A Card and some Exciting News!!!



First up the exciting news!!!!!!! I have been asked to join the Design Team of Rubbernecker Stamps as a Guest Designer for two months!!!!! I just love Rubbernecker Stamps and couldn't wait for the web site to be up and running late last year. I am looking forward to sharing with you my creations using these stamps in the coming couple of months.

To celebrate this news I just had to make a card last night and in fact I had to make one anyway as my sassy and fab friends on SCS are waiting for a challenge card for me this week as it is time to get back to them after our Christmas break. Our theme this week was to use "new toys", and as my Rubbernecker stamps arrived a couple of days before Christmas they are indeed new toys! The DP is another new toy as I received this for Christmas ... and the rectangle nestabilities are fairly new too!

I decided to do another kick stand card which is the sketch challenge this week at SCS. By chance I have picked a similar type of color scheme ie chocolate chip with a color ... I didn't mean to do this when I set out but this is the way it happened.



Recipe:
Stamps: Ethel with Coffee Cup & Morning Text - Rubbernecker Stamps
Paper: Cool Caribbean & Chocolate Chip - Stampin' Up; White; Retro DP - DCWV
Other: Black Ink; Chocolate Chip SU Ink; Creamy Brown Fluid Chalk; Paper Piercing Mat & Tool; Brown Brads; Rectangle Nestabilities; Word Window Punch
