This is my creation:


The lovely image is from the   ODBD "Simple Things" set! After stamping the image twice and coloring with Copic Markers, it was cut out using ODBD's "Custom Clover Die"!  The Custom Die makes it so easy to cut out!  The flowers were poped up on the Spellbinder's "Fleur de Lis Rectangles" Die and the sentiment was centered in the middle! I scored the base of the card using my "Scor-Pal"!  The leaves and swirls in the background were created using CherryLynn's Fanciful Floruish! Ribbon and pearls were also added!

Sisterhood Sundays Challenge SS4



Happy Sunday everyone!



It's time for another Rubbernecker Sisterhoods Sunday Challenge!


Todays fun challenge is this inspiration piece!

Sisterhood Sundays Challenge SS2


Happy Sunday everyone! It's time for another Rubbernecker Sisterhood Sunday Challenge!

Today we are bringing you a fun sketch challenge!



This is my take on the sketch!


I chose to use Rubbernecker's   "Evergreen" (SKU:689 690 694 SO)! After stamping the lovely evergreen it was colored using copic markers. The decorative border was done using a Spellbinder's die! Glitter and acrylic paint was used for a snow effect. Tim Holtz broken china was sponged around the tree! The background panel was created by cutting a circle, gluing it over the dp and embossing using a Sizzix e/p!
