It’s our 200^th challenge at As You See It!  This challenge is to use two [things] on a card.  Which is harder than you think!

I used two images, two colors, two twines and twisted the twine twice.  Say that three times fast!  Anyway…I think I met the challenge!

I stamped the two balloon animals in dapper denim and lemon time twist.  I added the sentiment and the twine and was done!

Have fun and see what you can do with two!  Link up HERE!

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber.  It’s all about flowers!

I started with this beautiful mums stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps which I have had since 2016.  I stamped the first layer in chocolate chip ink and then added yellow, orange and red to the flower portion of the stamp.  I wasn’t sure what I would get – but it turned out really well.

Then I added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp’s Birthday Flowers from 2016.  Finally I added a couple of strips of crushed curry and die cut with a stitched die.

We have a new challenge at As You See It!  A fun color palette of powder pink, pineapple punch, and lovely lipstick.

I busted out some of my dies and embossing folders and set to work.  The top part of the card is the pineapple punch cardstock that I ran thru a striped embossing folder.  I added it to the white card front that I ran thru the linen impression plate.

Then I die cut a chevron out of the lovely lipstick and added pink pirouette underneath.  I couldn’t find my powder pink cardstock so I went with as close as I had.  I adhered it to the card front and added the sentiment and a few enamel hearts.

Finally I attached everything to my kraft card base.

It’s Anything Goes at Retro Rubber! 

I started with a funky die cut rectangle out of some musical paper.

Then I flagged a couple of scraps of paper and popped them up after adding my sentiment.  I thought it appropriate given my paper!

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.  A little bling finishes the card!

It’s a new sketch challenge at As You See It.  And I love it!

I started with a base of vanilla cream that I ran thru the linen plate.  Then I added a half circle of pear pizzazz and the silver thread. 

I added the flagged pattern paper and finally the sentiment on a wonky die cut.  I couldn’t resist the sweet butterfly and string of rhinestones [which look really blurry here and I could not get a good pic without that happening - sorry about that!]

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  The challenge requires you to either use a rainbow or rainbow colors on your card.

I went clean and simple (natch!) and created a rainbow with words.  I used my nifty Papertrey Ink Be set which I have had since 2016 and started stamping!

Each word is stamped in a color of the rainbow and are all things we should strive to be – right?

It’s a fun new sketch challenge at As You See It!

I started with some antique looking papers from my stash and used a curved die to create the two layers for the sketch.

Then I added some lace and adhered everything to the card base.  Finally, I added the sentiment and pearls and popped up on the card.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber and it’s one of my favorites!  Tic Tac Toe!  I am loving those more and more!

I opted for the top row of dies/sparkle/stars.  I die cut several stitched stars out of blueberry bushel, pineapple punch and granny apple green.  A weird combo of food themed paper names!

I added the sentiment from my PTI belated birthday sentiments from 2015.  I ran everything through the linen impression plate and then added the bling.

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  A fun color challenge that I used to create a St. Patrick’s Day card.

I die cut the oval in soft suede and then used a leaf punch to create faux three leaf clovers out of granny apple green and shaded spruce.

I added everything to the card front, added some bling and the sentiment.

A new challenge is afoot at Retro Rubber!  It is time to earn your stripes and use them on a card.

This card did not turn out anything like when I started.  I was going to stamp the stripes and then ended up with pattern paper instead.  You just have to go with the flow!  I started by die cutting two stitched ovals and stamping the sentiment using my W+9 Strictly Sentiments stamp set from 2013. 

Then I flagged the ends of the striped paper (it pays to save scraps!), added some gold thread and then adhered everything together.  Finally, I popped up the sentiment and added some gold stars.
