Good morning to all! There is so much to show and talk about today! While in Texas the Design Team were given 7 new Background Stamps that are being released today! Can you feel the excitement? The Design Team actually cheered and applauded Mr. Rubbernecker when these were passed out!

While in Texas, Joan was called away on a family emergency, so I decided to challenge the Design Team and you to create a stampy background card. I find that I use them in my main image panel more and more, but I couldn't resist creating this card. As a matter of fact, this was one of the cards that was video taped for my technique demo, which will be available on Rubbernecker very, very soon. Well, as soon as Mr. Rubbernecker gets back home! You're gonna be surprised and thrilled with all the new stuff coming your way . . . I know the Red Hot Mommas (the DT as they are affectionately known) are!
Which brings me to some other news. Rubbernecker is now carrying Prism and Prismatic Packs (which is what I used for my card), May Arts Ribbon and 7 Gypsies paper and various other items from 7 Gypsies.
My card is made using the Alcohol Ink Faux Bleach Technique and one of the new Abstract Floral background.
- Stamps: Abstract Floral Background and Stamp Oasis Petite Word Set
- Paper: Majestic Purple Prismatic and Accent Packs
- Ink: Ranger Lettuce, Stream and Eggplant Alcohol Inks, Distress Embossing and Archival Jet Black
- Accessories: May Arts Ribbon; Ranger Clear Embossing Powder, Ink Blending Tool and Felt; Clover Craft Iron; White Printer Paper; Ranger Non Stick Craft Sheet
Of course, the Design Team had a heads up on the challenge and have also created cards with some of the new backgrounds for your inspiration.

My first link only works if you have facebook which I didn't realize until it was too late. SOOO I just signed up to paper craft planet and hopefully everyone can see my card. I don't have any background stamps but the new ones are awesome! I created my own background with fish stamps.

You'll get a laugh out of this I'm posting this card from my friends computer, Dawn, and even though we put in my email address her name shows up, lol! So the above post is actually from Charlene.
