Anything Goes for Retro Rubber

Always a favorite challenge at Retro Rubber is Anything Goes!  We have a few simple rules: 1) Use at least one stamp older than a year 2) enter up to ten challenges including Retro Rubber. 

A few months (well more than a year ago now!) I made several cards using Technique Tuesday's Wild Rose from 2016.  Two others have been featured here on the blog and now the last of the set.  I used the same stamp set for the purpose of showing one stamp used in three different ways.  The first can be found here and the second here. 

For this card I used a water color technique and stamping the same image as the background layers.

• Two sections of water color paper are die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles.  
• The smaller section is stamped using a stamp positioner with the Wild Rose image using Memento Morocco ink pad and Dual Tip marker for the flower section.  It is spritzed with water to allow the ink to migrate on the paper.
• The leaves are stamped using the same method and Memento Pistachio.
• The panel is dried with a head gun then over stamped to create a crisp image over the top.
• The next layer is stamped with just the flower portion and spritzed to allow the ink to migrate.
• The Kraft cardstock base is stamped with just the leave portion of the image.
• The sentiment (from the same set) is stamped in Memento Morocco.
• The layers are adhered together with dimensional foam adhesive.  

Altogether this is a quick card to put together and is a lot of fun to create.  Please do share your own Anything Goes creation with us at Retro Rubber!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
