It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS793) this week & a big congrats to Wendy! There were many I wanted to case but I really liked THIS card so I chose it. I kept the floating strip panel & tall flowers but used different images & dies, different colors & embossed my bg w/ a die instead of an embossing folder.

For my card, I used a pair of multi layered peony images &stamped the layers w/ the gradient shades of inks then die cut them w/ their matching dies. On the floating strip square, I first die cut a square of white then same size squares out of several shades of pink paint chips. I took the squares & cut different width strips of the colors & attached a couple of layers of cardboard behind them before attaching them to the white square. The lg white bg was embossed only using the Organic Cover die.
The flowers were popped up a bit & some gems added to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC854) we’re visiting a Pinterest Board called The Postmans Knock where I found THIS picture.

I wanted a watercolor look to my branches so I put a die cut piece of water color paper into my Misti to allow me to stamp the same branch w/ different shades of inks. On the first impression, I misted the branch w/ a little water. After stamping w/ 2 or 3 colors, I also used some water based makers to add a little more depth to the leaves. The greeting was stamped on a separate piece of w/c paper along w/ the butterfly. I used a water brush to spread the ink colors inside the butterfly then stamped it again using the darkest of the teal inks. I repeated this on a scrap of w/c paper & cut that butterfly out to pop up on top of the base image. The greeting layer was popped up on top to give some dimension.

Stickles was added to the butterfly & gems attached on the branches.

This week’s inspiration site (& Pinterest Board)  is called Sugar & Cloth. I was inspired by THIS picture.

For my scene, I die cut the half tree out of kraft & used a couple of brown Copics. The branch w/ the tree swing was colored & die cut & I trimmed off a couple of branches from the tree in order to add the swing branch. Before I attached the tree & swing branch, I stamped the leaves in the bg w/ a couple of green inks. After I attached the tree, I added some tiny green leaves on top of the tree branches, added the grass & the greeting.

Here are the Copics I used on the tree & tree swing branch:
