It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card using spring flowers.

I opted to go with one of my top favorite spring flowers – daffodils!  They just make me happy!  I stamped the daffy image using my Clearly Besotted miniature florals from 2015.  I colored in using, what else, daffodil delight and granny apple green blends.

I stamped the starburst image (2015) in daffodil delight and then fussy cut the image and popped up.  I added the sentiment from 2015 and was done!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use spring flowers!

I dug out this spring flowers stamp set that I have had for a long time and never used.  I thought I could finally beat this challenge and make a card in about 6 minutes (I know we have 10 minutes but I always seem to need the whole 10 minutes).  I did not think this through.  LOL.

The image stamping (and linen plate) took about 3 minutes – I took a quick peek at the timer and thought I can do this – just the coloring left!  Umm…no I couldn’t.  I spent the next 6 minutes and 53 seconds coloring.  Maybe next time!  Time left:  7 seconds.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card with spring flowers.

I dug out my Papertrey Ink Flower Favorites from 2015 and inked up the iris image.  I used some distress inks so that I could spritz them with water to make a watercolor image.  I didn’t set out to have the splatter background – but one iris image with too much pressure and ink went flying.

I added the sentiment and then used my deckled edges to cut the card front and the gorgeous grape background.  I added some linen thread and then adhered to my pear pizzazz base.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card that celebrates spring!

I love spring flowers and opted to go with some tulips.  I stamped them using my Clearly Besotted Miniature Florals from 2015 and colored using alcohol markers.  I die cut using my deckled edges and then did a daffodil delight die cut to back the image.

I used crumb cake as my base and some daffodil delight seam binding for the ribbon.  My sentiment is from my often used Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.  We have secret pals at work so my pal will get this thank you card next month for all the goodies I have received over the past nine months.  I have been spoiled!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to use up our scrap stashes.

This is not the card I started out to make.  I came across the tulips while looking for something else.  But I liked the idea of using the tulips so here we are.  We are knee deep in snow and expecting up to another foot in the next couple of days.  I need some spring flowers!

I stamped the spring sentiment and then popped up the tulips after adding a bit of twine.  I meant to add some bling but forgot.  It happens.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite thing about spring is: all of the spring flowers.  Tulips, daffodils, irises.  I love to see them pop up in the spring after the cold winter.

I stamped the tulip images and then colored using my stampin’ blends.  I die cut them and added a bit of linen thread.

I die cut the card base using the split card textures die and then adhered the tulips.  I added the sentiment and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to use flowers on a card.

I stamped this fun house mouse lilac image on crumbcake and then colored with my alcohol markers.  The stamp is the Sensory Overload from 2009.  It’s the first time I have ever used it and I shouldn’t have waited so long!

I die cut with a pierced rectangle and then backed it with heather highland.  I stamped the sentiment from my Papertrey Ink Spring Hills from 2013 before adding this beautiful purple twine.  I adhered to the base and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s tic tac toe!  I chose pattern paper, dry embossing and die cut.

I started by running all of my paper through the linen impression plate.  Then I stamped the tulips and die cut them.  The images are from my Papertrey Ink Tulip Time stamp set from 2016.

I die cut the pear pizzazz and then ran it through the gridlines impression plate for my dry embossing.  I die cut it and the pattern paper with my mini stitched scallop rectangles.  I layered everything on my card base and added the sentiment which is from my Papertrey Ink Spring Hills stamp set from 2013 and punched out with my washi tape punch.  The dots added the final bit and I was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a sketch challenge!

I had many stops and starts on this one and ended up with something super clean and simple.  More simple than I intended for sure!  I cut some pattern papers and backed with crisp cantaloupe and adhered to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from my Neat and Tangled Scandinavian Flowers stamp set from 2015, die cut and popped up on the card.  Done after about three hours of different ideas.  Sometimes I find the simpler the sketch, the harder it is.  Too many options!  Hopefully you won’t be stymied!

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

I started with these lovely tulip stamps from Papertrey Ink (2016) that I stamped in shades of pink and green and then die cut them.

I did a plaid die cut background out of blushing bride that I popped the tulips on.  Finally, I added the sentiment from my Neat and Tangled Scandinavian Flowers from 2015.
