It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch to try your hand too!

I started with some old olive cardstock, cork and pattern paper.  I ran the old olive through my SU! bark embossing folder and the card base on my trusty linen impression plate.

I cut the green down and then made a couple of strips out of the cork and pattern paper.  I adhered them all to the card base and popped on a mini sentiment.  The sentiment is from my Simon Says Stamp Sketchy Banner Greetings from 2013.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s time for a color challenge of calypso coral, soft succulent, evening evergreen and crumbcake.

I started by stamping and die cutting the mimosa flowers in calypso coral and soft succulent.  I die cut a brick layer in the white and backed with evening evergreen.

I adhered everything together and then popped up the sentiment (stamped in evening evergreen) on the card.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s time for a Tic Tac Toe so I opted for greens, trees/foliage, and die cut/punch.

I broke out my Papertrey Ink Topiary Trio stamp set from 2014 along with its die set.  One thing I like about using my old stamps is that I am sometimes shocked how long I have had them!

I die cut the tree and added some ink to age it a bit.  I die cut a piece of white cardstock, stamped the sentiment and adhered the topiary.

I centered on the base and was done.  The die on this one is interesting in the fact that you can push up the little cuts to make it look more “alive”.  I don’t know that my attempts can be seen that well in my photo but it looks pretty cool in real life.

I don’t know that I really have a favorite animal but I do love koalas so I stamped this sweet image and colored with my alcohol markers.

I die cut the image and then popped up over a funky looking stencil.  G’day!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  A fun sketch so here we go!

I started by die cutting a lot!  I cut the two flags, the hoop, the message strips, and the hello before adhering them all together.

I stamped the sentiment using my W+ 9 hand lettered hello stamp set from 2014.  I attached some buttons and I was good to go.  I liked this sketch, it felt a bit hard but I liked stretching my imagination!

I started by stamping several images from my SSS artsy shapes stamp set.  I stamped the images in lovely lipstick, soft suede, call me clover and daffodil delight.  Then I added the sentiment in call me clover.

I die cut the card front with my MFT wonky stitched rectangles and then backed with a piece of lovely lipstick before adhering to the card base.  I finished it off with a few rhinestones.

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.
