Retro Rubber’s challenge for the next two week is ANYTHING
GOES! This is always a popular challenge
and we usually get some fantastic projects.
Please check out the fun projects the Design Team has created.
We had a big birthday in our home this last week, my son
turned 18! Wahoo! This card was inspired by the sketch over at Paper
Craft Crew Challenges.
My son likes the color blue, so I found ribbon in my stash
in several colors of blue and used that as the starting point for color
selection. I wanted to feature eighteen
on his card so I went with some really old Idea-ology grunge board—harlequin
digits & punctuation. The grunge
board readily absorbs ink, I used Memento Luxe Nautical Blue. DCWV cardstock in two coordinating colors are
added to the mix. One is pressure
embossed and sanded with Cuttlebug’s Happy Birthday embossing folder. The other is stamped with Taylored Expression
In & Out Birthday from 9/2014. The
sentiment is fussy cut before it is adhered to the card with dimensional foam
adhesive.
Please come play along with our Retro Rubber challenge and share your
ANYTHING GOES project with us! Remember
to use a stamp at least 1 year old, after all we are the Retro Rubber Blog
Challenge, and let us know how long it’s been around. We also ask that you enter only 9 other
challenges besides ours.
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteOh my, this was one of my first embossing folders and I don't think it's seen the light of day for several years! Love how you used it...so fun! Thanks so much for sharing this at the Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is really awesome, Neva, and the blue ribbon just blends right into the Monochromatic theme. Thanks so much for playing along with us. I hope that next time you think of ribbon, you will think of Really Reasonable Ribbon for all your twines, trims, ribbons, flowers, and more. We look forward to having you play along in our challenges again soon as well. Oooo….and don’t forget about our Blog Hop on the 13th. One lucky person wins the Ribbon Club Assortment, and it could be YOU this month. I hope you will join us.

The sanding really makes the embossing pop. I think it's a really great masculine card. Ah, son's 18th birthdays... If you're at all like me, you felt a lot of pressure to make it just right for him!
