Treasure and Candy
Ahoy again, Mateys! 
It’s time for another Tuesday Treasure Hunt at Rubbernecker Stamp Co. The treasure will be available for you to find from 4:00 am PST until 9:00 pm PST. You can find the first clue on the Rubbernecker home page here: FIRST CLUE
Now, if you’d like a chance to win some BLOG CANDY this week, just leave me a comment on this post and tell me which color you find yourself using the most of these days. It’s definitely a light aqua or teal for me. I believe it’s got to do with my love of water! Then you can head on over to Kittie’s blog, because she’s giving away some candy too!

Here’s my card today using the stamp Woman Holding Flowers from Rubbernecker’s Stamp Oasis People section.
I had THE MOST FUN coloring this image. I just took my time and played to my heart’s content. Usually I’m always rushing to get things done, so I totally enjoyed this experience. Of course, after coloring it I had to decide what to do with it. I’m not thrilled (especially with the ribbon application), but it’ll do. I do, however, really like the Swarovski crystals and how they make the overall image kind of magical looking!
Thanks for visiting today! Please be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win that blog candy!

Love the coloring and the crystals do add that extra touch! I’ve been over to Rubbernecker and placed my order! I’m loving their stamps!!
Wow, Broni. This is stunning! I love the way you colored this image. I agree with Viv, the crystals add a nice touch. There are so many bright colors that I seem to be grabbing lately, but I think I am drawn more to bright or navy blue lately, too. Maybe I am also craving the ocean. 🙂 Kelly
Wow, what a great image! Your coloring is fantastic…just what this image needed! I like how you did the ribbon and the gems are perfect!!
My favorite color right now also is aqua or turquoise. I use that with lime green very often it seems! Must be a water thing! Have a great day!
wow, this is a beautiful card!
hmmm my current color obsession would be grey tones with tons of brights on top
The shading is amazing. I understand the concept but have difficulty visualizing where the shading belongs on an image. The bold colors are perfect for the stamps image.
I have been drawn to orangy reds. Like a tequila sunrise, cha cha cha.
I just visited the Rubbernecker Stamp site and read they are coming here to St. Paul. Yippee! I will be seeing them next week at the State Fair Grounds. As my DD would say, Awesome!
I have been using a lot of teal and pinks lately. Thanks for the chance to win Blog Candy!
BTW, beautiful card!
Your card is beautiful. Makes me want to run away to the tropics. It seems that no matter how many new colors I get I still find myself with SU’s Old Olive in my hand. I guess old habits are hard to break. Thanks for the blog candy!
Gorgeous coloring Broni, Beautiful card!!
This is a great card! I love it! I find myself using browns alot. I think I’m drawn to it, brown cardstock, brown patterned paper, brown ribbon, and I even color browns alot on my images with my Prismacolor pencils. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy!
I am contantly using brown…almost every card seems like! LOL! Thanks for the chance to win – and cool card! ;0)

Wow!!! Broni…this is gorgeous!
I seem to use Certainly Celery in so many cards lately. I also like purples a lot. Your card is very pretty.
Your card is so vibrant! It makes me smile. I find myself gravitating to light aqua.
It seems to be mainly blues & greens lately. Go figure.
The details on your card look amazing.
Beautiful! I am lovin purples and sage type greens!
WOW Broni! This is gorgeous!
WOW! This is one over-the-top BEAUTIFUL!! RN is fortunate to have you on their dt!!I use a lot of purple & green.
I find myself using a lot of yellow and orange right now. Your card is just beautiful.
I am using tons of Stampin Ups Groovy Guava, often combined with Ruby Red. DianeL
What a gorgeous card! The coloring is so vibrant!
I’ve been using a bit of everything as far as colors when it comes to making cards. One of favorites is kraft. I love it because you can pair any color with it and it looks great!
Oh my gosh! Your card is absolutely beautiful!! the colors that you used are gorgeous!
My goodness…your coloring is so amazing on this, Broni!! Just beautiful!!
I just picked up a stack of the last 10 cards I have made, and the color on all of them was quite a surprise to me—pink! Don’t get me wrong-I like pink. I just didn’t realize I used it that often!! My favorite color is red and then green, so it was kinda strange to me that my most used color wasn’t one of those.
Thanks for asking so that I could learn something about myself, and thanks for offering some blog candy!
By the way, I’m so jealous of your ability to color–you’re good. 😉
At the moment and probably always will be is a mixture of Razzleberry and Mystic Blue from H20 from LuminArte. Gotta love purple and teal…they are both so rich in color…they make me feel like royalty.

Your card is absolutely gorgeous and the colors are so vibrant. I’ve been using a lot of white lately. Putting together a lot a simple cards with white backgrounds and smaller images. Lots of pink too. Pastel pink, bright pink, dark pink, etc. Thanks for offering the blog candy.
