Dolphins and Demonstrators!

Good Sunday Afternoon! It’s a little snowy here today, not much just a few flurries, but still a perfect morning to stamp. I read the paper this morning, first time in a long time, checked the ads and decided where I NEED to go this week. Then I checked out the Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoast. Much to my joy it is Mary Jo Albright. I was lucky enough to meet her at CHA and couldn’t wait to play along today.

However, before I show you my card I have an announcement.

Rubbernecker Stamp Company needs your help. The 2008 Show Schedule has begun and we are looking for product demonstrators. We need two demonstrators for shows in the following cities:

Allentown, PA on April 12-13
Minneapolis, MN on May 17-18
Syracuse, NY on May 24-25
St. Louis, MO on June 7-8
Hartford, CT on July 12-13

It’s really simple, if Jeanne and I can do it, so can you! All you will be doing is demonstrating products during the show. It’s tons of fun and goes very quickly.

If you are interested, please leave a comment or send me an email and either Dave or I will respond with all the important deets (i.e., compensation)!

Now for today’s card. I chose this card of Mary Jo’s to case, oink oink. I loved the layout, which I used, but changed up the images and colors.

The image was stamped three times. Once in VersaMark on light blue paper and the other two times in Adirondack Pitch Black on white. The images stamped on white were colored with Copic Markers. I misted the image on the blue paper with Broken China-Pearl Shimmer Mist and used Ranger Glossy Accents to highlight all the bubbles. I then cut one full image out of the white paper and glued it over the top of the image on the blue paper. To add more interest to the image, I then cut out only the fish from the third I stamped and raised it with mounting tape on top of the fish. The circles were cut using my new Spellbinders Nestabilities and the photo corners were made with a punch. I sponged Broken China Distress Ink on a Grunge Board Heart, and to highlight the swirl pattern of the Grunge, I lighted tapped it with my Dusty Concord pad. I then misted the heart with the same Shimmer Mist I used on the background panel for the image. The edges of the Memory Box background paper and the purple cardstock were sponged with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.
