Thank You For Your Kindness Retro Rubber Challenge #58


It is always nice to have a thank you card ready to go in the card stash, so for the Anything Goes challenge this fortnight at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog to re-stock my stash. 


Give the challenge a go and make your own Anything Goes project.  Remember to use a stamp older than a year and identify the age, and enter up to 10 challenges including Retro Rubber!



I started with a sketch and color inspiration to get my creative mojo flowing and keep the design fairly clean and simple.  I started by pressure embossing white cardstock with Cuttlebug Devine Swirl and then cut an angled section to match the sketch.  The raised portion and edges are inked with Memento Teal Zeal.  The base card was masked to make a framed area for the textured section and then inked with Memento Dandelion.  Taylored Expressions In and Out Thanks sentiment set from 2014 provided the two stamps for the sentiments.  They are stamped in Memento Lilac Posies.  The textured layer is adhered and the card is finished lickety split! 

I was inspired by the following challenges:

  1. Neva, when I first looked at the image on the bottom panel, I thought it was stenciled. The inked embossing folder is a lovely detail and especially in the gorgeous teal color! And I love the sentiment that you used just above the diagonal cut! It's a great card for your stash!!

  4. Hello Neva: When I saw your card I immediately recognized the Embossing Folder you used, I have had it for a long time but I forgotten the name so, thank you so much for providing it, I'm going to create the sticker for it.
    I love the way you used this EF with ink, love the teal color and the beautiful sentiment font.
    Fabulous card.
    Hugs,
    Maria.

  7. Neva, I love your card, I wanted to play along with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge too, but none of my off the edge ideas worked for me this week! I love the 3 bright colours, that make the whole thing pop off of the white background. Clairex

  8. The inked embossing is a real attention getter and it matches well with the flowing font of the 'Thank You".
