WACKY WEDNESDAY #25

Good morning!  Sorry this is a little late this morning but there were some technical difficulties.  This week Rubbernecker is sponsoring the Color Throwdown Challenge, and since they are using Rubbernecker images, we thought it would be fun to use their colors.  So this week is a Color Challenge using these colors:

(If you don’t have SU but Prism papers, the colors are Vibrant Teal, Desert Coral Dark and Suede Brown Medium.)

Since Broni is the hostess of the Color Throwdown Challenge, here is her card as a sample.

To participate in the challenge, all you have to do is make a card/project and post a link here on this post.  Different from what I announced yesterday, as all things change at the last minute.

Dave, Mr. Rubbernecker, has decided that he would like to thank everyone who has been participating in the WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenges.  He is offering all participants a 10% discount off your entire order.  When you post a card to the WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge, you will be able to use the code WW25  for one week beginning next Wednesday, the date of WACKY WEDNESDAY #26.  We will continue to give one coupon code for 40% off each week as well!

We would love for you to play along in the challenge with us this week! Just upload your card/project to your blog or favorite online gallery and link it to today’s post.

Wacky Wednesday #24

Hello everyone and welcome to Wacky Wednesday!!!!! I am excited to be your hostess today because we are going to take a walk down memory lane!!! My challenge to you and the Red Hot Mommas is to make a card using a favorite memory in your past as inspiration. It can be a favorite moment, event, trip, article of clothing...anything that brings a smile or a giggle. Oh, one more thing....you must tell us the story behind the memory!!!

My first sample features Rubbernecker's Brush Gown With Large Bow #235-05

 

My senior prom dress was long and slender like this dress (minus the bow)  and the most beautiful color of  emerald green. I felt sooo glamorous that night....I even had an emerald green satin purse and long white gloves...Whoohoo!!!

The dress was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. The edges were sponged before it was removed from the Spellbinders die to create the white border. The crystal flourish and ribbon finish it off.

Recipe:

Stamps: Rubbernecker Brush Gown With Large Bow

Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, 7 Gypsies dp

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, So Saffron, More Mustard

Accessories: Black Crystal Flourish, Black Silk Ribbon, Sewing Machine, Nestabilities, Foam Tape

My second sample used Rubbernecker's Poodle Skirt

 

I know you can hardly believe this (since I'm not a day over 35) but I had a poodle skirt when I was 10 years old!!! It wasn't this pretty but I was such a hit at the roller skating rink!!!!

This long card was such a fun card to make....the image is on the Glitz dp...I just added the poodle skirt over the one she had on and cutout her arm so it fell over the skirt. The skirt was stamped on a scrap piece of Basic Grey paper and the tiny poodle was colored with a copic. Black pearls were added to the skirt and pink rhinestones were added to the earring. The Rubberencker Diva sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and a large eyelet and ribbon finish it off.

Recipe:

Stamps: Rubbernecker's Poodle Skirt and sentiment from Rubbernecker's Diva Inchies set #422

Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, Glitz dp

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Black Pearls, Pink Rhinestones, Large Eyelet, Ribbon, Foam Tape

We would love for you to play along in the challenge with us this week! Just upload your card/project to your blog or favorite online gallery and link it to today’s post.  You’ll have a chance to win a 40% off coupon for your next purchase!

Rubbernecker Class Schedule

On Friday I told you that something special was going to happen at Rubbernecker Stamps.  Not only are we going to be expanding our Show Schedule this year, but we will also be offering classes at the shows, and I will be teaching those classes.

Here is Dave's announcement that he sent to Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo this week.

Sherry Cheever, Instructor

Sherry leads a diverse team of extremely talented ladies as Design Team Coordinator for Rubbernecker Stamps. Her ability to learn and teach many different techniques allows her to steward the team to achieve fantastic results for Rubbernecker and now she brings those talents to the classroom. As an experienced watercolorist and Copic Marker specialist, a devotee of altered art projects and a member of the amazing Spellbinders Blog Team, she offers 3 amazing new classes to the great line up of classes at the Rubberstamp and Scrapbook Expo.

Each class will offer several new and exciting techniques for the student with each leaving with one or more completed projects they will be answering questions about for weeks to come from their friends, fellow stamps and paper crafters. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from a fantastic lady and have a tremendous amount of fun in the process.

You can visit Sherry’s Blog, Walkin’ on the BAD Side, for samples of her work and more information.

My first classes will be at the Loveland, Colorado this coming weekend and then in Colorado Springs the following weekend.

Origami Note Box

9:45-11:45 Saturday $25 and 10:45-12:45 Sunday $25

24 Students

– Make a spectacular lidded box using Spellbinders Die Templates and chipboard coasters. The box is sized to hold post-it notes but can be used as a gift and/or trinket box. This little box will have your friends and family oooing and cooing.

Melt Art Ornaments

12:30-2:30 Saturday $25 and 1:30-3:30 Sunday $25

24 Students

– Make 2 different holiday ornaments and 1 pin using UTEE, Tim Holtz Idea-ology embellishments and the Ranger Melting Pot. This is the latest technique from the mind of Suze Weinberg at Summer CHA with Sherry’s personal spin.

Tag Mania

3:15-4:30 Saturday $25

24 Students

– Learn different distressing techniques using Ranger products. Techniques used are Wrinkle-Free Distress, Faux Batik and using Alcohol Inks in different ways. Each of these techniques will provide countless application opportunities and give you 3 great background tags to take home.
