For the Inspiration Challenge (IC745), we are going to The Gray Muse. They have a lot of fun pins & supplies but I found my inspiration on their blog w/ THIS picture. 

My card is pretty CAS. I masked off above & below the strip & sponged on a few colors of pink & blue the stamped the greeting & the flowers. I used a clear Wink of Stella on the flowers. It’s hard to see here but it adds a nice sparkle in real life. A few clear sequins were added to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

 

RN Poppy Bouquet 1320-05	RN It’s Spring Time 3309	RN Color Fuse Ink set #5	RN Color Fuse Ink set #8	RN Rectangle Stitch dies 5007D
Staples 110# White Card Stock	Sequins	Wink of Stella

A big congrats to Faith, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the all over floral bg, but used different images, dies & colors & moved the greeting to its own layer.

I used a new multistep stamp set for my card & new Color Fuse ink pad sets in graduated colors. I like that this set also had an outline to go w/ because instead of stamping it in the darkest of the colors, I used black for more contrast. The flowers were stamped w/ the different layers of images in the 4 sets of ink colors. After I finished the bg, I cut it into 2 layers & stuck a narrow black layer between them & elevated the top one a bit. The greeting (from a new Spanish set!) was white embossed onto black & also popped up along w/ the leaves. Turned out pretty colorful for not doing any coloring at all!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC744) & we’re headed to a Pinterest Board suggested by Colleen, called Quiltspirations. I used to make quilts but it’s been a while & there are some gorgeous quilts on this board. I was inspired by THIS quilt. 

My first thought was to paper piece the tree, but I thought again & decided to just cut the tree out of white & color in the pieces to resemble the tree on the quilt. The background is acrylic paint from an experiment gone sideways, but the colors seemed to work behind my tree. The smaller rectangle behind the tree started out white & I sponged on citron, mermaid lagoon & black distress inks. The dots are small punched circles.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
