Congrats to Debby, the newest Featured Stamper (FS703) on Splitcoast! She has an incredible gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the three leaves w/ the gold embossing, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a slimline card.

For my card, I used a piece of alcohol ink bg to stamp & gold emboss my 3 leaves, then die cut them. The card front was die cut & I added a brushed gold layer behind it & a slightly smaller circle die to cut out the centers so the white would show thru. The greeting was gold embossed & I popped the leaves up a bit w/ fun foam.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

RN Splatter Leaves 3019	RN Splatter Leaves dies 3019D	RN Slimline OPC Circle Dash die 5325-02D	RN Circle dies 5002D	Ultimate Metallic Ink
RN Mirror Gold embossing powder	Staples 110# White Card Stock	Stardream Paper

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, we’re headed to a wallpaper site. I was really drawn to several blue & white pictures & finally settled on THIS picture. 

For the bg, instead of the usual coloring in of the leaves, I only filled in the bg areas using a very dk navy Copic. I used a lt grey to add a little something extra in a few spots. The large leaf was fussy cut, popped up & added to a circle stitch frame w/ a piece of vellum behind it.

p.s. Have y’all checked out the new Rubbernecker Stamps release of Slimline dies? They are awesome & selling out fast! Click on any of the pics to take you to that die.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, we’re headed to Lia Griffith & I chose THIS for my inspiration. I love the colors & watercolored look of the stripe

For my card, I smooshed the green & teal inks onto a large acrylic block & used a water brush to pick up the color and paint it onto the stripes. I had the wavy lines bg image in my Misti so I was able to repeat this as many times as needed. Then I moved the paper over a bit, & stamped the lines again next to the first lines. I used the same inks to stamp the upper section & to color the outline die cut leaves. 

On the curved bottom, I die cut the frame w/ curves die & trimmed out one line in white & another in teal & attached them on top of the top panel & trimmed it away underneath to add it on top of the wavy stripe bg.
