Rubbernecker Blog Stroll

RNDT4-7S_SAK 005

The Stroll starts at the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog where you will find the rules on how to win one of the sets being revealed or even possibly the GRAND PRIZE. If you haven’t started at the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog, you should go there now in order to not miss anything. To win the Flower Silhouettes set revealed on my blog today, you must leave a comment ON THIS POST. A random number will be drawn on Friday, 12:00 Noon.

Here is my phrase clue for the GRAND PRIZE: STAMPS

The Blog Stroll continues at Sherry’s Blog

My card today starts with the newly released Flower Silhouettes set and the Flourish and screen backgrounds that were released last week.  I love how the flourish background goes with the new stamp set!  The technique is Faux Bleach using White Simply Smooth Prism cardstock.  The background was stamped in Distress Embossing Ink and embossed with clear powder.  Next comes the Alcohol inks from the new Country side collection.  The colors in the set include Shell Pink, Willow and Cloudy Blue.  To reveal the embossed image, place a sheet of copy paper over the top of the layer and iron off the embossing powder.  (you will see it melt into the copy paper)  The flourish from Flower Silhouettes was stamped in the corners using Distress Walnut Stain.  The layer was sewn on to Prism Baby Pink Medium and then Spring Willow Medium.  The layers of ribbon sewn on the faux bleach layer are both May Arts – 1” lt. blue woven edge satin & 5/8” variegated organdy.  My little tags measure 1” x 2” and were inked up with the rock n roll technique and the screen background was stamped over the top.  The words are all one long stamp.  I sewed the tags onto a layer of Prism Baby Blue Medium, trimmed and then layered on the Baby Pink Medium.  I accordian folded the tag and mounted it on foam dimensional tape for a little dimension.  The center tag sports more May Arts ribbon including a variegated green fiber and 1/2” Blue/Brown dotted organdy.  Lastly, the beautiful buttons are SEI from the Poppy collection.  The pink ones were smooshed into my Distress Worn Lipstick pad and air dried.  I sanded the edges of some of the buttons for a worn look.  They are sewn to the card using Linen Thread. 

 

Here’s a run down of the supplies:

Prism Paper:  White Simply Smooth, Baby Pink Med., Baby Blue Med, Spring Willow

Stamps:  Flower Silhouettes, Flourish & Screen Backgrounds

Distress Ink:  Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, Shabby Shutters, Worn Lipstick

Alcohol Inks:  Country Side

Miscellaneous:  Clear Embossing Powder, SEI Buttons, Linen Thread, May Arts Ribbons (Rubbernecker is now carrying May Arts Ribbon by the roll.  It will be available by the yard April 21) SEI Buttons, Foam Dimensional Tape
