It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS797) so a big congrats to Karen! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme and long layout but used different images, dies & stencil.

For my card, I used a new stamp set & coordinating stencil. The stencil has layered parts so it’s so quick & easy to add color w/ no masking..I just love it! After I stamped it, I used the stencil to sponge on the yellows & lt reds for the flower & greens for the leaves. I did a little out of the box to keep from cutting off parts of the flower when I die cut it w/ mini slimline die. I added the greeting on its own oval & backed it w/ a scallop oval. On the lg green bg, after die cutting w/ the larger mini slimline, I used a new piercing cover die for some added interest.

Since I forgot to add the ink colors in my top picture, here are the colors I used to sponge the flower & leaves:

It’s my pleasure to host this week’s Featured Stamper Challenge (FS758) & a big congrats to Linda! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & butterflies but used different images, dies & slightly different colors.


For my CAS card, I first die cut the white panel then masked off the largest area on the right & sponged some colors on the left. I placed it into my Misti & stamped the 2 part flower/stems images on top. The butterflies were stamped & colored on a separate piece & die cut. The strips were stacked & added as a divider like Linda did. Just a little stickles was used on parts of the butterfly wings & flower centers.

Here are the Copics I used on the butterflies:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC806), we’re headed to a watercolor Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely portrait. I don’t have a child’s face image so I used Jacqueline, instead.

I put a piece of watercolor paper into my Misti & stamped her w/ Morning Mist versaclair ink..it’s a dk grey so it’s not as high contrast as black. I used some soft teal & soft peach watercolors & a lot of water to paint the panel. I didn’t even mix the color..it was some that was left over in my palette & I liked the colors. When it dried, I stamped the greeting across the left bottom corner & used a pen to add the XOXO. In my head, I saw it as a stylized glamor portrait that the sender would autograph. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
