Double Your Pleasure!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!! I have had such a wonderful morning....my DH fixed breakfast and ran the sweeper so I could get my Inspiration Challenge card finished and my DD Holly and her DH John brought over an early birthday present...a wire rack to hold 12x12 papers....WHOOHOO !!! Can't get much better than that!!! Anyway.....


The inspiration for the IC challenge today comes from the famous prom dresses by Faviana. This is the one I took my inspiration from. I love the yellows, reds, and browns in the dress...sooo rich looking!!

This is also for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simple challenge to *Let the sun shine in* and use yellow in our design. I was the hostess for the Double Dog Dare challenge this week and my dare was to make a Mother's Day card with clothing in the design. I hope I got all the challenge criteria straignt!!

The Rubbernecker images from the Fashion Icon set #456 were all stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa on Prism papers. The background designer paper and the gloves are from the Linnie Bell Collection by Pebbles. The sentiment is also from Rubbernecker and the ribbon is by May Arts. Don't look to close at the sewing....I need a lot more practice sewing a straight line!!! The yellow background layer and the hat were run through the cuttlebug with the Swiss Dot folder for a little texture.

This Mother's Day card is for my DIL Christina who loves shoes and purses!!

Recipe: Stamps: Rubbernecker
Paper: Prism Birchtone Dark, Prism Sunflowers Medium, Prism Rose Medium, White, Pebbles dp
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Brick Red Distress ink, Vintage Photo Distress ink
Accessories: Ribbon, Sewing Machine, Nestabilities, Dimensionals, Cuttlebug

This is the card I made for Thursday's Ways to Use it Challenge on SCS to use black on a card.

I use some gorgeous paper by 7 Gypsies called Gypsy Market from Rubbernecker and the Inkadinkado bird in a nest stamp from Stamper's Dream. The image was stamped on More Mustard with Archival Jet Black, embossed with clear ep, and sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. The image was cutout with two of the Label 4 Nesties to create a frame effect. A black matt was cutout by hand around the outside and the inner section was popped up on dimensionals. I used sheer black ribbon and some self-adhesive crystal flourishes for the embellies.

The close up shows the crystal flourishes and

a better look at the sponging.....making the background a little darker helps to pop the bird.
