You Can't Buy Happiness...

But you can buy coffee and it's the same thing. 😉 Which brings me to today's card and the only way to start off a Monday... COFFEE! Here is a new Rubbernecker card from me with a new sentiment stamp called "Can't Buy Happiness" and "Corinne":

Corinne and You Can't Buy Happiness

My paper is from Stampin' Up. I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils. I was going to use Copics but I used the wrong ink to stamp the image with so I went with pencils instead of re-stamping the image. I added a little pink mesh ribbon to the mat, and used By Diezyne dies for the die cuts. Both of the stamps I used are red rubber. I like rubber better than the clear stamps, just because of how they stamp, but I do like to see exactly where the image is going with some stamps. It helps to align things. I guess both have their perks.

Tomorrow is the start of another challenge on the BLOG, and our challenge team is going to have some amazing inspiration for you. Make sure you are visiting the blog every other Tuesday to see what the new theme is. You will have a chance to win a $25 or $15 gift certificate for first and second place respectively.

Hope, Faith, and Miracles

It's Sweet Sunday at the Rubbernecker Stampsblog and I have a perfect sentiment for a Sunday: Hope, Faith, and Miracles. The new sentiment stamp Miracles Happen along with the Leaf Cross rubber stamp are the highlights of my card today.

Leaf Cross

I heat embossed both of my stamps today. The cross is done with Glacier embossing powder, the sentiment is done with Ebony from Recollections (by Michael's). I used Stitched Oval die cuts from By DieZyne and the Moroccan Screen embossing folder from Cuttlebug. The blue paper and the white cardstock is from Stampin' Up, the other is from Recollections.

Make sure you stop by the BLOG to check out the newest challenge. It runs for one more week, so don't let time run out! There are $25 and $15 gift certificates up for grabs.

LOVE

Love is All You Need... So here you go... My card to start off Rubbernecker Stamps Team 1 week of awesome stamping inspiration:

All You Need

I used "All You Need" for my card. I heat embossed it using Versamark ink and Recollections Raspberry embossing powder. My die cut is from Stampin' Up, as is all the paper. The burlap I picked up at the dollar store. The oval stitched dies are from By DieZyne.

Anything Goes Challenge at Aurora Wings

Happy Monday! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. I will be spending the last weekend of summer before school starts on the lake (weather permitting). I got this little project finished up for our newest challenge at Aurora Wings, and it's an Anything Goes challenge! I used the image "Lady Blossom" for my card and I coloured the flowers in her hair in a rainbow pattern just for fun.

Lady Blossom

I coloured the image with Copics. I wanted to do a bright and light rainbow combo for this and I really like the way it turned out. There are also some Sickles dotted throughout the image for some added sparkle but they are pretty hard to see in this picture. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The flower die cut is from Stampin' Up. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Juli's Flowers for the blue paper.

Wine!!

And it's Sunday!! Hope you all enjoyed your week and your weekend! It's time to wrap things up for Team 1 this week with our Sweet Sunday post, and let's celebrate with some Wine!!

I used the Watercolour Red Wine stamp set, the Wine sentiment, and the Accent Dot Set. For my wine colour I used the Ken Oliver Colour Burst set in Brights. I mixed the Crimson and the Violet in a little spray bottle, added some water to make a colour spray, and spritzed my stamp and stamped it. For the glass colour I used Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress ink and then spritzed it with a little water for the watercolour effect. The paper is just scraps from my stash; the blue velvet ribbon is from May Arts.
