A big congrats to Sherri, the newest Featured Stamper (FS768) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pair of gnomes & most of the colors, but used different images & dies, turned mine horizontal & made it a Christmas card.

For my card, after coloring & die cutting the gnomes & presents, & also cut some fun foam using the same dies to pop them up. The Happy die cut word was layered twice & the red shadow was also backed w/ fun foam. I put an extra piece of foam behind the sign the gnome on the left is holding.

Here are the Copics I used:

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.

A big congrats to Mickey, the newest Featured Stamper (FS765) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & scalloped layers in gradient colors, but I used different images, dies, different colors & left off the embossing.

For my fairly easy card, after coloring the baby elephant & balloons, I die cut them & added fun foam to the ellie & 1 balloon, & cardboard to 1 balloon. The gradually darker pink layers were cut w/ a wave die (which had the scallops I wanted), attached to an ivory layer then die cut. I didn’t stick the pink layers entirely down so they’d have a little lift like Mickey’s did. The greeting was stamped & some pink ribbon across the top, then the ellie & balloons. I separated a piece of black embroidery thread into 3 for the balloon strings & added a few pink gems.
