Dare To Be Different!

Smiley from millan.net Good morning!  I can hardly believe that it’s Wednesday already . . . of course, I always get my days messed up when we’ve had a long weekend.  I got to spend a large amount of time in the studio and I’m almost (now I said almost) caught up with projects due this week.   Can’t ask for anything more, can I?  Well, I could Smiley from millan.net I could!

Since today is Wednesday, it means that it’s time for another WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge!  Kittie is our hostess today and she has challenged all of us to make a card using some type of frame.  You can find all the details about participating in the challenge and how to win a 40% Discount on your next Rubbernecker order at the Rubbernecker Blog.

My card for today is using the new Diva Inchies Set to be released tomorrow.  Oh yeah . . . Rubbernecker Stamps is releasing 5 new sets tomorrow and since it’s a release day, there’s gonna be another Blog Stroll!  WOO HOO!!!!!  I do love the Blog Strolls.

Anyhoo, here’s my card.

DivaInchiesDareToBeDifferent

My frame is made from cardstock using Spellbinders Long Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities.  The cardstock was just a little flimsy, so using the same die, I cut a light weight piece of cardboard to attach it to.  I used Spellbinders Classic Square Nestabilities to cut the images.  The background panel was a white piece of cardstock that I airbrushed using a pink Copic Marker and the Spellbinders Flowers Impressabilities.  The bottom of the background panel was die cut and embossed with the Spellbinders Petite 5-1/2” Deckled Scallop Borderabilities.  To add a little accent to the frame, I applied Ranger Liquid Pearls around the scallops and then colored the inside border with a Silver Spica Marker and then went over that with black.  If you can tell in the photo, the frame is raised over the images with foam tape.

  • Stamps:  422 Diva Inchies and 456 Fashion Set from Rubbernecker Stamps
  • Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; Prism Baby Pink Medium and Black
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Accessories:  Spellbinders Flowers Impressabilities, Petite 5-1/5” Deckled Scallop Borderabilities, Tags 5 Shapeabilities, Classic Square and Long Classic and Scalloped Rectangles Nestabilities; Copic and Spica Markers; Copic Airbrush System; Ranger Matte Accents and White Opal Liquid Pearls; Venture Foam Tape; May Arts Ribbon; Brads

I hope you play along with us this week in the challenge and join us tomorrow for the Blog Stroll!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

    The long scallped frame is perfect for this. I so love the pink, blakc and white color combination. It just makes the black frame pop.

    Why am I having such a hard time figuring out how you made this frame?! (must be the early hour here, and the fact that I haven’t had my breakfast….yeah…..can’t be ’cause I’m a mush brain!)
    Love how you made your background (and tho I’m not a “pink” type of gal…I DO like pink and black!!)
    And my MIL would LOVE those shoes…she has this thing with leopard print (which is HILARIOUS if you knew her!! Think CPA…..uptight…..prim/proper hehe!)
