It is time to play with a new sketch at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog,
please stop by and see all the delightful creations of the design team! Without further ado, try your hand at this
sketch, we would love to see what you come up with! Just a few rules to remember, use your retro
rubber older than a year and tell us how old it is, and link up to 10
challenges or fewer.
1.
The
background Heartfelt Creations “Cogs and Gears” is stamped in Memento Tuxdeo
Black on white card stock trimmed to 4” x 5 ¼”.
The edges are inked as well.
2.
Each of the robots from Sassafras “I Heart
Robots” is stamped in Memento Tuxdeo Black on vellum trimmed to 4” x 5 ¼”. The edges are inked as well.
3.
Each robot is colored from the back with Memento
Dual Markers. Tangelo, Rose But, Grape
Jelly, Bahama Blue, and Bamboo Leaves were used here.
4.
The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is Studio G and
is stamped in Brilliance Starlight Black and heat embossed with Imagine Crafts
Copper embossing powder. I learned
something while making this card. Did
you know that if you stamp on vellum with pigment inks and are not satisfied
with the results you can actually clean the ink off the vellum? Yep! I
heated the card stock to dry off the moisture from the baby wipe and re-stamped
the image. Wahoo, project saved!
5.
The vellum is attached to the background
cardstock with two nail-head brads (unknown), idea-ology by Tim Holtz Mini Paper
Clips, and Sprocket Gears. There is also
a tiny bit of adhesive behind the bodies of each robot.

Oh Neva, this is such a cute card, love, love that background, it's just perfect for this theme, all of the details you added with the nails and the gears and the paper clips, simply fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't know you could wipe ink from Vellum!!! that is a great tip!! thank you for sharing it, wish I'd known this before, I've tossed many pieces of stamped Vellum because of mishaps or because I wasn't happy with them.
Big Hugs,
Maria.
Neva, this card is totally fun and perfect for a boy's birthday! Love the colors, love the combination of the two stamp sets and "separating" them with vellum was a great touch. Totally fun!!
