My Alone Time / #fall2017clh

I absolutely love ALL things about rubber stamping, I also have a bit of a snarky, sarcastic side. This probably isn't much of a secret to my close friends. I love bringing out that side in the cards I create and this Dark Coffee set from STAMPlorations is just perfect.  It is from the Big Grins by Becca Cruger line and I'm thinking that maybe she and I are long lost relatives -- we have the same sort of sense of humor.

My Alone Time is For Everyone's Safety

• On a  DCWV  tag, I stamped the Dark Coffee Gal in the lower Right corner and colored her with my Distress Markers and Faber-Castell PITT Artist pens . She was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and her glasses were stamped with Clearsnap ColorBox Fireberry.
• The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of fall-patterned paper and attached to the tag with a copper staple.
• I placed a bit of Fall-themed washi on the tag, then tied a bit of Maya Road twine cording to the top of the tag. .
• A turquoise rhinestone made the perfect earring for this gal and a bit of coppery tinsel glitter added a touch of shimmer to the coffee.
• The tag was popped up on the Paperlove card base with foam dimensionals.

The image of this coffee gal really reminds me of my mom. I colored her hair like my mom's and put the glasses on her like my mom  wore. I don't think I really even thought of this when I ordered the stamp set, but then when I inked it and stamped it, there SHE was !! As you can see in the picture I posted, it's pretty close !!

Color Me a Rainbow

How do you create your own rainbow ?? Can you turn around a rainy day by creating something, by coloring your own rainbow ?? It would be easy to do with some great ink pads, especially the new Susan K Weckesser Inc. Color POP Mini inks by Clearsnap . Comment on this post and you could win all 8 of these new ink pads. Susan is also giving a set away on  { My Sweet Earth } and all of the other members of our Creative Team are having contests too.. These inks are dreamy -- great to use directly on a stamp or by placing the ink on an acrylic block or your craft sheet and watercoloring with them.

I used a page from a journal as my background on a Kraft card base. It had rainbow colors across the bottom which were perfect !! I stamped images from Heart-Full Homes & Unicorns and Rainbows  using the Color POP inks. My Distress Markers were used to color the images and Hazel & Ruby Scallop Grid washi was placed across the top of the card. One of my favorite tools - the Dymo Caption Maker - was used to add the label at the bottom of the card ..

I hope you like the rainbow that I created and that you will comment for a chance to win some of these great inks. I am sure you will love them all as much as I do !!The contest ends Minday, August 15 at midnight. I would also love it if you would follow my blog by signing up to the Right on the sidebar. Links to my other teammate's blogs are below. The more blogs you check, the better your chances of winning some fabulous inks .
