The Write Stuff

Today’s Clean & Simple (CAS465) Challenge on Splitcoast is all about travel. While I made a retirement/travel card, I think this  Follow Your Dreams Sign Post would also be wonderful for graduation.

After I stamped & colored it onto a die cut panel, I stamped the little sign parts again & cut them out to pop up on top. The other layers were leftovers already in my stash & the colors went, so there you go! On the top kraft panel, I stamped the World Map a few times in rust colored ink then added little white strips to make it stand out from the larger kraft panel. On that one, I stamped the little 4 in 1 Arrows in the same ink. I die cut some little arrows & added them down the left side.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Today’s Color Challenge (CC637) on Splitcoast, is wasabi, sugarplum & daffodil. The green & pink are obvious but I only used a little yellow for her hair.

For the green background, I put the die cut panel into my Misti and stamped it first w/ the bamboo ink then shifted it slightly & stamped again w/ the white pigment ink to get that shadow effect. The golf lady was stamped, colored, fussy cut & I wrote Retired on her license plate. Part of the background stamp was used for the greeting below her.
