Hello, hello, hello!

It's time for another Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge (#68). Today marks the first week of this challenge, and I'm part of the first group to showcase it.




Since Twilight's Breaking Dawn will be coming out this week in theaters, we thought we'd do our own version of Team Edward versus Team Jacob. That is, it'll be Team Oliver vs. Team Josh.

You can use your imagination to do whatever you wish provided that you use an Oliver or a Josh image.

Please see the SCRS blog for more details! Here's my take:



I had quite a ball doing this challenge as I am a BIG Twilight fan! I chose images that look as close to the characters of Edward and Jacob as possible -- Valentine Oliver and Street Corner Josh. Valentine Oliver is romantic so I thought he'd be a perfect Edward, although Edward would never wear that kind of hat, LOL! And Street Corner Josh is kinda cool, just like Jacob. I tried coloring them like the characters as well.

Lastly, I added these sentiments I got from Unity Stamps. They're perfect, don't ya think?

SCRSC # 64 with Farmer Oliver.

Hello peeps!

It is time for another Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge --- # 64. Today's challenge is a sketch:



And here's what I did:



I over-tilted a bit, and so Farmer Oliver looks like he's gonna tip over... LOL! Doesn't it look like a great day at the farm? The sky is blue and there are lots of fluffy clouds. The grass is green and the crop is abundant :). He just has to watch out for those darn crows!!

I hadn't been lucky with the clouds before. Amy had blogged about a tutorial on how to do this, but my clouds never even looked like 1/10th of hers, LOL. I'd used Tim Holtz distressed ink like recommended but I think I have a very heavy hand because they never looked right. I think it's also because I didn't have the correct type of sponge. For this card, I used a metallic rub-on tint and it worked much better. (I also did it with a paper towel).

Hope you all play along! You must use a Sparkle Creations image, and upload to the SCRS Photo Gallery. The deadline is October 16th at 9 pm PST. The winner will be picked randomnly and get a free stamp!
