For the Inspiration Challenge, we’re heading to Country Living and I was inspired by THIS picture. I liked the blue bg w/ the white flowers but I switched out the rain boots for a pair of swans.

I started by using my Misti to stamp the swan several times onto a piece of blank rubber, then I stamped it onto the card stock. Then I stamped the regular one in front of it. I added just a bit of color to them then fussy cut them. For the background, I die cut the flower heart, then put it back into the opening & added a lt blue layer behind.

Here’s the inside.

Supplies:

 

Swan 900E	Life Together Happiness 907F	Special Day Greeting 573F	Wedding Ring Ensemble 028G	Heart Drops 255F
Memento Inks	Staples 110# White Card Stock	AC color card stock	RN Rectangle Stitch dies 5007D
MB Vernay Heart die 99080	MISTI	Copic Sketch Markers

For the CAS Challenge (CAS517), the theme is to use the letters COLD. So for my card, I have:

C = Copic coloring
O = owl
L= Love
D= die cutting

This card was pretty easy. I had already colored & die cut Epstein the owl the other day & didn’t use him, so today is his day! The Love word was also already done, but not used yet. I added a white layer behind it to help it stand out from the rose strip behind it. Only the first half of the greeting was used & I used my Misti to help place it & rearrange part of it.

Here’s a look at the inside (blank for now) & the Copic I used for Epstein.

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS624) so a big congrats to Marge! She has an absolute fabulous gallery & for my first card I chose THIS card of Marge’s. I liked the circle w/ the heart  inside & coffee theme, so I kept those. But I used different images & dies & a different layout.

After coloring & die cutting this cute owl, I die cut the royal & turquoise pieces. On the big banner, I had to use my die resizing technique to make it longer. The hearts were also die cut & added along w/ the greeting.

Here’s the inside & the Copics I used.

My second card was inspired by THIS card of Marge’s. I liked the different scenes inside the circles so I kept that. But I have way more circles & different images & colors.

After die cutting the stitched circle bg, I colored & die cut the little images & more circles out of a couple of black & white pieces of dp. I added a larger red-violet layer & let it show thru on a lot of circles. It originally was a deep rosy pink so I sponged on some picked raspberry Distress ink to darken the color.

Here’s the inside & Copics I used.
