Welcome to the first As You See It Challenge of 2020!  It’s a recipe challenge to use silver, snowflakes, dry embossing, rhinestones and an inspiring sentiment.

I started by stamping some snowflakes in light gray and then stamping the sentiment over the top in black ink.

I added a piece of silver cardstock and then ran the card front thru the tin types impression plate.  After that, I die cut using a stitched rectangle and adhered to the black card base.

Finally I added the rhinestones and was done!  Just a note, these photos may look a little dark – when I lighted them up, the silver was too reflective and made the dry embossing even harder to see.  (The pattern is a stitched diamond and inverted dots at the edges of the diamond.)

We have a new challenge at As You See It.  It’s a color challenge to use granny apple green, pineapple punch and blueberry bushel.

I started by stamping some roses using the yellow and the green inks.  I stamped the sentiment then die cut the sentiment in white and blueberry bushel and layered them up.

Finally I die cut the roses and a piece of blueberry bushel and adhered together.  I added the layered sentiment, some bling and was done.

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.

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!).

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!]
