Retro Rubber Challenge Blog - Sketch

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is a sketch.. 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 using the Newton’s Nook Designs Puppy Heart stamp set, which was released January 2023.  I colored the pup with alcohol markers to match the warm pinks and reds in the background. The patterned paper is from the Love & Woofs Paper Pad.  My card is perfect for Valentine’s Day or anytime you want to send a little puppy love to someone special. 🐶❤️

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 February 6th to join the fun!

NEW RELEASE PRODUCTS AND OTHER ITEMS I USED ON MY CARDS (affiliate links):

Joy Clair - Scripture of Love

Hello everyone,

I am back again with Joy Clair featuring two of the newly released stamp sets, The background stamp is called "Valentine Background" from the Everyday Collection and the sentiment is from the stamp set "Scriptures of Love" which is from the Color by Faith Collection.  

I love the background stamps because you can create your background with one of the stamps or mix and match.  The Scriptures of Love set is so versatile....you can use them in your bible journaling or make cards like I did.

Here is how I put my card together!

1.  I started with an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2),

2.  I used the splattered hears and created my background with red ink (this was so easy, I didn't even use my misti!)

3.  I stamped the sentiment from the "Scriptures of Love" with black 

4.  I finished the card off by adding foam tape to pop the sentiment on my card and added some clear sequins.

For more inspiration make sure to follow Joy Clair on their social media platforms:  Joy Clair blog,  facebook page, Joy Clair Stamp Projects, Color By Faith Facebook Group, Instagram 

and Twitter, Pinterest and Youtube channel to be the first to hear the news, sales and giveaways! 

Thank you for stopping by, Ii hope you have been inspired to want to use these stamp sets.  Please come back again soon!
