2 for You Tuesdays #4 and some candy!
Here we are again – another Tuesday! Let’s go~
RUBBERNECKER – RBC15
~~~
Are you ready for the Rubbernecker Treasure Hunt?
All you have to do is head over to the Rubbernecker Home Page and start with the first clue. You can also read about all the details there, in case you’re new to the Treasure Hunt. So head over there, matey, and find that free rubbah!
Today is also Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge day! Today’s challenge is a sketch. You can find it HERE and all the details for all the blogger challenges on Jeanne’s blog on this page.
Here’s my card using the sketch and another beautiful image from Jeanne’s own stamp collection (Jeanne Streiff Collection):
The name of this stamp set is Flora & Flairs and it’s gorgeous! The images are silhouettes but you can paint, ink or color the stamp and it’s no longer just a silhouette! So versatile!
I inked the flower with Ranger Distress tattered rose ink and dabbed the tea dye ink pad on it. Then I inked the leaves with old paper ink and dabbed the peeled paint ink pad on them. Stamped the image on blush paper and voila! A watercolored image! I cut and embossed the oval with my Nestabilties and, leaving the die on the cardstock, sponged around the edges with tea dye ink.
The right edge of the guava layer was punched with a Martha Stewart Simple Scallop punch. I added aqua Stickles to the larger holes at each scallop edge.
I sewed the patterned paper to the guava cardstock after sponging the edges of both pieces with brushed corduroy ink. Then I tied the guava ribbon around the layers and added another knot of kraft ribbon and a decorative pin.
The sentiment was stamped with tea dye ink.
You can play along too! Simply upload your card or project using Rubbernecker images and the sketch and link it to Jeanne’s blog post for today. If you post to SCS, please use the keyword code RBC15. You’ll have a chance to win the monthly drawing for a $25 Rubbernecker Bucks gift certificate!

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE008
~~~
Today’s Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge card is a bright one. Don’t even ask me how much I LOVE this Inkadinkado Duet stamp or the fantastic Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine paper! No, I said don’t ask. I’m speechless with how much I am in love with both of these, and together…oh my! It’s just a good thing the drool didn’t get all over this card!
The challenge for today was “Anything goes!”. Whoop, whoop! I love that kind of challenge! I was just dying to use some of this paper. Every design in this collection is bright and warm and happy! Would you look at how it’s already got a decorative bottom edge! There’s almost no need for any embellishments, because it could pretty much stand on it’s own as far as an eye-pleasing element is concerned. (You can click on the photo to see a larger version.)
The bird duo is just adorable! I’ve named them Sam and Junior! I do believe that Sam is telling Junior a thing or two about what the big, bad world is like! And Junior is in awe of how much Sam knows! (Snort! I must be in my little fantasy world again!)
There’s no need for any instructions on this card. It’s very straightforward. Coloring with Copic markers, cutting and embossing with Nestabilties, piercing, and tying knots. Nothing to it! But I love it!
If you’d like to play along, upload a card using something from Lindsey’s shop, and use the keyword JBE008. Then link your card to Lindsey’s new store blog.
