Banana Split Sunday Rub A Dub

It's Banana Split Sunday. This week we were to use Rub-Ons. I use them all the time for my projects. I have a hard time stamping a sentiment straight and using a rub-on helps me in this area. This adorable image is from the 2Redbanana's store. It is a cute set from CC Designs called Tweet-ies . Come join the fun....

Sunny Flower

Today's IC challenge on Splitcoaststampers was to create a card from the Creative Wall Coverings online store. I chose a light switch that had sunflowers on it. I love this HM image. I used prisma pencils and GooGone. This paper comes in a pack at Michael's. It is their own brand. I LOVE it. This adorable image is an RAK from my friend Wendy. Hope you are having a great weekend. I am baking oatmeal raisin cookies. Yummy. The whole house smells so good.

Whipper Snapper Heather

I wanted to stamp just for fun today. I love this sweet little Heather image from Whipper Snapper Designs. She is so cute. I colored her first with copics and then added some prisma pencils. This sweet daisy is from Martha Stewart that my sweet friend Marilynn sent to me. I thought it matched the paper perfectly. I created this for Mothermark's teapot Tuesday challenge. There is a link on my side bar if you want to play..Have a super day.

Clear Dollar Stamps Pansy

I wanted to start doing some of the challenges again over on Splitcoaststampers. I think a challenge can really get your creative juices flowing. I love this new Pansy set created for Clear Dollar Stamps by Kim Teasdale. I got out my SU markers and watercolored the image. I have not done that in such a long time. It gives you such vibrant colors. I use 140 lbs cold press paper. Check out this set and many more over at Clear Dollar Stamp.

I also cased a layout for the Featured Stamper over on Splitcoast. This week the FS is Teresa Klein. I also used a tutorial for my flower that I saw in Linda Dukes blog.

Have a great Sunday. Come join in the fun over at 2RedBananas. The prize for this week is a More Quotes Set. The stamp I used today is a More Quotes Set from the July Release. I love it. There is a great sale starting tomorrow at 2RedBanana's store...
