Thinking of You for Retro Rubber Anything Goes

At Retro Rubber we always enjoy seeing all the wonderful creations for Anything Goes, so now is the time to show us your best using a stamp that is at least one year or older!

I had a need to make a sympathy card this winter.  Butterflies symbolize hope and joy during hard times, so I looked up on the trusty interwebs to see what butterflies might be around with snow on the ground.  I found a few and based my color scheme on the Monarch butterfly.

I am a butterfly aficionado, and do have a few stamps and dies to choose from!

• The butterfly image is Layering Butterflies and Cutting Dies from Hot Off the Press 2017.  It is stamped in Versafine Habenaro, Vintage Sepia, Delicata Dark Brown Shimmer, and Brilliance Coffee Bean.  
• The embossed background is Snow Flurries by Darice pressure embossed on white cardstock.
• I used the die to create a mask and placed it on the background then stamped the antennae in Delicata Dark Brown Shimmer.
• The butterfly is shaped and adhered to the card front with glue dots under the body and dimensional foam adhesive under the wings.
• The edges of the card base are inked in Vintage Sepia before the card front is adhered.
• The sentiment is die cut from white cardstock using the Sentiments Four set by Spellbinders.  Then it is inked with Versafine Habenaro.  I used a liquid glue to adhere it to the front of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please do come and play along with us and create your own Anything Goes project, we would love to see it over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!  Please remember to use a stamp older than a year and tell us how long it has been around.  We also ask that you enter only up to ten challenges including ours.  Have a wonderful day!
