Retro Rubber Challenge Blog - Tic Tac Toe

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is a Tic Tac Toe. Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get more inspiration, the design team has some wonderful creations!

The rules to play along with Retro Rubber Challenge is very simple, make sure the stamp you use on your project is at least one year or older. For more details on the rules, you can find them over on Retro Rubber Challenge blog.


Here is my take on the sketch for your inspiration:



My card is an A2 card. The focal panel was made using the Blooming Botanical 3D Embossing Folder. This folder adds incredible depth and detail, creating a gorgeous floral background that instantly elevates the card. To bring the design to life, I used the Blooming Botanical Layering Stencil set to add soft pops of purple and green over the embossed flowers and leaves. I love how the stenciling highlights all that texture without covering it up.

The floral panel is matted with a scalloped purple layer and placed on a deep purple card base for a bold frame that really makes the design stand out. A light splatter of white paint adds a bit of whimsy and extra interest to the background.

For the sentiment, I used the All Together Stamp – Happy Occasions along with the coordinating dies that was released in March 2024. The bold “happy” paired with the simple “birthday” is one of my favorite sentiment combinations, and popping it up with foam adhesive adds just the right amount of dimension. A few purple enamel dots finish off the card with a subtle touch of sparkle.
