The two challenges today on Splitcoast, the CAS281 (a color challenge) and the TLC490 (stamp, punch) seemed doable as a combination, so that was the direction I went.  My card isn’t quite as clean & simple as I originally intended, but it’s close enough for me, since most everything is punched or die cut. 

The fun greeting was stamped on a large die cut tag and again a few times on scrap pieces. I used a multi tag punch to punch out parts of the greeting, then added a some color w/ my Copics and popped them up on top of the original greeting. The teapot & cup were die cut and I added a scrap behind the roses parts that I also added color. The peach doily was die cut as well as the white & coral layers. 

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

For my card, I die cut the teapot & teacup in white, then lightly embossed them only on lt yellow card stock. I used yellow & yellow/orange Copic markers to add some additional color to the embossed yellow roses, then trimmed to fit under the white die cut versions. I came across a previously die cut white oval frame & used the same Copics to add color to match. I did the same with the larger, yellow/orange mat. The printed paper was added underneath for contrast. On the larger piece of designer paper, I stamped the tea border with the distress ink and added some of the yellow/orange color to it as well. The layout is a bit non-standard but I had some pieces of designer paper left from another project and didn’t want them to go to waste. One word of the tea border was stamped on white and I used a multi tag punch to punch out the one little “tea bag” tag to add to the cup. I added a printed navy Candi dot in the upper left for balance.

What a terrific Free For All (F4A98) challenge! Quite a laundry list of items and I hope I included them all. This is also for yesterday’s WT challenge (WT365), a birthday card.

Let’s see…we were to use a die cut – my teapot and tea bag are die cuts, the partial doily is a die cut. A 3D flower- my flower is a spiral blossom die cut that I inked and rolled up. Pearls- I used three little silver pearls in the upper left corner. Embossing folder- well, I used a texture thingie of sorts. I used a piece of plastic canvas mesh in the embossing machine to add the texture to the teapot and the burgundy layer behind the greeting. (Greeting is Our Daily Bread designs). And designer paper- I used it for the teapot and the background layer.

For the WT challenge, we were to make a birthday card. So I think I’m covered. The finished card is 5 inches square.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
