Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by! Today's new challenge is shown below. Simply use a stamp one year old or older, and create a new project in the theme below. I created a card for this challenge over at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog, below:
To create my card I started with a blank pre-made card, invitation size, folded with corners trimmed.
Next, with some white card stock I stamped the leaf, used dies to create the frame, and cut a small strip to color and apply rub on letters. I fussy cut the leaf, and colored it with Copic Markers. I added Wink of Stella for sparkle.
I added the leaf to the card, using foam tape. Next, after I die cut the frame, I colored it with Copics as well. Then, I colored the sentiment strip with markers too. I added the frame to the card, and a few plastic gems. I added the sentiment panel, after I rounded one corner. Then I tied on a bow.
This stamp set is from Stampin' Up, and is one of my all time favs! I think it dates back to 2015, and is called "Lighthearted Leaves". It is so beautiful. The rub on letters are so old. Surprised they still work. Haha.
Won't you join us? Simply create a project per the instruction above, then submit over at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. Then join us the Sunday after the challenge ends to learn the challenge winner! Thanks for coming by!
