It’s a new year and a new challenge at the Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge – white on white with the use of one neutral.

I really struggled with this challenge until I finally came up with this beauty.  I used a quilted impression plate and a mini scallop rectangle to die cut this “quilt”.

I added a sentiment and then popped the quilt up on the white card base.  My sentiment stamp is from the 2008 Papertrey Ink Quilters Sampler sentiments.  I love this card!

Welcome to a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  We have a fun sketch challenge this go around.

I started by using a couple of my favorite stamp sets – Clearly Besotted Sunburst from 2015 and PTI Be from 2016.  I stamped three circle images in different colors and then added the words to each circle.

I added the main sentiment before running thru the linen impression plate and backing the card front with pink cardstock and a kraft card base.

This card is going to a dear friend who has been going thru difficult times.  It’s always good to be reminded of who we are and how highly others think of us when we are feeling a little lost.  Don't you agree?

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a sketch challenge for you and it’s a fun one!!

I started by stamping the sentiment and die cutting the rectangle and running it thru the linen impression plate.

By using some lemon lime twist and tranquil tide inks and mixing them into embossing paste, I ran the paste over a stencil and waited for it to dry.

I sponged the lemon lime and tranquil tide inks onto a white doily before layering everything according to the sketch.  A bit of linen thread finished off my card.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge! It’s time for a sketch so be sure to play along!

I started by using a dotted die to cut circles across the card base and adding some fun stripey paper behind the circles.

Using the colors in the paper, I stamped three flowers and then added the sentiment. I used stamp sets from Neat and Tangled – the flowers were from a set from 2016 and the sentiment was from a set from 2015.

Happy Monday all! Today I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started by stamping some random splatter in crushed curry and tangerine tango before adding a couple of strips of washi tape.

Then I stamped the sentiment, die cut and popped it up with some dimensionals. After adding it to the card base, I thought a few enamel dots were in order.

That’s it for today! Thanks for stopping by and I will be back tomorrow!

Happy Monday! We are supposed to get more cold and snow. So I guess we are getting six more weeks of winter! Good thing I have my crafting to get me thru! Today’s card is for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I started with some die cuts of paper dolls – girls, boys, and boys and girls. I die cut them in different colors and then adhered to the card front.

I added a sentiment and was done! Pretty clean and simple!

I have a fun one layer card for you today! And quite by accident, it happens to fit the Paper Players challenge of a CAS card with flowers.

I stamped this sweet image and used my colored pencils and some chalk to showcase the image.

I used a sentiment from a different stamp set because I love the saying and thought it perfectly described two creatures that shouldn’t be friends but are! Just like real life!

Supplies: CS: PTI white. Stamps: SU! pretty kitty. Neat & Tangled Scandinavian flowers. Other: Colored pencils. Chalks. PTI linen impression plate.

Today’s card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. And it allowed me to use my brand new super cute stamp set from SU! I have also been singing the song “you’ve got a friend in me” from Toy Story ever since I created this card! So don’t be surprised if you start singing it too!

I started by stamping the image on white and then coloring with my pencils and adding a bit of chalk around the image.

Then I backed the image with a piece of poppy parade and some plaid paper before adhering to a card base of white. A trip thru the linen impression plate completed the card.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to pop in tomorrow!

Supplies: CS: PTI white. SU! poppy parade. Lawn Fawn Christmas plaid. Stamps: SU! Bella and Friends. Other: PTI linen impression plate. Colored pencils and chalk. Memento black ink.

I think my colored pencils are going to be a permanent fixture on my craft table. I seem to be using them more and more as of late! And today is no exception.

I stamped my image and then colored it in. I added a bit of blue chalk around the image and a little gray chalk on the floor. The chalk is fairly dark when you view the card in real life and after I took my photos, it hardly shows up!

I die cut a curved edge on the white cardstock and then did the same to the pattern paper I added underneath. After I popped up the front on the base, I added the sentiment. The sentiment comes from the SU! mixed drinks stamp set. And although it was intended to pair with the drink images, I think the saying is appropriate any time!

Supplies: CS: SU! white, so saffron, and cupcakes and carousels. Stamps: SU! cherish friendship and mixed drinks. Other: Colored pencils. Chalks. PTI linen impression plate. SSS curved edge die.
