Retro Rubber Challenge Blog, time for challenge 43!!

Come join the crafty fun!  Right now, the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog is hosting a summer themed challenge.  Simply use a stamp one year old or older, and the chosen theme, and join us!

Here is the challenge graphic and the card I created using this challenge:












Oh my gosh what a fun challenge!  I hope you can join us!  I used an old background stamp that I have, I believe it is from Hero Arts.  I used Memento ink in Lulu Lavender.  This stamp has to be at least 5 years old.  It is very basic, and a must have.  If you cannot find one from Hero Arts, other companies will have similar dotted stamps.

I first folder a kraft card into invitation size.  I rounder the outer corner.  Then on white cardstock I used the background stamp and ink.   I trimmed the cardstock and rounded the edges and glued it down.  Next, I stamped with black ink (Memento) onto white cardstock using a new stamp set taht I have. It is from Avery Elle.  I stamped the frogs, lily pad, floral images and cat tails.  I used Copic markers to color these images.  I placed a patterned paper piece from My Favorite Things on top the background stamped image, to simulate water, and rounded the bottom corners.

Next, I trimmed a plain piece of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment.  I added the other images and mounted the frogs using dimensional adhesive.  I saved one floral image to put atop the ribbon, which I added last and tied.

Please join us in the challenge!  Then check back to the Retro Rubber Blog one week from this Sunday to learn the challenge winner!  I can't wait to see your creations!
