Rubbernecker Again

Ready for another week?  I've been coloring when I can and still living the rest of my life, as well.  Sometimes I wonder how I fit it in, but we all need to find time for the things we most enjoy, right?

Today I'm back with another Rubbernecker stamp.  This one is Stacked Tea Cups and I love it to pieces.  I think it might be an older stamp, as they have a lot of old stamps mixed in with brand new stamps.  Truth is, the site can be puzzling to navigate.  Just saying', but it's worth it.  The sentiment is Rubbernecker, too -- Day in Paradise.




Little critter details revealed themselves to me as I went along with the coloring.  Some are more apparent than others:  4 butterflies, 1 beetle, 2 snails, 3 bees, 2 caterpillars.  My favorite critter is at the very top.  Adorable.  What a fun stamp!




Kept the design simple, but with a few things going on:  Scored across the top and tied with baker's twine, punched the sentiment in a circle, popped up the image panel.  Just taking a little break from the seasonal cards.  There will be plenty of that coming up the rest of the year.  Odd to think 2019 is almost over, isn't it?

Okay, I'm off to see what kind of trouble I can get into the rest of this day.  I hope your day is a good one!

Oh, Leslie! Perfectly Delightful! How sweet this image is - I can see why you love it. Your color choices are so happy and bright, the sentiment couldn't help but make me laugh AND feel gratitude, and the pretty flowers and vines could not be cuter with the "tee tiny" puppy! It's pure joy in a tea cup! Oh... who said that?! I really is sweet in every way! hugs, de

I so enjoyed this card. As you know, I love teapots and cups as much as I do pansies! Love to go through thrift stores looking for little pearls! So cute with the little details scattered throughout the stack of tea cups!

I know I commented on IG, but I just have to repeat my love of this card, and your absolutely amazing coloring of all these details. (I haven't been on the Rubbernecker site for a couple of years, but I've found some other sites that are a challenge to navigate!)

WOW! You've been busy, I'm having fun catching up! This image is adorable and they way you combined the elements of the card is just right. The sentiment is so sweet, as is that cute dog. It's really nice to see teacups illustrated in a fresh and fun theme. I will look this stamp up.
