Splashes of Watercolor

Another Tuesday! Yay! I have 2 more cards for you today.

But before we get to those, I’d just like to share a couple of photos with you. I know you’ve probably already seen a very similar one on Sherry’s, Jeanne’s and Kittie’s blogs, but I just had to have one on mine too! These are the best girls in the world! I had a blast with them, even if it did rain practically the whole time we were in Florida! They are the most gracious and welcoming people I know and I’m just so happy to call them my friends! I miss you guys so much!!!!

And here is one of Pat and Dave, the Rubbernecker owners, who are also such wonderful people and so much fun! They’re relaxing after the first day of the show.

Ok, sniff, sniff. I guess we should get on with the post. Ready?

Today Tami Mayberry has some BLOG CANDY for you! Check out her blog for a chance to win!

Today is also Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge day! The challenge is to use chipboard and I’ve combined it with the CPS sketch for this week - CPS71 - because Rubbernecker is sponsoring this week’s sketch! You can find the Rubbernecker challenge HERE and all the details for all the blogger challenges on Jeanne’s blog on this page.

I just love this Stamp Oasis image. These island women are absolutely wonderful to watercolor!

The challenge was to use chipboard so my glittery star is a piece of Tim Holtz mini Grunge, painted with a Copic marker and then covered with Icicle Stickles. I used my Janome sewing machine to make the wonky (ok, extra-wonky) stitching around the edges.

Check out the other DT member’s blogs for more challenge cards. You can find the links in the left had column.

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS - JBE009

~~~

The Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge today is a color challenge - use bashful blue, real red, and basic black.  Easy!

I KNEW I would use this cat from the Inkadinkado Cats collection of clear stamps.  I’m a cat person, but I did get the Dogs collection too!

This is really a simple card.  I’ve been leaning towards those a little more lately.  It may have something to do with having limited time!

Please play along with us!  Use keyword JBE009 when you upload to SCS so we can find your cards!  Be sure to check out the challenge cards made by the other design team members too.  Their links are in the left hand column.

I love this fresh, crisp color combination!  The black really makes everything pop!  And what a fun stamp set to play with.  I love all of the images.

Thanks for visiting today!  I’ll see you next time!
