Celebration Time at Retro Rubber!


Welcome to the first ever blog hop for the Retro Rubber Challenge!  We are changing things up a bit to celebrate our 100th challenge!

Here’s the scoop…play along with our celebration themed tic tac toe challenge!

Then hop around to all of the design team blogs and leave a comment!  Each team member is offering up some surprise retro (new but older than a year) goodies to one lucky person who leaves a comment on their blog.  That means there will be seven winners!
As always, we will be listing the five top picks with the winning pick receiving a prize for this challenge only.

*You do not have to enter the challenge to win but you must leave a comment on the design team blogs in order to have a chance to win!

Ok . . .here we go:




Help us celebrate 100 challenges!!


I had a blast creating my card, one that used the diagonal "glitter or sparkle, confetti, and metallics".  I started with a very old confetti image from 1997 by Distinctive Impressions.  I stamped using the four cube set of Delicata that included Golden Glitz, Silvery Shimmer, Bronze Burst, and Celestial Copper.  To add a bit more sparkle I used iridescent clear embossing powder to heat emboss the images.  The edges are inked in Delicata Black Shimmer to add a bit of definition and tie the elements together.  The tag is Sheet Metal by Imagine, and the sentiment is stamped in StazOn Jet Black.  The StazOn is is also used to edge around the perimeter of the tag.  I found a really neat bit of mesh ribbon to attach the tag to the front of the card.  After searching through my stash I found a sheet of silver glitter card stock to back the confetti stamped panel.  The photo shows a tiny bit of the fun shimmer of this celebratory card.

Do play along with us at Retro Rubber, and make sure to comment by November 30th to win a great little prize from each of our blogs.  I would also appreciate new followers either via email or by the button on the left.  Remember to enter the challenge with a stamp that is at least one year or older and tell us how old it might be and to enter up to ten challenges including ours!  Have some fun hopping around all the design teams blogs.  Next up is:


Or you can find the entire list up above.  Thanks for stopping by!
