It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS678) this week, so a big congrats to JJ Barrett (aka IndigosMom)! JJ has a lovely, colorful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the blue flower & chevron embossing, but used different images & dies, different embossing folder & a different layout.

To me, the blue, white & yellow color combo looks so fresh & crisp. After I colored the flowers, I die cut them, doing a little out of the box cutting to lift a couple of the petals on top of the die cut zigzag frame I attached on top. The script was heat embossed w/ white ink & white powder onto the cobalt blue strip. The white bg was dry embossed & I actually used the back side because I liked it a little better for this. On the Love die cut, I cut it in white & also blue, then spliced them together, using the cut off parts underneath their opposites for a double stack.

Here are the Copics I used. I also used yellow & ultramarine Prismacolor Pencils to add depth to the colors.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC698), we’re going to the Country Door & I chose THIS for my inspiration. That little pig really made me smile 😀 

My card is pretty CAS. I used a stencil & the pink Distress inks to partially sponge the card front. I stamped the Easter piggy, masked him & used a straight mask across the ground & partially sponged the green inks upward from mask. After removing the masks, I colored everything & stamped the greeting. Here’s the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Such fun spring colors for today’s Color Challenge (CC729) on Splitcoast! They really are perfect for an Easter card..even if it’s a silly one. 

This card is pretty CAS & all on one layer. The big bunny head image is one of my faves so I stamped him, drew some paws where I wanted them, then masked them & stamped the brick wall. With the masks still in place, I sponged in the sky then removed the masks & colored everything. The little Easter eggs (jelly bean image) & sign were fussy cut & added.
