Congrats to Kari, the newest Featured Stamper (FS661) on Splitcoast! She has lovely, growing gallery & I chose THIS card as my inspiration. I kept the western theme & framed boxes, but I used different images & colors, different layout & changed it from a cowgirl to a cowboy.
For my version, I made a western themed birthday card. Originally, the 3 squares were going to be in a line down one side. But in order to have this much of the images in the square, it made them too big to stack. So the Cowboy was moved to his own side & put on top instead of inside a cut out square.
With the layout having so much going on, I kept the color palette simple & stuck to 2 colors, since most guys don’t want things too fussy, anyway. I added a piece of a barbed wire die cut (hey, guys don’t really “get” ribbon & I’m pretty sure the butterflies like Kari used, would be wasted on them, lol) & put the greeting under the cowboy.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

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.

For the Color Challenge (CC728) on Splitcoast, the colors are clover green, gold & black. Perfect colors for a St. Patrick’s Day card.
For my card, I thought this cute little dancer would look good paired w/ the Hat Full of Shamrocks in the window behind her. After coloring the hat, I die cut a white & a green frame & cut a window in the top. The greeting & Shamrock Vine Corner images were stamped & the little Jazz Dancer was fussy cut & added on top. I used a gold glitter gel pen to add a little sparkle to the fringe on her skirt & shoes.
Here’s a look at the inside & I’m so sorry, but I somehow deleted or forgot to take the pic of the Copics I used. Must be those leprechauns up to shenanigans!
