It’s Treasure Hunt Tuesday!
Good Tuesday morning! Oh yeah, it’s Tuesday! It’s Treasure Hunt Tuesday at Rubbernecker. Make sure you stop by the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog for all the deets and for a few announcements. We have some exciting things happening later this week! You can also find the links to all the Design Team Members – I know you don’t want to miss an opportunity for some blog candy.
I decided to step out of my comfort zone for my card today. AND let me tell you . . . This was not an easy card for me to make. Actually, it was a challenge. I’ve had some Twinkling H2Os buried in the cabinet for a few years now, and decided to pull them out, dust them off and use them. That was the easy part. Once I got the images colored, the layout was the hardest. I tried to do a simple and elegant card . . . NO WAY! Then I got a brainstorm to emboss a background with a CB embossing folder . . . well, that’s another story for another time! It could be a good story or a bad story . . . I’ll let you know later.
Anyhoo, here’s my card.
I stamped and embossed the main image three times and then painted them with the Twinkling H2Os. I cut out the second and third images, so that I could layer each section over the other. Here’s a close up of the detail.
