Hi there! I have more Rubbernecker today, but a complete about face in style from Monday's card. I've long been a fan of the RN Brushed Flowers but I think they're all being discontinued. I think. Honestly, I have a hard time with the Rubbernecker site as the categories and the search field don't always seem to jive. Maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I found these Brushed Flowers in the clearance category back in January. They're easy to color and work nicely for clean and simple cards. I masked and sponged a corner of each image panel, then stamped the flower image lightly for a background effect. Coloring was done with Copics.
Cool colors on the first card. The hello die is also Copic colored. I added little dots of white acrylic paint to the flower centers.
The inside of each card is finished in a similar fashion with this sentiment, which is also a never-been-used Rubbernecker stamp.
There's more info regarding colors, etc. in the recipe below.
Once again I'm taking my Rubbernecker cards over to the NBUS Challenge #37 where Darnell has provided us with a good reminder to keep plugging away at all our never been used schtuff. Thanks, Darnell!
I will try to get back here by Friday. I always have the best intentions, but once I get on with my day it's hard to get back to the computer. I'm sure you know how it is. Take care of yourselves and have a beautiful day!

Both your cards are amazing. I think the first one is my favorite but only because it has more blue on it. It is more crisp and clean and just really caught my eye. Hope you are doing well!
I really like how you've masked off the corner, such a pretty effect Leslie x. Both cards are beautiful, the first really fresh looking and love the colour combination on the second. The line stamping on the background looks so gentle too....Love both of these Leslie x.
Absolutely beautiful cards and stamps Leslie-love both the colourways

Oh Leslie - these are so simply divine!! Love the images, the coloring, and the way you did the backgrounds.
How beautiful, Leslie! The blue-to-goldenrod coloring is spectacular! xx
Leslie,
Your two cards are absolutely stunning! I love seeing the details you add to your cards.
Oh those are such pretty flowers... I don't have those... Makes lovely cards. BIG GRIN.
We had snow all yesterday, and today I got my summer tires put on. Crazy... Have a great day
Hi Leslie
I just loved what you created here! I had to pin these so I could try your wonderful technique for a subtle but beautiful background border! Big Hugs
I do love both these cards and those flower stamps. I think I will have to check them out. It is wonderful that you are on a roll with those unused sullies. I know exactly what you mean re time. I have let my commenting slip for a few days and am now trying to catch up. It is always a pleasure to visit you xx
WOW!!! Leslie, both these cards are gorgeous, I love the colors on both of them and the way you framed them, I've never seen partially sponged frames, and the soft border using these beautiful flower images looks amazing.
Thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.
XO

Wow these are stunning, not only have you done a beautiful job with coloring these beauties! Even pretty coloring of the sentiments, but I just love the way you did a soft stamping of the images in the background too, such a lovely touch!
Gorgeous designs. I love the technique you used with the sponging and stamping the background. That adds a real touch of class to the pretty flower designs. So pretty and so easy to mail.
Hi there Leslie... Sorry I haven't been able to comment in ages, typing is difficult and I keep making so many mistakes. However, I have had a wonderful time looking at your incredible creations.. your colouring is just mind blowing. That wisteria, Oh my! and these two cards are so beautiful with the colouring, the design`(love that backgound subtle stamping) just everything about them makes me happy.
I hope all is well with you my friend
Beautifully colored! I especially love the golden - blue combination. Your masked corner is clever and adds dimension. Love to your Golden babies!
Adding the stamped yet uncolored flowers in those masked corners really draws the eye to those that have been colored so beautifully! WOW do I love these, Leslie! Especially those yellow [strawflowers?] Never would I ever think to add that blue but what a statement it makes!

Oh Sweet Leslie ...these are both just BEAUTIFUL! Your coloring is so distinct & beautiful and your designs are perfect to showcase these pretty images. You once again have inspired me ... looking forward to seeing what you create next!
Leslie, these are gorgeous. I love the added inking and background stamping. Your purple and green would look great at color hues. http://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/04/color-hues-39-purple-and-green.html
Your cards are so bright and cheery. Love the colors you chose. I think the last card is my favorite with the bright colors. It is so clean and crisp. Have a great weekend!
What lovely designs, Leslie! I love the flowers and how you've colored them! the simple ink blending and subtle stamping make these extra special! Fantastic inside too!
Goodness gracious, these are so beautifully created Leslie! Love them both, wow! Love the idea of stamping the image in the background and then colour the one up front! Just gorgeous. I'm so happy to see these today, sorry for not commenting sooner. Love when you create. Take care Leslie! Hugs,
I do think these are two of the prettiest cards I've seen in a long time! Masking and inking softly are a terrific way to add such elegance and interest to an already gorgeous floral. Amazing use of color, love these! I'm so glad you've been able to stamp, Leslie!
Your cards are so pretty and make me anxious for spring!!! One minute its snowing here...the next raining...back and forth!
Wowie, these are gorgeous, you had me looking over on Rubbernecker, geez, like I NEED anything, right? I love the pretty colors of the flowers, you have the perfect touch of adding color and of course always the perfects designs too, I love coming here to visit and see what you have been up to and it never disappoints!!
You have always liked RN I agree and do such beautiful work with them. These are fantastic. I like the feel of the colors on each and your designs are so fresh and easy. Beautiful cards.
When I see cards like these, I am so envious of Copic coloring skills. I bought some pens early, but quit...and I just don't use them. I LOVE the warm-colored card because of those fancy-dancy flowers! They're beautiful!
So beautiful Leslie! Gorgeous coloring and I love the inside finish!
WOW! Two gorgeous cards Leslie! I LOVE the colours you've used and the design with the sponged and lightly stamped borders. AMAZING!! Both cards are so fresh and show that Spring has sprung with all the white space. Great work, my friend! Off to check out Rubbernecker clearance ... not that I'm short on flower stamps. :) xx
Both of these cards are so pretty. I love the color schemes too.
