For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC895), we’re visiting Mud Pie & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS lovely picture. I really liked all the hearts in different papers so I based my card on that.

My card is pretty easy..I die cut the white background panel w/ a stitched rectangle then ran it thru w/ the quilted stitch piercing die. All the hearts were die cut out of various watercolor & shaving cream background scraps I had in my stash. I elected not to use the open outlines & used only the solid centers of the hearts. After arranging them, I stamped & die cut the greeting then added a narrow turquoise layer underneath.

The hearts were all popped up just a bit before attaching to the white pierced layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Supplies:

Memento Inks

Staples 110# White Card Stock

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS832), so a big congrats to Kate! After much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the tag & hearts, but used different images, dies &  straightened my layout (I have problems w/ tilted layouts).

After coloring my bunnies, I die cut them along w/ the medium tag of the set. The large heart behind them is from a separate set & I only inked the outline, colored it then fussy cut it. I had some heart shaped brads so I added one to the top of the tag. After stamping my greeting and the little hearts, I put it all together.

The bunnies are popped up w/ fun foam. I used a glaze pen to add some shine on a few areas.

Here are the Comics I used:

A big congrats to Kristine, the newest Featured Stamper (FS791) on Splitcoast. She has a beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the cute dog theme but ended up changing most everything else. I used different stamps, dies & colors & used fewer layers w/ no designer paper.

After coloring the cute dog couple, I die cut them along w/ a few extra blanks in order to pop them up a bit. The kraft bg was stamped w/ a cheesecloth bg & cinnamon ink. I wanted a narrow, dk brown layer behind the dogs, but didn’t have the right color so I used a Copic marker to color just around the edges that would show before attaching it. The outline heart was also colored w/ Copics & I used a clear glaze pen to add some shine & dimension to the tiny hearts above the greeting & also the dogs’ eyes.

These are the Copics I used:
