Happy Wednesday! I’m starting to see the end of the tunnel . . . 
and projects are being completed! I have just a few more things to wrap up and then I can begin preparing for my trip to CHA! 
Today is the Rubbernecker WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge! It’s hard to believe that we are already up to #20 and we keep adding new players! Jules is the hostess this week, and she has found some great inspiration pieces for us. You can find all the details and how you could win a coupon for 40% off your next Rubbernecker Stamps order on the Rubbernecker Blog.
Here’s the inspiration piece from Janine King Designs that I chose to work with.
I loved the black and white look, knew that I had the perfect background to work with, but I needed to add some color as well. Here’s what I came up with.
The background was made using the Emboss Resist Technique. The image was stamped and embossed with clear EP, and then black ink was applied direct to paper. Using I dauber I worked the black ink around to fill the paper and then once dry, cleaned off the remaining black ink on the embossed areas. I’m a little ticked with myself that I didn’t notice the speckles in the background. I have no idea what it is . . . it doesn’t feel like EP. I didn’t notice them until I was editing photos. For some reason I’m into the black/white and green look right now!

The bright ribbon makes this, Sherry!
I love the pop of color Sherry, just perfect for the inspiration!
What speckles? The card looks perfect (do not have my contacts in yet 🙂 I love the black and white combo and with your “pop” of color.
Ha, great minds think alike…lol! Fabulous Sherry!!
Love the bright pop of color against the black and white.
maybe something got into you EP??? (you can hardly notice the speckles, btw)…..I know of someone who wasn’t too careful when cleaning out her powder pal (should have just used a piece of paper!) and now has “specks” in her glitter and ep (a fast learner~this “person” is NOT!!)
Love the pop of color….and green!! I usually go for the red but I’m likin’ the green!!
I just love that background stamp…it looks gorgeous on the black with the pop of green!!!! Beautiful, Sherry!!!!
I love that sherbet colored ribbon with the black and white! Awesome!!
So much fun to see the bag you used for your inspiration. I have a different bag from Janine King in that same fabric!! I’m not sure what flowers those are, but they always remind me of Queen Anne’s Lace, which grows wild here in the fields.

I really enjoy seeing creations made from inspiration pieces. Nicely done. I’m sitting here in anticipation of your Spellbinders’ Reveal in the morning. You wouldn’t care to email a sneak peek would you? Yeah – that’s what I thought. Guess I’ll just have to wait like everyone else. See – you’re not so BAD after all Bad Sherry.
