Happy Wednesday!  I’m starting to see the end of the tunnel . . . and projects are being completed!  I have just a few more things to wrap up and then I can begin preparing for my trip to CHA!   Today is the Rubbernecker WACKY WEDNESDAY Challenge!  It’s hard to believe that we are already up to #20 and we keep adding new players!  Jules is the hostess this week, and she has found some great inspiration pieces for us.  You can find all the details and how you could win a coupon for 40% off your next Rubbernecker Stamps order on the Rubbernecker Blog.

Here’s the inspiration piece from Janine King Designs that I chose to work with.

I loved the black and white look, knew that I had the perfect background to work with, but I needed to add some color as well.  Here’s what I came up with.

The background was made using the Emboss Resist Technique.  The image was stamped and embossed with clear EP, and then black ink was applied direct to paper.  Using I dauber I worked the black ink around to fill the paper and then once dry, cleaned off the remaining black ink on the embossed areas.  I’m a little ticked with myself that I didn’t notice the speckles in the background.  I have no idea what it is . . . it doesn’t feel like EP.  I didn’t notice them until I was editing photos.  For some reason I’m into the black/white and green look right now!
