Color My World RRBC


We have wonderful color challenge for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  Please stop by the RRCB and see all the wonderful creations by the Design Team, they really knocked it out of the park this go around. 


Try your hand at the challenge and join us!  Remember to use at least one stamp that is older than a year, identify its age, and enter 10 or fewer challenges with your project.



I decided I wanted to create a background with my colors, and did so by stamping on vellum in Memento Luxe Wedding White ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder.  The image is by Stamp Out Cute which I purchased in 1998 at the Portland Stamp Convention.  It is colored from behind with Memento Dual Markers in Cottage Ivy, Lady Bug, Paris Dusk, and Cantaloupe.  The edges of the card base are colored with Paris Dusk.  Yellow cardstock is die cut with Sizzix Framelits Drop-Ins 660143.  The Birthday Wishes didn’t pop enough so I colored a section of cardstock with Lady Bus and placed it behind the sentiment.  The vellum is adhered to the yellow cardstock frame and then to the card base.

Please join us with your colorful creation over at RetroRubber Challenge Blog.

I am delighted to enter my card in the following challenges.

  2. I was really interested to read about how you created this background. Like Debbie, I was curious to see how you'd done it - and I never guessed it right either! The way you've coloured the vellum in behind looks as though it's been watercoloured. It's lovely.
