Wacky Wednesday #13

It’s Wednesday again and that means it’s time for another Rubbernecker challenge.  Today, the challenge is to incorporate frames of any kind.  Use stamps, die cuts, rub on’s, stickers, metal embellishments, chipboard etc….

The stamps used today will be released by Rubbernecker on Thursday May 28.  You will want to check the Rubbernecker Blog and join the blog stroll tomorrow for a chance to win free stamps and see all the fabulous creations the DT has come up with.  I used images from 2 new Inchie sets, flourish inchies & butterfly inchies on my card.  The frames are Spellbinders Frameabilities/classic frames and the embossed mauve layer is Spellbinders impressabilities/butterfly.    The frame is cut\embossed using Coredinations Black Magic/spellcaster cardstock.  I only used a sheet of the black cardstock that had the mauve core and back.  The center of the frame is the reverse side of the large frame center.  To highlight the embossed images, the cardstock was lightly sanded to reveal the colored core.  One of the flourish inchies was stamped around the border of the striped designer paper .

Wacky Wednesday #12 Inchies!

Candy is the challenge hostess today at the Rubbernecker Stamp Blog and the challenge is to use inchies on your card or project. Have you seen the fun inchie sets Mr. Rubbernecker has released lately? I am combining the inchie challenge with the Featured Stamper challenge from this week on Splitcoast. The FS is our very own Red Hot Momma Joan Ervin! Her gallery at SC is a treat to look through, I chose to case the card found HERE.

You know, I just realized that my cards are always more neutral shades. I love color and Red is my favorite. You would think I would gravitate to these colors with my work. The colors today came about because I was thinking of a Latte or coffee w/ cream. Here’s the details:

Stamps: Coffee & Tea Inchies 424

Ink: Distress Walnut Stain. Alcohol Inks/Currant, Mushroom, Gold

Paper: Prism Tawny Medium, Suede Brown Dk., Sugar Cream. 7gypsies Nottinghill 6 x 6 paper pad.

Accessories: Scalloped Sq/ Nestabilities, Fragments, Mini Tan Brads, Sakura glaze pen/black, Ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch.

Rubbernecker Blog Stroll/Stamp Release Day!

Good morning and welcome to the Rubbernecker Blog Stroll. Today, Rubbernecker Stamps releases SIX (6) new sets that Mr. Rubbernecker has worked very hard to create!

To celebrate this release, we invite you to Blog Stroll along with the Rubbernecker Red-Hot Mommas. The Stroll begins at the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog where you will find the guidelines on how to win one of the five sets being given away during this release. If you haven’t started at the Rubbernecker Blog, you should go start there where you’ll find the first clue to begin your Stroll.

My Phrase clue is: at Rubbernecker

The Blog Stroll continues at Sherry’s Blog where you will find the next phrase clue.

My sample today uses the newly released Flourish 463 set as well as Wildflowers 465 & Spring Inchies 425. The background stamp is Abstract Floral and the sentiment is from Fashion Icons 456. To start, the purple layer was stamped using Castaway ink and ironed to get the bleached look. I punched the edge with an EK Success victorian punch and edged it with flat pearls. The sentiment was stamped with Adirondack white ink. The dress was made using Spellbinders Classic Heart (3rd from the smallest) for the bodice, Classic Ovals (largest) and Classic Scallop Rectangle Lg. for the hemline. The dress was die cut from Prism Crabapple pink cardstock and stamped with the flourishes and castaway pad to get the sublte white bleaching. I overstamped with the flourish stamp in black and did the top with the small flower. The edges of the dress were sponged with Distress worn lipstick ink. I finished the dress with May Arts ribbon, a stamped toile flower and flat pearls. There is also a shimmer mist made with Perfect Pearls/blush/tattered rose reinker/water for a little glitz. The dress is raised on foam dimensional tape.

Stamps: Flourish 463, Wildflowers 465, Spring Inchies 425, Fashion Icons 456, Abstract Floral

Ink: Worn Lipstick Distress, Tattered Rose reinker, Black Soot, Castaway Pad

Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, Mystic Purple, Crabapple

Wacky Wednesday #11

 

It’s Sherry’s turn to host the  challenge over at the Rubbernecker Stamp Company blog today. 

The Challenge is to use stitching on your project.  This could be by machine, hand, faux…. Come join the fun and play along.  The stamps used today will be released by Rubbernecker on Thursday May 14.  You will want to check the Rubbernecker Blog and join the blog stroll tomorrow for a chance to win free stamps and see all the fabulous creations the DT has come up with.

The flourishes and butterflies on my base layer were heat embossed using Distress powder, then misted with distress reinkers mixed with water.  The butterflies are highlighted with a Sakura gel pen.  The metal corner brads were white, so I used alcohol inks to make them match the card and then stamped the flourish on them with Stazon Black ink.  The believe strip is all one sticker that I stitched to add dimension.  Check out all the awesome stamps being released by Rubbernecker tomorrow.  The design team has lots of sneak peeks for you today!
