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!).

Welcome to a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s anything goes!!

I started by stamping random images on my card front in different greens, brown and yellow.  I used my PTI Tropics stamp set from 2016.

Then I added a layer of crushed curry before adhering to the soft suede base.

We have a new speed challenge at As You See It!  These are fun!  The objective is to make a card in under 10 minutes.  You must make the card in shades of purple and report how much time you had left on the clock after you finished the card.

I started with a base of gray granite which I ran thru the linen impression plate.  I felt I needed a neutral tone to balance all of the purple.  Then I diecut a piece of elegant eggplant and white after which I ran them thru the linen plate.

Then I randomly stamped the images in three shades of purple: wisteria wonder, elegant eggplant and perfect plum.  I adhered the three pieces together and then stamped the sentiment.  Finally, I added pearls and rhinestones.

I had 56 seconds left on the clock!  Link up HERE to play along!

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber and it is a delightful tic tac toe.

I bounced around for a while before finally deciding which row I was going to tackle.  I ended up with the pattern paper/romance/enamel dots or gems.  I started with a card base of balmy blue and added this sweet piece of butterfly pattern paper.

Then I die cut and embossed the arch using my inspiration impression plate right after I added the sentiment.  My apologies if the impression plate is hard to see – it is various inspirational words.  It did not photo well at all!  My sentiment comes from my PTI ways to say I love you from 2017.

I popped up the arch and then added my rhinestones and dots.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  LeAnne created this fun challenge for theme week which is Beaches!

I dug out an old Lawn Fawn stamp set and created a very relaxing scene.  Who doesn’t want to be lying in a hammock on the beach?  Actually, the palm trees and hammock look like a smiling face.  LOL!

I stamped the images and then used my chalks to add the color.  I die cut the image and ran thru the linen impression plate before adhering to the kraft card base.

Welcome to a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s a color challenge for purple, yellow and green!

I started with a purple card base and a piece of purple pattern paper that I arranged on half of the white card front.

I stamped the image using elegant eggplant, garden green and daffodil delight.  Then I snuck the sentiment in next to the stem.  I used my PTI bitty bouquets stamp set that I have had since 2015 and also used the PTI ways to say hello stamp set (2017) for the sentiment.

Finally I ran the card front thru the linen impression plate and thru my MFT blue print stitched die before adding some twine and adhering to the card base.

We have a fun new challenge at As You See It!  And it’s one that I created – we have a recipe challenge for you.  Use the following on your card:  die cut, red, stars, ribbon and make it a Christmas card.

I wiped out three of those requirements in one move – a red star die cut.

Then I added a bit of silver ribbon and a holiday sentiment and was done!  I used my spray adhesive to adhere the star to the card front and it looks a little cobwebby.  LOL.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  We are partnering with the Double Trouble Challenge.  Yay!

Our theme is Christmas in July so all you have to do for our challenge is to make a Christmas card using at least one stamp older than a year.

The Double Trouble challenge requirements are:

• Thing 1 – Double Trouble:  Make a square card, scrapbook page, gift box or use squares on your project.
• Thing 2 – Double Dare:  Use a rubber or acrylic stamp older than one year.
• Thing 3 – Twisted Sister:  If you create a beach scene with Santa you can earn an extra chance to be in Double Trouble’s random draw.

I stamped a branch and pinecones from my Papertrey Ink peaceful pinecones stamp set that I have had since 2012.

Then I diecut a square around my image and backed it with a garden green scalloped square.  I popped the image up on the card base and added the sentiment around the square.  A few pearls finished it off!

Be sure to play along with both challenges.  Link up HERE for RRCB and HERE for DTC.

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge.  This one is fill in the blank!

My favorite color to wear is lime green!  So I used my retro circles and some lemon lime twist ink to stencil the background.

Then I added the sentiment that I backed with a bit of black.  I finished off with a few black rhinestones.

Welcome to our new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s anything goes!

I started by stamping this image from PaperTrey Ink’s Fashion Sense stamp set from 2015.  I stamped the background in black and then added the dress in flirty flamingo.  I added the sentiment across the image itself which is a bit unusual for me.

I added a strip of flirty flamingo beneath the white card front and some bling as well!
