For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC706), we have fun site of little felted animals. After much browsing, I chose THIS for my inspiration. It seems I don’t have any llama (or sheep or fox) images so I made mine all pigs.

I used Leonard & his cool gang instead of llamas. They look kind of like a DooWop group..all in step. big Billboard Leonard & all the DooWops were colored w/ Copics & fussy cut along w/ all their accessories. I had this shaving cream bg w/ the circle cut out left over from last week’s card. So I stamped some stars on top, put a white circle frame around the opening & put Leonard inside & all the DooWops across the bottom. The greeting is made of 3 different ones.

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

The colors for the Color Challenge today on Splitcoast (CC743) are coral, olive & mint. I needed another Father’s Day card & I thought these colors would work for Ralph the Golfer & his plaid ugly pants.

After coloring & die cutting Ralph, I die cut the scene behind him then used a watercolor stamp inked w/ the Distress inks to stamp the sky behind the trees. 

Here’s the inside (it was computer generated) & below it are the Copics I used for Ralph.

Congrats to Wanda, the newest Featured Stamper (FS644)! I’ve long been a fan of Wanda’s & I probably could have cased her all week long. I was inspired by THIS card for my fishy birthday card. I kept the layout & underwater theme, but used different images, different colors & added a couple of layers.

After stamping, coloring & fussy cutting all the fish, I dug thru my pile of backgrounds & came up w/ this shaving cream bg. I wanted something w/ some watery colors but not so intense or busy that it detracted from the little fish. For those stripes on the little angel fish I had to use a yellow gel pen to get inside the lines. I added some bubbles & a piece of striped washi tape. Then came the hunt for a greeting. Turns out the one I used was just about perfect. I inked up the top & bottom lines, then used a narrow piece of scotch tape to cover the original A (in Fantastic), stamped, then reversed the process w/ the tape & stamped an I in the A’s place. Some of those clear acrylic doohickies (forgot the name, lol) finished it off.

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