Blessed

The Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge is to use inspiring sentiments.


I have wanted to use this inspiring Verve scripture verse for a while now and decided to use it for the challenge, I thought it fit my cowboy image perfectly.  The SU cowboy was heat embossed and water colored with Stampin Up markers.  I added MFT corner dies and bronze stickles to the corners of the verse.  The background wood panel was created with an inked woodgrain embossing folder which was sprayed with water, giving the embossing a softer look.


The faux leather piece was made with rust colored paper and an embossing folder, then chocolate ink was sponged on top.


The roses were made with the Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose stamps and dies.

Supplies:
Stampin Up Wild Wild West - retired
Heat embossing
embossing folders
sponging
Spellbinder label die
MFT Die-namics
Bronze Stickles

Totally Groovy

The Splitcoaststampers Free 4 All challenge is a photo found here.

The inspiration photo seen below, is definitely groovy, so I thought this was the perfect sentiment for my card, along with a large funky flower.  I started with a background of mixed media paper that was stenciled with grit texture paste and sprayed with a soft green.  The flower was made with the Heartfelt Creations Mum and Delightful Daisy leaves, with glitter in the center and the sentiment is by Verve on an My Favorite Things Fishtail Banner Stax Die-namics.

Flamingo in Paradise

I'm bringing this card for the Splitcoaststamper Featured Stamper, Kelly Santi (Miamikel4).  I chose this card to case.


The Heartfelt Creations Tropical Paradise paper collection was cut for the background, cutting out the original center which contained a macaw, and I added another sheet with the flowers behind.  The flamingo, flowers and foliage were sponged and cut out with the matching dies and Nuvo crystal drops were added.
