Hello everyone, it is time for another challenge at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog, and this time it is an easy peasy sketch. Please check out all the fun takes on this
sketch by the Design Team
I’ve had this cool Sizzix Compass Blueprint stamp and die
set since April of 2015. I finally sat
down and created a card with this set.
Yeah me! There are five layers to
stamp to use all the dies to add dimension.
So each layer is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Blank on cream cardstock and
then colored with Square Pastel Chalks by Koss, a very quick way to color and
shade. The layers are die cut and the
compass portion was fussy cut. The label
sentiment is stamped in Memento Pistachio and Nautical Blue and the edges are
colored with the chalks. The bottom
layer is adhered directly to the card base and the next layers are adhered with
thin dimensional foam adhesive.
Come join the fun at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog and enter
your own card based on the sketch.

Hello Neva: WOW!! this is a beautiful card with awesome details and a fabulous sentiment to go with it, love the color choices, they add a very elegant and vintage feel to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the sketch.

So glad you finally inked up your stamp set, Neva... this is a wonderful card! It is not necessarily masculine but would work out well for any guy. I can also see it used as a graduation card. Lots of potential and you showcased it so well!!

Such an unusual stamp set and you did it proud! I love how you added great colors to enhance it. Great guy card, which we can never have too many of in our stash.
ReplyDeleteI like the kind of vintage/antique feel you've got going in this card, which I think is due to the softness of the chalks you've used to colour. It looks great!
