Splitcoast Challenges- I LOVE these Chicks!!

So, I started working on some Splitcoast Challenges this week. I always see them on the site, but never really took the time to sit down and work on them. And....since I'm so ooo addicted to challenges lately, well, I figured I would give it a try! There is a different challenge posted EVERY day of the week, so if you are looking for a challenge, stop on by and join the fun. The first challenge I completed was Sunday's, the Featured Stamper Challenge. For the Featured Stamper challenges, we are asked to check out a gallery of a fellow SCSer, pick out one of their cards and make a card of our own. While making a card of your own, you must change at least two things on the card, and you must list the changes when you upload it back onto SCS. Fun right?? This week's Featured Stamper is Jessica Rone (Knightrone on SCS) and her work is simply amazing. The card that I used for inspiration is here. I love the color combo that Jessie used for her card. It's Wasabi, Blue Bayou, Soft sky and white. Yummy. So, for my card, I used the same color combo, I changed the main image, embossed the white background layer with my cuttle bug, I used pearls instead of white brads, and my ribbons are slightly different. I also love how this card has lots and lots of layers! Card Recipe: Paper: Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky and Whisper White
Stamps: Unity: Hey Chick
Ink: Wild Wasbi, Blue Bayou and Chocolate Chip
Ribbon: Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou stitched ribbon
Accessories: glitter, pearls, copics to color the image, wasabi sponging around edges, cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder
The next card I worked on was Tuesday's Color Challenge (CC180). The challenge was to use the following colors: Close to cocoa, Ruby Red and Blush Blossom, which you see in my card. Every week, on Tuesday, a new color challege is posted. This is good for me, as I spend a lot of time picking out paper and colors for my projects, and now I will be able to save some VALUABLE stamping time. On this card, I "negative embossed" with Blush Blossom ink, on the white layer. Card Recipe: Paper: Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red, Blush Blossom, and Whisper White.
Stamps: Unity: Hey Chick
Ink: Ruby Red, Blush Blossom and Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Glitter, Chocolate stitched ribbbon, pink grossgrain, copics for coloring image, cuttlebug embossing folder.
Thanks so much for stopping by, get on over to Splitcoast and join in the challenge fun. HAPPY STAMPING!!
