Posts Tagged ‘Father’s Day’

Congrats to Cheryl, the newest Featured Stamper (FS640) on Splitcoast! She’s an avid scrapper & I admit, I know next to nothing about scrapping. Sooooo, I picked her Father’s Day layout to case. I kept the Father’s Day theme & used a frame collage that reminded me of a scrapbook layout. I used different images, colors & made mine a card.

This collection of frames gave me a lot of options to use a bunch of images or partial images & fill it in. Rather than mask the frames & stamp inside, I chose to cut out the centers of the frames. I knew I wanted the golfer kind of in & out of the frame so it was easier to do this by cutting out the insides of the frames. After coloring all the images, I arranged them inside the frames & stamped the greeting underneath. I had to cut around parts of  the golfer to fit him inside & outside the frame. 

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

A big congrats to Sylvia, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case.I kept the cute dinosaur theme but changed almost everything else..different images, different colors & different layout.

After stamping, coloring the cute little dinosaur, I made a little forest scene on the white panel by stamping the 2 trees & masking as I went. The front most tree was stamped separately & fussy cut. I drew a box around the trees & colored in the sky & added some punched clouds. 

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

For my typewriter card, I knew I wanted to watercolor this wonderful, vintage image, so I put it into my Misti & stamped it w/ Versafine onto watercolor paper. I added a water glaze on the areas I wanted to color then dropped in the different colors one at a time. The colors are a little different, but I like the way they blend into each other. When it dried, I went back & added more color in areas & added shadows. Then I over stamped it to sharpen up the details. I added a white linen frame & only used part of the greeting. 

Here’s the inside.
