Seaside Inspiration

 Sometimes I need a jump start when I start creating.  Color is my usual starting place.  I find the Design Seeds website quite inspiring. I pin many of my favorites to a board on Pinterest.

This particular seed, I could no longer find on the Design Seeds website, but it seemed to be the place to start with this image.  I like the cool light teal paired with the warm grays.

Details:

• Stamps: all from Rubbernecker: Summer Girl Sunny and Fantasy Vine (You can do a search for these stamps in the rubber stamps area of the Rubbernecker website.)
• Papers: Cardstock from Bazzil and bristol smooth paper;
• Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black; Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Pumice Stone; black pigment pen; Copic Markers;
• Accessories: Foam tape and ribbon;

Happy Mother's Day

While growing up reading was an important part of the day.  Trips to the library were at least as regular as trips to the grocery store.

Since I now work in the library, I thought this image was a good one.  The image is from A Day with Daisies.
I have colored the image with our hair colors from yester-year.  (though I dye my hair, I have more grey hair than she does)

The image is colored with Copic Markers and the embossed base uses an embossing folder from Stampin' Up!

I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
And I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog!

Chevrons!

Mr. Rubbernecker listened to my plea for "Chevrons"!

I love this new background called "Horizontal Chevrons".

I stamped it on white cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I sponged from the top and bottom with ink to create a fade.

The girl ("Fern") was stamped with memento ink and colored with Copic Markers. Her sunglasses have a touch of glossy accents.

Supply Details:

• Stamps: "Fern", "Horizontal Chevrons", "Brightens My Day" (sentiment), all from Rubbernecker Stamp Company
• Paper: White cardstock
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint

I think she is pretty cute! ;)
