With or Without?

This is one of the two Rubbernecker "Create a Garden" sets that I demoed at the Novi Stamp Show last weekend. After I was done with my card and uploading it on SCS, I wasn't sure if I was entirely satisfied with it. I ended up going back to my craft room with it. After adding the gingham bow, I still wasn't happy. I decided it just wasn't colorful enough so I colored the butterflies with Honey and Maize Copic markers. (The pot was colored with Apricot and Honey Copic markers.)

So which one do you like better? The first one or the "stepped up" second version?

These cards were made for the SCS Free 4 All Challenge: Frames

New Stamps, Stamp Show Photos & More

I had a lot of fun at last weekend's Novi Stamp Show. I helped demo some Rubbernecker stamps with Charlene (a.k.a. LilLuvsStampin). I've posted a couple of photos that Charlene took at the bottom of this post.

I've had fun making cards with some of my new stamps. I love the teddy bears in this set of inchies! There are 30 images in this set (426). I used three of the images to make a Congratulations card for my son's physical therapist. Her first grandson entered the world prematurely but is doing well! I'm so happy for her, but I'll also be happy to see her back in Michigan. My son has been doing so awesome in therapy. Yesterday, with little assistance, he stood for the first time since his surgery in May and even took a few steps with a walker!

Rubbernecker Stamps: Teddy Bear Inchies (426), sentiment (25_11)
Paper: white, SU certainly celelry, bashful blue, retired dp
Ink: Memento black, chocolate chip, Copic markers
Tools: 1" & 1.25" square punches
Accessories: SU white taffeta ribbon



This week's CAS challenge is a sketch by DT member, Terri (Die Cut Diva).

Rubbernecker Stamps: 2 part flourish (546_06), sentiment from Garden Shrub set (560)
Paper: white, kraft
Ink: chocolate chip, crumb cake
Accessories: prima, brad, retired SU ribbon



I think this lady (Jessica) looks like Julia Roberts in the 1990 movie, Pretty Woman. In the movie she wore a brown with white polka-dot dress and a hat like this image. You can see her in the trailer here.

Color Challenge: kraft, red, yellow & optional green
I used creamy caramel instead of kraft(crumb cake) because I only have a marker in that color.

Rubbernecker Stamps: Jessica (237_02),
sentiment (237_04), grass is from Kittie Kit master #1
Paper: GKD heavy weight white
