Splashes of Watercolor

Well, it’s Tuesday again and I’m not actually at home right now. I’m on vacation this week and have scheduled this post to release on Tuesday morning. So I hope it’s really Tuesday today and I haven’t messed things up!!

I’ll be brief with my card descriptions today. Here we go:

RUBBERNECKER – RBC18

~~~

Today is Treasure Hunt Tuesday at Rubbernecker Stamp Co. You can find the first clue on the HOME PAGE and when you find the treasure and make a purchase, the treasure is yours!

BLOG CANDY TODAY IS BEING OFFERED BY SHELLY AND CANDY!

As you may know, today is also Rubbernecker Bloggers Challenge day! Today, Jeanne has issued the challenge to make an ANIMAL CARD. You know, I didn’t realize that I have VERY FEW Rubbernecker animal images. I guess I’m just going to have to get some more! In the meantime, I’m using my baby bear image for my card today.

The base is wild wasabi and the corners are rounded and a border was pierced. The scalloped piece of Two Scoops paper was cut and embossed using Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug, as was the scalloped mat around my little bear. Baby Bear was colored with Copic markers and I sponged a little groovy guava around the edges. I stamped only a portion of the sentiment onto a vellum heart tag and tied it to the wasabi ribbon.

Be sure to check out the other DT members challenge cards:

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE011

~~~

Today’s Jacksonbelle challenge for the design team was to case another DT member. We were assigned “partners”. Well, oh my! My partner is Elizebeth Neumann! Can you imagine how hard it was to choose just one of her cards to case?? Just look at these wonderful cards – ebethneu. After numerous views throughout her entire gallery, I kept coming back to this card:

So this is the one I decided to case. I kept the general color theme, the layout, the scalloped bottom edge and ribbon placement. I also popped up the main focus image on mounting tape. The difference lies in the stamp sets used and the fact that I watercolored my image and Elizebeth paper-pieced hers. So here’s mine:

I just fell in love with this Inkadinkado stamp the first time I saw it. I’m a beach lover, you know! And I really love how my card turned out. I wouldn’t have been able to come up with it without Elizebeth’s great inspiration! Thanks, Beth!!! We definitely need to try this challenge again!!
