Fall Color Challenge


RRBC50

A wonderful fall color challenge is on tap for our new Retro Rubber Blog Challenge. 



I was inspired by a fellow AIR over at Imagine to create this version of a clean and simple birthday card.  It came together in about 15 minutes!



Step One:
Determine size of front panel and use a deckle edge ruler to tear water color paper to size.  Spritz with Ink Potion No. 9.  Ink Yvonne Albrition Designs Marble from about 1999 with Kaleidacolor Tomato Vine and stamp.  Ink will bleed around main stamp image.  Dab off excess with paper towel.

Step Two:
Mask unwanted portion of sentiment stamp from the Hero Arts Many Birthday Messages with tape and ink with StazOn Saddle Brown.  Remove tape and stamp sentiment in the lightest color section of the stamped image. 

Step Three:
Use a deckle edged ruler to tear hand-made paper to size to fit the front of an A7 Kraft card and adhere.  Tie decorative fiber around card and mount to front of card.

The supplies used to make this quick card.

Please come join us at Retro Rubber and try your hand at this color challenge!
