It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC865) this week! We’re visiting Old Farmer’s Almanac & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pretty picture.
I used the dies included in the Blessing Box for my tropical card. The palm trees, flamingo, beach chair, ground & Aloha were die cut twice..once out of purple & once out of pink & stacked. The frame was cut out of a lighter purple & I used a large oval die to cut out the center & I used a smaller oval to cut out the darker purple layer to put inside it.
The sunset scene behind it is a from the Sunset Skies slimline pad. All of the die cut elements were popped up for dimension.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC837), we’re visiting Emerlyn Closet & their Pinterest Board, where I found THIS lovely image.
For my slimline card, I started w/ a panel of turquoise which I spritzed w/ bleach, then die cut. The pine boughs were stamped all down the left side & colored in w/ Copics. The pinecones, leaves & berries were stamped on white, colored & die cut w/ their matching dies. When I started to arrange them on top of the pine boughs, the narrow white outline around them seemed too bright. Instead of trimming them all, I took a Copic close to the bg color & went around the edges to make them blend in a little better. A fine line black marker was used to draw the branches to the berries. The cones, leaves & some of the berries were popped up a bit for dimension. I used a white Posca paint pen to add “snow” to the images. For the greeting, I used the same die as the turquoise panel to get the width, but moved the top & bottom in to make it much narrower, height-wise.
These are the Copics I used:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC829) we’re visiting a Pinterest Umbrella Board where I found THIS lovely umbrella.
To make my slimline card, I taped down the tree section of the 2 part stencil & sponged in the blues for the bg. The stencil masks out only the birches so they stay white, or whatever color base you’re using. After removing it, I taped down the second stencil part that gives the dark lines on the trees & used the darkest gray ink to sponge those. I also used a few gray Copics along the sides of the birches to add a little dimension to them. The leaves were all stamped, colored & die cut w/ their coordinating dies. Some were popped up w/ foam & others were attached flat. The greeting was die cut w/ a tag die & to get the same edge on both sides, I cut it half way, turned the die around, matched it up & cut the other half.
Here are the Copics I used:
