RUBBERNECKER - BLOG CHALLENGE #18 & TREASURE HUNT TUESDAY
This week's Rubbernecker Stamp Company blog challenge is to make an "ANIMAL" themed card. I'm thinkin' that that's open to interpretation. I don't really have any animal stamps from Rubbernecker. Do starfish, a crab, and a worm count? Hope so cuz that's what we're gettin' here today!
Rubbernecker has a great selection of stamps that you can create a "scene" with. I originally chose the fish tank, fish, crab, boat, sand, and fish/worm stamps to all coordinate together. (And don't forget the new Kittie Kits that they've just released for some truly amazing "scene" images. I haven't tried them but even I might be able to work those into a scene a la Kittie!) I haven't used ALL of them on one card yet but I used about half on this one and half on that fish tank frame card from a few weeks ago.
I wanted this card to be sort of un-traditional in color so I chose Basic Grey's Cupcake 6x6 Paper Pad and matched my Copic markers to that. BG paper is THE best! While I was at the beach this past weekend I got all caught up on my stamping/scrapping mags and I noticed this ribbon treatment in one of them. Kinda fun and different!
Gather you're Rubbernecker stamps and create something "animal" oriented. Post your card to Jeanne's blog to be entered in the weekly contest.

Every card you make blows me over. This one is no exception. I find myself pouring over your cards, even in between your posts, because I'm trying to figure out your secret. By studying you hard enough, I figure I might be able to be as good as you one day. This card rocks!
