The super-talented Shelly (Stamp with Shelly) has issued a challenge on the Rubbernecker Stamp Company Blog: Make a Christmas card using untraditional colors.
Here is what I came up with:
The Snowy Night image was stamped with Pear Tart Memento--the pad is quite juicy so I was able to heat emboss the image with clear embossing powder.
The Hope and Love sentiment was stamped over top with StazOn Jet Black.
I sponged Broken China Tim Holtz Distress Ink on the bottom and Concord Grape Tim Holtz Distress Ink on the top.
The cardstock is from Bazzill. I embellished with jewels and stickles.
I hope you have a chance to play along and then link your project to the Rubbernecker Stamp Company Blog!!

For Rubbernecker Blog Challenge #13, the queen of bad, Sherry, is hosting the challenge.
She has challenged us to make a card in any shape other than the standard 4.25x5.5. It can be a long or tall card, or any other shape you want it to be. Your card must also include snowflakes! I sure hope you can play along, too!!
The stamps, Wreath with Bow and Music Background were stamped with VersaMark and embossed with white embossing powder. I watercolored the wreath using re-inkers. As you can see, I cut out the image with a Nestabilities die and embossed the background with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
I hope you can join us for this challenge--it is perfect for Christmas cards, tags, or decorations. Don't forget to check out the other design team members for MORE inspiration!!
Just a quick post today to show you a card:
This was a fun one to do. I used the flight lines from the Bees Sheet to make a flight path around the card. It was fun to do--I did learn one thing, however. NUMBER THE SQUARES. I got them jumbled as I was matting them--and it took me a while to get them back in line.
I bet you are like me--busy as a bee, today. AND that is why this post is short!
Have a great weekend!

Well, it looks like you NEED to go shopping again!
Today's Rubbernecker Blog Challenge is to use fibers and NOT ribbon! The sweet Bev (Tex) Gerard is hosting the challenge this week.
This is a 2.75" x 4" card. I have made it to go on a gift--Like a tag. I have had this WILD white fiber for YEARS--and now it is going to get used. I am making a flock of these tags. The dp was from Hobby Lobby last year and the colored cardstock is from Bazzill.
The image is Maurice from Rubbernecker Stamp Company. Perhaps for this color scheme he should be Moira. (BTW--He is on sale right now!!)
Check out the rest of the designers' creations too!!
And don't forget:
Thanks for stopping by!!!
