For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC789), we’re headed to one of the Tim Holtz Pinterest Boards. I chose THIS as my inspiration. I really love all the bright colors & long layout.

For my card, I die cut the city skyline & a bunch of the trees then watercolored them. The city didn’t stand out as much as I would have liked so I added a slight black outline to the top. The city part is attached to the back of the white frame then I elevated it w/ some fun foam. The trees were attached to the background, then the cityscape w/ frame were attached on top.

It’s my pleasure to host the 1st Inspiration Challenge of 2012! And we’re to a site called Fancy. After a lot of window shopping, I chose THIS for my inspiration. I loved all the glittery sea color on the fish scale pattern & it reminded me of this slimline die.

For my very glittery & shiny card, I die cut the fish scale once out of silver mirror board & once out of a smooth white glitter card. Before I removed the glitter one from the die, I put tape on the backside to hold all the pieces together. Using Copics, I colored in some of the inside pieces then put the silver frame on top & some of the silver inside pieces. The fish & seaweed were also die cut & I added a little Wink of Stella on the fins.  The silver mirror board is hard to stamp on, so I had to use Stazon for the greeting. For a little added sparkle, I put some stickles on top of the glitter pieces.


Here are the Copics I used:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC782), we’re headed to Traditions.I was inspired by THIS display picture. All the Christmas items & colors combined reminded me of this background stamp.

After coloring it all in, it was die cut & I used a scallop bubble edge die for the blue layer. Since it was basically the same size as my main panel, I used my resizing technique to make 1 scallop longer & 1 scallop wider so it would show up. The greeting was stamped on a small rectangle & layered w/ a blue half scallop panel & a slightly bigger white panel.

Here are the Copics I used. If you’re wondering about the V06, it was used to underpin the reds in the deepest shadow areas.
