It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC704) Challenge & we’re headed to The Crown Prints. They have a lot of fun prints & I was inspired by THIS one. I just received this new kite flying pig image & when I saw the pig print, that sealed the deal

To make my card, I had a little square already cut & noticed it was about the right size so I stamped Leonard onto it & colored in the bg. He & his kite were stamped again, colored & fussy cut to add on top. I used an embossing folder for the larger bg..I thought it kind of mimicked what air currents would look like & added a single kite flying away on top. These two panels are layered w/ bright blue & the greeting was stamped directly on the card front.

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

Welcome to June & to the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club June Christmas Challenge  where I’m filling in for Stacy this month. You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself.

To make my CAS Christmas card, I white embossed the polka dot bg onto red card stock using white ink & white powder. I die cut the largest layer, the scallop borders & the 25 out of it. The holly image was colored & fussy cut to add underneath. The half die cut/half stamped greeting was added on the largest white layer.

Congrats to Patsy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS639) on Splitcoast! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I liked the blue & yellow color combo & floral theme, so I kept that, but I used different images, different dies & used emboss resist for my bg.

After I stamped & embossed the bg image in white, I sponged on the yellows from the top down & the blues from the bottom up. I wanted the color to show thru so I clear embossed the greeting onto vellum after stamping it w/ dk navy ink. I added a die cut circle frame on top of the vellum & added a layered die cut flower.

Here’s the inside.
