Outdoor Life & Vintage New images!!

I have promised ALL kinds of pictures from my NEW rubbah, haven't I? Well, here are some projects that I've been working on with the brand new goodie bag of rubbah from Nicole over at Prickley Pear! Take a look:

OK...These are NOT new images, but I so much LOVE this image and had yet to even use it!! I used my cuttlebug for the close to cocoa BG panel and then I sprayed it with a mixture of Gold Interference Pearl Ex powder and hair spray. (It has some pretty cool effects on your paper!) I stamped the wolf & sentiment images from THIS half sheet of rubber. I just chalked certain parts of the wolf and then added some yellow stickles to the eyes. Hopefully you can see all the shimmer and sparkle on this card! I also used a swirl image from Prickley Pear very lightly on the sentiment panel.

OK...NOW for the BRAND NEW HALF SHEETS OF RUBBER! (Remember: for this month only if you purchase two of the new plates of rubber, you will receive a FREE GRAB BAG-O-RUBBER! )

Owl whoo? I think this little owl is just too cute!! I used a TJ technique for the BG panel with the cuttlebug. I also used a new image & embossed with vanilla ink on each corner of the panel. I have the top owl popped up on pop dots and I also added some stickles to their eyes! This is pretty much my first chance at playing with some birds! There are some more really cool birds that I've working with as well...

Wasn't quite too sure what I wanted to accomplish with this accordian tag, but I thought it would be fun to incorporate several birds on it and pop them up! It looks really fabulous IRL though! Except for the orchid bird, I embossed the other birds in silver EP and colored them in. I stamped several different collage images all over the accordian and sponged some areas. I also added touches of stickles to the birds and flowers. The ribbon is just tied at the top and woven through the holes. I've never completed one of these before, but I thought it was lots of fun. Hope you enjoy it!! Now, go get some of these pretty birds!!!

One last thing to show you! I haven't made ATCs in years!! Yes, that's right...years!! They used to be popular a while back and now it seems that they are making a "come back"! These vintage images seem to be really hot as well! So this is my first in quite a while using BOTH! I love how they turned out!! Isn't that coffee stain image the coolest?!

I took the music image on the left card and crumpled it all up and then sponged some brown ink over it. I cut out the image so that I could ink up some swirls in gold at the top of the brown panel. The image will fit perfectly on an ATC sized card though!

I hope you've enjoyed all these creations that I've done with the Prickley Pear images! I just fell in love with the NEW images!! Nicole will be receiving a batch coming her way shortly for sure!

but don't go away!! I've still promised MORE new images to you and I plan on getting those up here later on today!! So be sure to check back for more new sneak peeks!!! *HUGS & SMILES!*
