It’s time for a new As You See It Challenge!  It’s a sketch challenge and I loved the sketch.

I went super clean and simple by using my sentiment as the line and sentiment.  (does that make sense? lol!)  I added three birds to sit on part of the swoop in the serenity image.

My card is one layer and I used my linen impression plate for a bit of texture (naturally!).

Supplies:  CS:  PTI white.  SU! crushed curry, night of navy and cherry cobbler.  Stamps:  PTI brushed birds.  Dies:  PTI linen impression plate.  Memory Box resting birds.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  LeAnne created this fun challenge for theme week which is Beaches!

I dug out an old Lawn Fawn stamp set and created a very relaxing scene.  Who doesn’t want to be lying in a hammock on the beach?  Actually, the palm trees and hammock look like a smiling face.  LOL!

I stamped the images and then used my chalks to add the color.  I die cut the image and ran thru the linen impression plate before adhering to the kraft card base.

Welcome to our new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s anything goes!

I started by stamping this image from PaperTrey Ink’s Fashion Sense stamp set from 2015.  I stamped the background in black and then added the dress in flirty flamingo.  I added the sentiment across the image itself which is a bit unusual for me.

I added a strip of flirty flamingo beneath the white card front and some bling as well!

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge! 

Since it is a tic tac toe challenge I naturally went for the one layer card, birds and sponging.

I started by using a leaf stencil and sponged peach parfait and peekaboo peach inks for the color.

This beautiful bird stamp and a whimsical sentiment finished off the card.  Both the bird and sentiment came from the Close To My Heart Live Inspired stamp set that I have had for about seven years.

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 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.

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.
