Blogger Challenge #13

Today's Rubbernecker Blogger challenge is to make a card in any shape

other than the standard 4.25x5.5.  It can be a long or tall card, or any other shape you want it to be.  Your card

must also include snowflakes!  To participate, all you have to do is upload your card to either your blog and/or

online gallery and comment on this post, including the link to your card.

The gift card holder started with a large shipping tag measuring 6 1/4" x 3 1/8"  I used blending foam &

the applicator tool to sponge it with Distress Weathered Wood ink.  Snowflakes were stamped in

Distress  Broken /china ink.  The snowflake background was inked in versamark and embossed in clear

powder.  It didn't give enough definition to the tag, so I ended up going back and stamping the background

using Adirondack paint dabber in pearl.  When dry, I scored the tag at 1 1/4", 3 3/4" & 4" starting at the top.

The tag was layered on pacific point CS and scored again matching up the score lines on the tag.  The

ribbon is tied around the top flap and the bottom flap of the holder tucks into the ribbon to hold it closed.

The embellishment is a snowflake pin I picked up at 90% off after Christmas last year.  The gift card is

held in place with Wacky Tac adhesive which is a sticky post it type adhesive.  Have a wonderful day, hope

you have time to play along!

Peaceful Trek

My card today is for 2 challenges.  The sketch challenge can be found here.  The 2nd challenge is

the Wednesday Rubbernecker Blog Challenge hosted by Design Team member Bev Gerard called

Nix the Ribbon.  We were to use fibers, cording, thread etc. No ribbon allowed.  Come play along!

The Winter Trek image is Stamp Oasis and was embossed in silver on glossy white CS.  The layer was

brayered using Kaleidacolor Blue frost ink.  The Peace text is Rubbernecker and was stamped in

Adirondak Denim pigment on CS Vellum, die cut usingthe smallest curved rectangles die from Spellbinders. 

The edges of the vellum was sponged withencore Silver ink and then dipped in silver EP and heat embossed. 

I die cut the same size and offset the navy layer under the vellum.  Be sure to stop by the Rubbernecker

website to take advantage of the awesome sale going on now.  Have a wonderful Wednesday!

 

RNBC10 Sparkle, Glimmer, Shine

I am hosting the Rubbernecker Blog challenge today. Be sure to stop by the blog and play along.

My card uses lots of sparkle, glimmer & shine. The snowflake background was inked using Adirondack Paint dabber/pearl on

the white layer and tag. The tag was then sprayed with pearlized distress mists in Weathered Wood and Faded Jeans with

Perfect Pearls/pearl added to the mists. The snowflake was stamped in Faded Jeans and the vertical text in Versafine Onyx Black.

The glittery frame started out by using my new electronic die cutting machine by Making Memories called Slice. (the tag was also

cut using Slice) The frame was inked with VersaMark Dazzle pad/champagne and embossed with holographic embossing powder.

A packing tape window has dazzling diamonds glitter on it. The square snowflake was stamped in Faded Jeans Distress ink on

white CS and mounted on the back. The frame was finished with a snowflake brad and rhinestone. Can't wait to see what you come

up with, play along!
