I made this for today’s Color Challenge (CC713) on Splitcoast. I admit, I was a little hesitant about the colors..probably because I tend to stick to 2 or 3 colors & also because these seem like such summer colors to me. And I’m mostly working on Christmas cards now & these colors screamed floral instead of Christmas.  So I decided to embrace the berry color and all the others were used in very small doses. And I needed a baby girl card so I thought I could work it w/ these colors.

I stamped, colored & die cut the image & also a couple of layers behind it. The berry & polka dot berry (I don’t have the actual colors but I do have a small sample & this was as close as I could come 🙂 were die cut then I used a border die on the top berry layer & a very narrow white layer underneath it. After adding the star die cut down the side, I added a little stickles to the stars on the image.

Here’s a look at the inside…I was rushed to get this posted & didn’t have time to add an inside greeting. I’ll get it on there before I mail it  😉

A big congrats to Nancy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS804) on Splitcoast! She has a sweet gallery & since I needed a card for a baby girl I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & baby girl theme, but used different images, different paper & different dies.
For my card, I stamped partials of the 3 baby animals, colored them & die cut them w/ double stitched squares (using my out of the box technique to keep the ears & trunk intact on the ellie). I used the same square die to cut out the large white panel & placed my images in the openings. Plaid paper strips were added to the sides & some sheer ribbon across the bottom before attaching to the card. Two stamps were put together to create the greeting.

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

Welcome to the North Coast Creations September Release! We have some super cute new images & dies for you this month. I just love all these adorable animals!

For my first card, I stamped, colored & die cut this sweet little baby elephant. After I die cut a bunch of stars & the pink gingham bg I put it all together & added the greeting on the left.
Here’s a look at the inside & next to it are the Copics I used.

My next card uses the same set, but a different pair of baby animals.


For this card, again the animals were stamped, colored & die cut. I had a picture in my head of cute little stuffed animals on a window ledge so that’s what I went for here. I added some little stars & made a moon by first die cutting a circle, then using another circle die to cut part of it off & make a crescent moon.
Here’s a look at the inside & next to it are the Copics I used.

My next two cards feature the cute Llama set. 


On this first card, I put the llama image into my Misti, stamped it onto kraft, then used Prismacolor pencils to color it. I picked colors that went w/ the mottled bg I made using Distress oxide inks. 
Here’s a look at the inside.


I used the same set but went w/ a gradient shades of blue for the llamas & made a sort of picture frame around them.
Here’s a look at the inside.

The final two cards use the Go Wild set.

 
The adorable little giraffes were stamped, colored & die cut & I put one on top of the oval greeting panel & 2 more peeking around the edges.
Here’s a look at the inside & next to it are the Copics I used.


I used all of the other cute critter from the set for this one. After stamping, coloring & die cutting, I used a stencil to add the blue borders then die cut the circles to put all my animals inside. 
Here’s a look at the inside & next to it are the Copics I used.

Please stop by and leave a little love for all of the NCC Team..it will be so appreciated!
