SC947 - This week's Sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

USEIT2023 - Image

I needed to use up another image from my stack of images and thought this one just needed to be colored up. Once she was colored I added her to a designer paper then added a couple of strips with one having a sentiment. The card was finished with a few gems.

Hello

 

MMTPT762 - Be inspired by The Beatles - Hello, Goodbye

USEIT2023 - Image

For my card I used a lot of scrap browns. The background reminds me of the old wood paneling in homes in the 70s. I then used this cute Elizabeth Bell image from my stack of images as she looks like she is wearing bell bottoms very popular when the Beatles were around.

I colored up the image with copics and added the Hello to the panel for the Hello, Goodbye song.

Coffee

 

CAS731 - Keeping Warm (think campfires, coffee/tea, etc.)

For my card I die cut the blue base and layered it on an angle. Next, I stamped the lid to the coffee cup and then masked it and stamped the cup. I then colored it with copics.

I added a crimped piece of kraft cardstock to the center of the cup and then stamped coffee on a banner popping the banner and cup up on dimensionals.

Scrappy Birthday

 

FS835 - This week's very talented Featured Stamper is our sweet friend Janine. I have so many of her cards in my favorites and just love to see what she posts. I chose this amazing card as my INSPIRATION.

For my card I grabbed my black designer paper scraps and die cut a bunch of circles.

Rather than putting them on a black card base I layered them on a white card base so they would stand out more but I did use black as a layer.

Once glued, I sprinkled several gems. I also used a birthday sentiment as Janine used a birthday sentiment on her card.
