A big congrats to Lynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS788) on Splitcoast! She has wonderful gallery full of scrap book pages & I chose THIS as the base for my card. I used a similar layout & similar colors, but used different images & dies, & made mine a bird birthday card.

For my card, I bartered a piece of white card stock w/ the Distress inks, going from light at the top to dark at the bottom. After heat setting, I placed it in my Misti & stamped the bird bg w/ the Versaclair ink then clear embossed it. I used a bit of water to remove a little ink on the birds, so they would show up a little better. I wanted a little sparkle, so I spritzed it w/ a clear shimmer spray before die cutting it w/ the scalloped mimi slimline die. It was a little too long so I trimmed off the top & bottom a tiny bit. The bird was stamped, colored & die cut, w/ a couple of extra blank birds behind it to elevate it a bit. The Birthday part of the greeting was die cut out of thick white card that I sponged on the same colors I used in the bg. Some Versamark was rubbed over it then it was clear embossed twice to give it a shiny, enameled look. A few clear dew drops were added to the bg. A little clear Wink of Stella was added to the bird’s tail feathers.

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS785) this week so a big congrats to Lynn! After much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & black/white color combo, but I used different images & dies, added an embossed strip instead of the herringbone & added a touch of red.

My CAS card started w/ stamping the white cat, masking her & stamping the gray cat. I did a little out of the box to avoid cutting of the kitties’ tails when die cutting them. I added a narrow silver glitter border then a larger red one. The black strip was embossed w/ a tiny heart folder & I added more silver glitter strips on either side.

A big congrats to Diane, the newest Featured Stamper (FS784) on Splitcoast. She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the colors & long layout, but used different images, dies & technique & made mine a mini slimline card.

For my mini slimline card, I started w/ a white panel that had two “dandelion” type flowers on it..a leftover from Techinique Challenge TLC677, where we used acrylic paint & a rolled up paper towel tube w/ slits cut into the end. I put this into my Misti & stamped just the heavier inner lines of the layered daisy stamp w/ the teal colored Versaclair & embossed it w/ a sparkly teal powder. I did the same to the long stems. The center of the daisy & greeting were stamped w/ the orange Versaclair & embossed w/ a sparkly orange powder. After die cutting the panel, I placed off center on top of a teal panel die cut w/ the quilted mini slimline cover die & added a few sequins.
