A fun new challenge starts at As You See It.  It is theme week and we must showcase trees!

I started with a pear pizzazz brushstroke before adding a couple of scrub brush trees.

The trees were stamped in sweet sugarplum and pink pirouette.  I love using pinks and greens for my holiday cards.  I popped up the trees and added the sentiment.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It is tic tac toe time!  I choose the pastel colors/embossing folder/birthday.

I started by embossing a piece of grapefruit grove with my on point embossing folder.  Then I die cut a wine bottle from so saffron.

I layered these on a crumbcake base and added the sentiment and some twine.  The sentiment is from my 2017 Papertrey Ink infinity frames sentiments.

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge!  It is a recipe challenge and you must use twine, a tag, a leaf, a die cut and make it a get well card.

I knocked off three items by die cutting a tag and a leaf.  I left a couple of spaces in the leaf so that you could see the white background. 

I wrapped some twine around the base and added a bit of twine to the tag.  Then I die cut a strip of white so that I could put my get well wishes on.  I put everything together and was done.

I was in a bit of a holiday mood so I went clean and simple.  I die cut a couple of pine boughs and arranged them on the card with an enamel dot for a berry.

I stamped the sentiment from my PTI Christmas critters sentiments from 2016 and added some texture with my linen plate.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It and it is a fill in the blank.  (that I got to create!)  My go to die or punch that I use most often is the linen impression plate.  But I think you all could have guessed that!  I love it because it adds a smidge of texture and makes the card feel a little more upscale.

I did a one layer card so I could show off the linen plate.  I added snowflakes and circles in soft colors and then ran the card thru the linen plate.  Even though it is hard to see!

I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and popped it up on the card.

It's always a bit difficult to see the texture from the linen plate so here is a picture of what it looks like.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  We are all about fall colors and need to use red, orange and brown on our cards.

I started by stenciling some fall leaves across my card in the required colors.  Then I added a bit of chocolate chip cardstock above and below the stencil to frame it in.

I die cut some leaves in red and orange, as well as one in dark yellow that I aged a bit using brown ink.  Finally I added the sentiment which is from the PTI keep it simple blessed sentiment set from 2017.

It’s time for a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a lovely color challenge using pretty peacock, coastal cabana and mango melody.

I started with a jumbo dot cover die and die cut the white card front and some dots from the three required colors.

Then I popped up the white die cut and added my three colors.  I love that pop of color on all the white!  Finally, I stamped the sentiment and backed it with a piece of pretty peacock to add a bit more color.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  We have a fun sketch for you to try!

I started with a doily stamp out of lemon lime twist ink and then added the sentiment.  These stamps are from Close To My Heart Love Doily and I have had since at least 2015.

I die cut the card front and the lemon lime twist card stock using my MFT pierced squares.  Then I added the twine and a bow to take the place of a button!

It’s time for a new As You See It Challenge!  It’s a sketch challenge and I loved the sketch.

I went super clean and simple by using my sentiment as the line and sentiment.  (does that make sense? lol!)  I added three birds to sit on part of the swoop in the serenity image.

My card is one layer and I used my linen impression plate for a bit of texture (naturally!).
