Sending Some Comfort - Rubbernecker Stamps

Hello all!  Lisa here!  I'm sharing a sympathy card today using one of the beautiful florals from the shop and one of my favorite sentiments for sending love at one of the most difficult times we face.

This gorgeous Flower Bouquet is one of my faves to color up... it's beautiful in any colors you choose!  I find it very hard to make a sympathy card at the time that I need it.  So I find it best to have a few on hand to choose from.

And this sentiment.  It says so much yet not too much.  Just a simple wish of comfort.

Sending peace and comfort to all of you out there!  As always, we will be bringing you as much inspiration to you as we can over the next few weeks to keep your eyes happy and your minds and hopefully your hands busy!

Here's how I made this one:

1. I cut a panel of white cardstock using the largest of the Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Dies.
2. I used some distress inks in  yellow to first blend some yellow onto my background and then applied some of the orange through the Bold Rose Stencil.  (I did this before I received my beautiful new Color Fuse inks from Rubbernecker and I can tell you since I got them I have used them in the same way and they worked beautifully!)
3. Next I cut the Window w/ Pierce from a yellow that coordinated with my background.
4. I stamped the Flower Bouquet and cut it using the Scan N Cut and then colored it in with my Copics.  I went for a soft look this time with some peaches and yellows for the florals leaving some white space even (it's ok to not color every part of your florals!)  When I leave white, I like to use my blending marker to soften up the edges between the color and the white space.
5. Next I cut a banner from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment in the center using my Misti.
6. Finally I assembled all of my pieces and adhered them with various thicknesses of foam tape.  Added a few sequins and done!

Thanks so much for stopping today!  I hope you enjoyed it and you'll come back again for more Rubbernecker Inspiration!

May The Peace - Rubbernecker Stamps

Welcome back!  Did you know that Rubbernecker Stamps now has stencils?  Today I've used the beautiful Bold Rose stencil to create the background for this card.

I taped the stencil down over my base and used a small square of cardstock as a mask.  I slowly started blending inks... a couple greens for the leaves and a couple purples for the flowers... covering the flowers when I colored the leaves and covering the leaves as I colored the flowers.  When I was done, I used a sponge and a little bit of water to add some Nuvo Gold Mousse randomly.  My mousse dried up pretty quickly, but I've found that it's fun to use this way... I just take a wet sponge and swipe it over the dried mousse a few times and then apply it where I want it using the sponge.  A paintbrush works nicely too!  Finally, I added some translucent texture paste for shine and texture.  Then I lifted the stencil and set it aside to dry.

I cut the top piece using the Borders #1 die and ink blended that with the same purples.  Then I blended a couple more pieces of cardstock with the purples and greens to die cut my flowers and leaves from.... adding some of the gold mousse as well.

Finally I cut one of the smaller rectangles and stamped this beautiful sentiment in Versamark and then heat embossed it with Wow Superfine Metallic Gold embossing powder.  I used another strip of ink blended cardstock to ground the sentiment and added my flowers, leaves and sequins.

It was fun to color this stencil pattern using ink blending brushes and distress oxides and pretty easy just using a small piece of paper as a mask!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!
