2 for You Tuesdays #3
Good morning everyone! I can’t believe it’s Tuesday again already. My, how the weeks fly by and the weekends pass much too quickly!
I’d like to thank you all again for participating in my blog candy giveaway. (I’ve got to think of a more distinct name for that. Any suggestions?) I wish I could have sent you all a goody!
Let’s get started!
RUBBERNECKER
~~~
You know…sometimes I just like living in a fantasy world! It never hurts to dream of princesses, dragons and castles does it? How about pirates too?
Today (4am -9pm PST) is Tuesday Treasure Hunt day at Rubbernecker Stamp Co! For Treasure Hunt details and the first clue —-> Click HERE to go the Rubbernecker Home Page. Treasure Hunt Blog Candy is being offered by Candy and Shelly.
Today’s Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge (RBC14) is to make a card using BLACK AND WHITE WITH JUST A POP OF COLOR.
Please link your card or project back to Jeanne’s challenge post using at least one Rubbernecker (or Stamp Oasis, KK Originals or Jeanne Streiff Collection image) to be entered in a random monthly prize drawing.

Check out the Rubbernecker DT’s challenge cards!
Like I mentioned above, my card is all about a fantasy world. I believe!
I’ve used all black and white with celery green being my only color. The castle is colored in with Copic markers in shades of gray, then the dragon and other highlights were colored with green markers. I also added lots of Stardust Stickles to the towers, the water and to the sentiment. I punched 3 holes in the image layer and added the rhinestone stickers inside the holes onto the black layer.
Do you believe??

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS
~~~~
This is my card for the Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge JBE007.
Lindsey got in this beautiful new Chloe Marie paper from Daisy D and sent us all some to play with. Just look at how beautifully textured it appears. I chose to make a simple card with it and just let the paper take center stage.
Isn’t it just scrumptious?? I used a sentiment from the Inkadinkado Chelsea Sentiments collection and a tiny butterfly form the Basic Grey Grow A Garden stamp set. A little wonky stitching in 2 of the corners, a scalloped circle raised on mounting tape for the sentiment and a Making Memories Cheeky Board Clip, and that’s it!
Please be sure to stop by the other Design Team members’ blogs to check out their cards:

Wow Broni, you have been very busy!!! I really like your RN castle! Your coloring is awesome. Your jbelle card is wonderful too! It is so simple but so lovely!!!
You are one busy gal! I absolutely love that castle. Your coloring is stunning! For homeschool next fall, we are studying Middle Ages in history and literature so my DD loves all things castles, fairies, dragons! You are so enabling me- teeheehee! Love your JBE challenge card! I don’t think I got any of those papers in my set, is the black part of the paper? I accented with it on my card but it was by total accident! Love how you “popped” the focal point with the black mat and cute pink clip- awesome!
Such diversity. I love the castle card….such fantasy and then the ultra modern look of the second card. Both are great. Thanks for sharing.

There’s so much texture in this paper! It’s fabulous! I love your card, Broni!
Oops! Two cards in one post…sorry! I wanted to tell you I have a stamp very similar to your castle. Gosh, I’d almost forgotten about it. I’ve used it with a fairy stamp, both of which were given to me by my son many years ago. Do you think I’ll ever part with those stamps? No!! I love the way you shaded the green around your castle. It’s really a very pretty card and, yes, I believe!
The texture in that paper is gorgeous! Love the corner stitching!
OMGOSH! HOW DARLING!!! I LOVE the clip, stitches, it’s just fantastic!!!!!!! LOVE the RN card too!! WOW! 😀
I love both of these, Broni!! I totally love your castle card, and your coloring is beautiful!! Your Best Wishes card had such beautiful papers, and I love your stitching and clip!!
Two wonderful cards, Broni! That castle is FABULOUS! And I LOVE the paper on the second card. I’ve been trying to resist but I should just give in and order it! I love the stitches in the corners.
