It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge to kick off the new year and we are using colors from the 1950s.  We have to use three of these five colors – pastel pink/yellow/green/blue/turquoise.

I opted for four of the colors and took advantage of using some 1950s style stamps as well.  These stamps are all from Pink Persimmon’s Hello Vintage Girl (2011), Style Girl (2012) and Classic Pattern (2013).  I stamped all the images and then colored in the scissors and the very stylish lady.

I die cut using a curved stitched die and then popped it up on a mint macaron base and was done!

It’s a new year and a new challenge at As You See It!  A lovely sketch challenge to kick off the year!

I started by die cutting two triangles, one in white and one in pattern paper.  I cut the base down to make a 4 X 4 card to create a cozier looking card.

I stamped the jar, fish, ribbon and sentiment and then die cut and adhered together.  I used a bit of pool party for the water in the jar.  I popped the jar and sentiment up and added some clear dots to look like bubbles.  I quite like how it all came together.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We are talking speed and snowflakes for this challenge! 

I started by creating an ornament shape on my card front with a little bit of ink blending.

I stamped snowflakes, added the sentiment and adhered to the card base.  I decided last second to add a bit of bling for some sparkle and was done.  Plenty of time left on the clock for me!  I had one minute ten seconds left!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a Christmas inspiration challenge and is our last one for this year.

I started with a card base of soft suede that I attached some woodgrain pattern paper to.  I die cut a couple of tags and added some scraps to the top tag after I stamped the sentiment.  Sorry for the shine on the bottom of the tag...I couldn't get a picture that didn't have it!

The sentiment comes from my Papertrey Ink Cozy Christmas set from 2016.  I tied some twine to the tags, adhered to the card base and was done.

I don’t have a pet but I am a dog lover so I stamped up this little cutie and colored him in.  I die cut a stitched circle in the card front and popped up over the image.

I stamped my sentiment, cause who doesn’t want hugs and kisses from your pet?, added a few dots and was done!

I die cut three pieces of various pattern paper with my shiplap die.  I stamped and colored my llama image from Lawn Fawn Winter Alpaca circa 2015.  I die cut the llama and the little triangle banner and was ready to put the card together.

I adhered the pattern paper, stamped the sentiment and then added my llama and banner along with a bit of bling.  I was super excited how this all came together for the sketch!

I started by stamping trees?, leaves? from my Simon Says Stamp One With Nature stamp set from 2015.  I colored using the required colors and then die cut the images.

I stamped the sentiment and then ran the card base thru the linen plate before adding the images and a few dots.  Easy peasy.  Clean and simple.
