Multnomah Falls for Nature, Naturally Retro Rubber Challenge

Our challenge for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber Challenge blog is Nature, Naturally.  With the color suggestions and knowing I had this wonderful stamp in my stash, I knew exacting what I wanted to create.  This is an image of an iconic Multnomah Falls National Recreation Site in Oregon.  It is visited by over 2 million visitors per year.  There is a historic lodge at the base that was nearly destroyed in 2017 by enormous wild fire, but was saved by firefighters dousing the lodge overnight with water from the Columbia River.  This beautiful water fall had all of it's vegetation destroyed by the fire, and the trails to the bridge and the top were deemed unstable for  over three years.  It holds a special place in the hearts of those who have visited this picturesque place including me!

 

 

• The Multnomah Falls image by Stamp Cabana from around 1997 is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on craft cardstock.
  
• EK Success Color pencils in Wedding White, Chestnut, and Baby Blue are used to color the image.  Coloring on craft cardstock makes for a stunning image.
• The image is trimmed and mounted on a scrap of blue cardstock.  
• The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations Thank You from 2018 and is stamped in Versa Magic Night Sky.
• Paper Studio flag punch is used to punch the flag shape. 
• To tie the colors and card together a craft card base in A7 size is stamped with Judikins background stamp  from around 1998 in Versa Color Baby Blue.  Chalk based inks work well on craft cardstock.
  
• The layers are adhered together and a card is ready for Father's day which is still a few months away. 

Here is the inspiration image from Retro Rubber, have fun interpreting it in your own way!
