A big congrats to KelliJo, the newest Featured Stamper (FS653)! She has a really fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the monster theme & split panels, but I used different images, different colors & changed the layout.

After coloring my little monsters, I added a black & also a white angles die cut border underneath. The lower section is a distressed harlequin image & colored in the same monster colors. I added a tiny black strip above the monsters to kind of even things out & few black sequins just because.

Here are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I made this for the final Dare to Get Dirty challenge for 2019 at Splitcoaststampers. Lydia shared a video HERE for an easy technique using a gel plate, acrylic paint & a small object. (You may have to be a Fan Club Member to view the forum. Click the blue link to find out how.) It looked interesting & easy so I gave it a try.

I ended up doing 2 pressings of the gel print. The first time, I put neon yellow & neon orange paint onto my gel plate, pressed & slid the object (it happened to be an empty plastic ring from my ATG gun) then pressed the white card onto to it & rubbed. It didn’t look quite dramatic enough, so I repeated the process using black paint & pressed it to the same piece of card. I like it, but it’s awfully busy. I thought the colors would fit a Halloween card so I die cut all the pieces & arranged them as you see. I used a few fluorescent Copics to add color to the roof & windows & added the die cut ground out of neon orange card.

Such an interesting Pinterest Board we have for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge. After gazing at all of the needle minders, I picked THIS one for my inspiration. I liked the spooky purple atmosphere it has. 

It also doesn’t hurt that this greeting cracks me up. Maybe I’ll send it to my sister, lol. I stamped & colored this big ol’ spooky house then masked it to sponge in the cloudy purple sky. I added a little darker color around the edges then some stickles to the moon, water & ground in front of the house.

Here are the Copics I used.
