Hi Everyone. I came home rested and relaxed from my beach vacation and this is my first stamping project since I got home. It is always so fun to go to the beach and visit with my sisters but I always love getting home and sleeping in my own bed. The going back to work part is not so enjoyable.
Today is Rubbernecker Stamps WACKY WEDNESDAY #17, and Shelly is our hostess today. She’s has challenged us to incorporate a tag on our card. You can check out more about the challenge and how you can win a 40% off coupon from Rubbernecker Stamps on the Rubbernecker Blog.
I had lots of fun creating my project using the Flower Silhouettes #468 that will be released on Rubbernecker tomorrow. I chose to work with Daisy D’s designer paper as I thought the pattern would work so well with the flower and stem image. I colored the image using my brand new Tombow Markers and stamped it on a watercolor paper tag created with a Nestabilities tag die. I stamped the image a couple more times on scrap watercolor paper to cut out and pop up on my project. I loved the old-fashioned feel of the designer paper and thought it would be perfect to paper pierce. I almost used a white gel pen to do faux stitching but thought it may be a little too much. I actually considered getting out one of my two sewing machines to sew on this project but since I got home too late it just didn’t happen. Well…actually….I always find an excuse not to get out my sewing machines and I just don’t know why. I guess that’s for another blog post. Maybe I need to see Sherry or Broni for counseling as they do such gorgeous sewing projects.
If you would love a fun read regarding how the Red Hot Mommas got their Tombow Markers you need to check out this article on Sherry’s Walkin’ on the Bad Side (think Jerri Kay). Oh my!!! How wonderful the markers are to work with. I am overjoyed with all the color choices (96) in my full set. The markers can also be purchased one marker at a time to allow you to build your own customized set.
Come play along in the WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge this week. You will have a chance to win a coupon worth 40% off your entire order at Rubbernecker Stamps. The Red-Hot Mommas will be on the stroll again tomorrow with Rubbernecker’s 2 new sets and one new background!
