A lovely sketch challenge is on tap at As You See It!

I started with some fall themed pattern paper and adhered to the white card base.  I die cut two double stitched circles from shaded spruce and white.

I added the sentiment and then did an acorn punch with a button and some twine.  Finally I added some bling and was done!

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

I started by adding some pattern paper to my card base and then a bit of twine.

I stamped the sentiment and gourd/leaf images before die cutting the scalloped square.  The gourd and leaf are from Stampin’ Up!’s Gourd Goodness from 2017 while the sentiment is from the 2013 PaperTrey Ink Mum’s the Word stamp set.

I layered the square above the twine and added some bling.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  The challenge is to use shades of blue and make a card in ten minutes or less.

I started by running my blueberry bushel card base thru my linen plate.  Then I ran the white card front thru the linen plate and die cut the stitched rectangle.

I stamped the feathers in three shades of blue – marina mist, bashful blue and soft sky.  The sentiment was stamped in blueberry bushel.  I adhered the card together and then decided it needed some bling.

With just over two minutes left, I thought I had plenty of time to put some bling on there.  Well, I didn’t!  I had just found what I wanted to use when the timer went off.  So the card was done with 0 seconds left and no bling!

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.

It’s time for a new Retro Rubber Challenge and it’s anything goes!  Yay!

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.
