For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT735), we are to have grass on our cards..hand drawn, die cut, stamped..doesn’t matter. That’s pretty easy! All my grass was drawn in w/ Copics.

In fact, there’s only 1 image on this CAS card. The gnome w/ the partial tree. I added all the grass, bushes, sky & leaves w/ Copics. This little guy really looks like he’s sorting things out, doesn’t he? My theory is he’s thinking over ways to add a new room onto his tree house. I put together the greeting from 2 different ones, then added the die cut G at the beginning. The edges of the card front were trimmed w/ a corner rounder to match the rounded rectangle die cut of the panel.

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

A big congrats to Angie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS635) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case, mainly because I have the same image. Since I did use the same image, I changed most everything else..the colors, dies & layout.

My card started with a Brusho background I made ages ago. It’s sort of how I imagine deep space would look & thought it would look good behind this happy little girl, who’s in her own little world, blissfully swinging from a star. Remember that feeling, as if you’re flying? I put her in my Misti, stamped, colored her w/ Copics then overstamped her. I stamped the greeting on a circle die cut & added a narrow frame. The stars were die cut out of white glitter paper.

Below is the inside, using leftovers from the front & next to it are the Copics I used.

This is for the 2 Monday Challenges on Splitcoast…CAS527 (humor) & TLC736 (acrylic block stamping). 

For my acrylic block stamped bg, I pressed the Kpad onto the block & spritzed w/ water. I thought it needed a little contrast, so I added a narrow black frame, then used my Misti to stamp the solid branch a few times. The greeting is a put together mix of 2 greetings. For the silly bird image, I drew the stripes then colored & fussy cut. Since this bird looks pretty rotund to me, I thought the greeting fit. I also contend his/her butt makes him/her look big..not the stripes, lol.

Here’s the inside & below it the Copics I used on the silly bird.
