Sketchy Time at Retro Rubber

 Sketches are a great way to get a card quickly put together.  This sketch is no exception.  Stop by Retro Rubber Challenge Blog and check out all the cool ways the design team used this sketch.  

For my version I went with scraps laying on my table, and water color paper that I had tried a little experiment with to create this card.

• The background base white cardstock has Fireworks! in Danube Blue gently tapped on the background.  (Honestly I though of this after the card was finished, and had to dismantle gently and then reattach after the Fireworks! dried.)  
• The watercolor paper has Bahama Blue and Teal Zeal Memento inks applied directly to the paper, and then spritzed with water so the colors would blend a bit.  Water color paper has a fun finish texture.
  
• The scraps that were already trimmed to 1 1/8" were trimmed down to 3" long.  
• After the layers were attached to the card base the Happy Birthday Sentiment from Taylored Expressions from September 2014 In and Out Birthday was stamped in Memento Luxe Danube Blue and heat embossed with iridescent embossing powder.  

My definition of a quick card!  I actually made three in less than 20 minutes!  Please do join us over at Retro Rubber and have some quick fun with this simple sketch!
