Please join us in the fresh, new challenge at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!  The challenge involves using a designated color scheme and a stamp one year old or older.  Easy and fun!  Blow the dust off your old stamps and have some fun!

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

 

 

 

I think I went a little out of my element with this one!  Too fun!  I used a stamp set that I have had on hand for a long time.  Much longer than a year, although do not know its exact age.  It is the "Boob Tubes" set from Paper Smooches.  For my card I used three stamps from the set, the tv and the two words. 

 

First I stamped the tv onto white cardstock using Memento Black Tuxedo ink.  Inside the tv "screen" I stamped the word "news".  I fussy cut the tv leaving a small white border.  I colored it using Copic Markers and added Copic N1 as a shadow.  I then started constructing the main card, using kraft cardstock in invitation size, folded and scored it accordingly, and using my EK Success corner rounder rounded two corners.  I took some "Watercolor Wash" cardstock from My Favorite things in two colors coordinating with this challenge, cut into strips, then applied to white cardstock, leaving a thin white border to the left.  I applied this panel to the card front.  Then I stamped the lower word. 

 

Next, I added the tv using pop dots.  The black and white chevron unit is washi tape.  I added sequins and stars.  American Crafts black cord and misc. gold cord tied finished the card.
