A Challenge That's Been A Long Time Coming!

Have I ever told you how much I love Rubbernecker Stamps? If I have it's probably been a while...a long while! I can't even remember the last time I created with them!

I have been meaning to attempt the challenges on the Rubbernecker Blog, but have found them to be a challenge within themselves to complete--until now! I'm so excited to say that I've completed this week's color challenge to use Olive, Pumpkin, and Summer Yellow!

I just love this little cub image--can you say cute?!?! I used the Cut Out card technique on SCS to cut him out with my Nesties. Normally when using Nesties I would have cut his paws off, but this technique let me keep his paws still in the picture. Such a neat technique, I'm glad I found it yesterday while browsing past Technique Lovers challenges.



I used Lime Green Stickles on his little eyes to give this card a little bling, and I think it made him almost creepy looking! LOL! What do you think?

Under The Sea!

Happy Friday!

Today's Fun Filled Friday has an "Under the Sea" theme! What could be better then the Rubbernecker fish for this challenge? I was glad to use them. It's been a while since I've used my Rubbernecker Stamps.

I also used this week's Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge (SC196) for this card, AND I think it is also fitting for the Rubbernecker Challenge for this week--to use lots of embellishments. Hopefully, my embellishment list counts: Pattern paper, Cuttlebug embossing, brads, ribbon, staples, and Stickles!

The fish were colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I then used markers to outline them. I used blue chalk for the water and used blue ink on a sponge dauber to give the water some texture. I also inked the edges around the image with blue ink. The image was then layered with dark blue cardstock

Next, I created the panels seen on the SCS196 sketch. I used patterned paper and light blue cardstock with one, and the other I ran light blue cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the Tiny Bubbles Embossing Folder to create a textured background. This piece was matted with dark blue cardstock as well.

I assembled/adhered these panels like in the sketch and added polka dotted dark blue ribbon behind the image. I added just a touch of ribbon at the bottom left of the image with a blue staple, and added a dark blue brad to the 3 corners of the embossed panel.

I adhered the matted image/panel piece to a light blue cardstock base that measures 6.5" x 5."
This ended up up be a pretty good size card, huh?

As a finishing touch, I added Glitter Glue to each fish and the worm. Not sure if this was such as wise thing to do, as I think it is now over done. What do you think? Do you think the glitter is too much? However, it does count as another embellishment for the Rubbernecker challenge!

Stamps: "Luncheon Meet" by Rubbernecker
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Colorbox Fluid Chalk in Azurite Blue
Paper: Smooth white cardstock by Office Depot, Bazzill cardstock, Cardstock by Paper Reflections, Pattern Paper-Creative Imaginations Cyan Dot by Jones Inc.
Accessories: Chalk by Inkadinkado, sponge dauber, Stickles and Glitter Glue, Ribbon by Pebbles Inc., Blue staple unknown, Cuttlebug and Tiny Bubbles embossing folder, brads by Making Memories.

Hope you enjoyed "Sea-ing" my card today, and I appreciate your visit!

Did you get a chance to play with our "Under the Sea" theme. Leave me a link to your "Under the Sea" project. I'd love to "sea" it! LOL!

Hope your Friday is an easy one, and that your weekend is great!

Rubbernecker Challenge 18 and Stamp Shack Color Challenge!

For today's post, I've made one card to satisfy 2 different challenges. The first challenge was for this week's Rubbernecker Blog Challenge to use an animal image from their company and the second was for the Color challenge on the Stamp Shack, using faded denim, dark blue, ruby red, and white.

The animal image is "Flag Chickie" by Rubbernecker Stamps, and the color challenge colors are perfect for a Patriotic card. It's July 17th. It's not too late for a Patriotic 4th of July card, is it?

• Stamps: Flag Chickie by Rubbernecker Stamps
• Ink: Staz On Jet Black
• Paper: Cardstock is Bazzill, patterned paper is by the Paper Studio
• Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Marvy Uchida scallop punches, circle Coluzzle, red Colorbox chalk ink, Brads by Joann's Scrap essentials and American Crafts, Ribbon by Offray.

Kimmy and I are still looking for some ideas for our Reader inspired Fun Filled Friday challenge. Please visit this post and challenge us with your comments.
