Happy 4th of July! It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge this week & we’re heading to Hometalk. Talk about a rabbit hole..I could get lost in there for days, checking out all the fab DIY projects. For my card, I was inspired by THIS. The simple, nautical wreath turned into a little beach & sailboat scene inside a wreath. 
After die cutting a white & a navy circle frame, I cut pieces of the navy one, edged them w/ a gold Krylon pen & attached them to the white frame. On the circle inside the frame, I added waves, a sailboat, some palm trees & a beach umbrella. For the sand, I cut the Kraft c/s, stamped it w/ a splatter image & white ink, then inked the top edges w/ the white ink. 

Here’s the inside.

A wonderful site for the Inspiration Challenge! There were many I loved but I was really drawn to THIS. I love the white snowflakes on the deep red background.

My card was pretty easy..I started by white embossing the snowflake onto red card stock then I sponged around the edges w/ Distress inks in various dark reds & finally a little black on the very edges.

I also used the Reverse Snowflake die to die cut some white snowflakes & popped them up a little on top. 

Here’s a look at the inside.

Welcome to the Oct #2 Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps! 
For my Thanksgiving Wreath card, I stamped the wreath w/ the cocoa ink & colored w/ Copics before die cutting it w/ a stitched circle die. The brown window frame was die cut as well as a piece of patterned paper. The greeting was added to a couple of stacked ribbon tags & I also used a dk brown Copic to color the ribbon (it was white). I had some multi color leaves that were from the Reverse Leaf die left over from another project so I added those, too. This is also for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC672) & THIS was my inspiration.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
