Blue Roses

The Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge this week is the Scor-pal Pinterest Idea board.

For the challenge I did a score design in the bottom part of my background paper.  The circle piece was created with My Favorite Things Stitched circle die-namics and the center was made with the Heartfelt Creations doily die in the Raindrops on Roses Die set.  For the floral arrangement, HFC Botanical Roses were sponged and glittered and leaves were cut with the Botanical Rose leaf die.

Cowboy Card

The Splitcoaststampers Free for All challenge is to make a criss cross card.

I heat embossed and water colored up an older Stampin Up image from the Wild Wild West set.  The background pieces were embossed with embossing folders. The flowers were made with Heartfelt Creations Delightful Daisy and Classic Rose stamps and dies, with various leftover HFC vegitation.  It was finished off with twine and Nuvo crystal drops.

Woodland Buck

The Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It Challenge is to use earth colors to celebrate Earth Day.

I accented my buck, cut from the Heartfelt Creations Woodsy Wonderland Paper Collection, with a frame embossed with an inked wood grain embossing folder.  The flowers and leaves around it were left over from other projects, the yellow flowers were made with the HFC Sunflower and the white flower with the HFC Daisy.

Tropical Paradise

Today for the Splitcoaststampers sketch, I wanted to play with the new Heartfelt Creations Tropical Creations Collection.

I had some fun with the background, I used a variety of spray inks to get a mottled shimmery effect.  The piece on the left was created with an inked embossing folder on lavender card stock.  The main cockatoo image was heat embossed and water colored with Stampin Up markers and the flowers and leaves were stamped, cut out with corresponding dies and sponged.  I added prills and glitter to the flowers and 3D Crystal Lacquer to some of the leaves.  If you'd like some tips on flower shaping, check out this video from Heartfelt Creations.

Pretty Fish

The Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It challenge is and aquarium this week.

For my aquarium, I used the Under the Sea Collection from HFC.  All of the images were heat embossed in black and water colored with markers, except for the hibiscus flowers which were sponged with ink.  The back window was painted with 3d stamp paint in copper to give it a metal look.  For the grassy pieces around the fish, I took the jelly fish from the collection and turned it upside down to give me a sea grass look and used the coral piece at the bottom.

Dove Tag Card

Today I'm combining the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge and the Sketch Challenge.

The creamy background was stenciled with crackle texture paste, and the teal piece was dry embossed with an ef.  The tag was taken from the HFC Flowering Dogwood Paper collection and glitter and seambinding ribbon added.  Flowers from the HFC Delightful Daisy (largest flower), Flowering Dogwood (small pale blue flower) and the Classic Rose Sets (medium teal flowers) were used in the bouquet.

Unfailing Love

Our Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers is Donna, aka Pink_Lady, I chose this card to case and combined it with the Technique challenge - Shadow Stamping.

I love the beautiful pink rose on Donna's card, I used the HFC Poppy to create a camellia-like flower.  Donna had a wonderful textured background and I also acheived dimension with texture paste and a stencil.  For the Technique Challenge I double stamped a verse from the HFC Uplifting Scriptures stamp set.  The lace border is from the HFC Fleur Border Basics.  The card was finished off with glitter and Nuvo Carnation Pink Crystal Drops.
