them. The leaves were all stamped, colored & die cut w/ their coordinating dies. Some were popped up w/ foam & others were attached flat. The greeting was die cut w/ a tag die & to get the same edge on both sides, I cut it half way, turned the die around, matched it up & cut the other half.
