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.
