Now that we have gotten all the logistics taken care of, here is my card for your inspiration.  I am using the NEWLY "Sunflower Large " stamp set.  I stamped it twice and colored it with copics.  I then stamped the "Birthday 8" and fuzzy cut it.  

To assemble my card, I cut an A2 size base, I die cut the background and added it to my card base, I then die cut the window frame and added it to the card.  I adhered the "Sunflower Large" onto my card with foam squares, and then added the sentiment "Birthday 8".

RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE BLOG #133 - Anything Goes

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which I think is everyone's favorite, "anything goes".  You can create what ever you want, the only thing we ask is to use at least one stamp on your project older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. I cannot wait to see your take on the challenge.

Here is my card for your inspiration.  The stamp set I used on the background is from Concord & 9th called Butterfly Love Turnabout which was released in June 2019 (thought it was older), the sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips stamp set which was released November 2019.  

My card is an A2 card, I used the Butterfly Love Turnabout stamp with several colors.  I die cut it with a rectangle stitched die.  I then die cut four of the "hello" word and adhered them together and added it to my card.  I then stamped the sentiment from the simple Strips and embossed it with white embossing powder and used foam squares to add it to my card.

Are you ready to play along? Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get some more inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, you have until May 1st to join the fun!

Hello everyone!

I'm here playing along with Photo Scraps Store color challenge, it's the last day of the challenge and it is all about pink and purple. I have had so much fun playing along this week.

Here is the take on the challenge.  I made stripes of paper of pinks and purples and added them to my card.  I then stamped a background stamp with versamark ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I die cut the panel with a stitched die.  I then die cut the word thanks with the darkest purple and darkest pink and added it to my card.  I embossed a sentiment on the darkest purple.  I hope you get some inspiration from my card.

Thanks for stopping by, please come back again!
