Retro Rubber Challenge #38 - Color Challenge

Hello everyone,

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a color challenge for you. I hope you will join the fun and play along with us. Here is the color inspiration picture and my take on it.

This stamp set "Vivid Vases" was debuted in the Stampin Up catalog in December of 2013.  I have had this stamp set for a while,this is the first time using it.  I'm so happy to share what I have created!  I love the bright colors of the paper I used.  It is from the Design Series Paper Pattern Stack, the Bright Collection, which is no longer available.

I stamped the vases on the DSP paper and fuzzy cut the vases I wanted to use.  I used my tape runner to adhere them to my card.  Very clean and simple card.    

Closer look at my card....

I hope you have been inspired by my card to join the challenge. You have until May 20th to hop on over to Retro Rubber to join the challenge.
