Sketchy Time at Retro Rubber

 This is a a bit more complicated, but beautiful when complete!  Come join us at Retro Rubber and play along!

This card will go to a dear family member.  It was a labor of love and really fun to put together.

Heartfelt Creations came out with Seasonal Wreath set in 2021.  The underlying wreath is paper cut with dies.  The different season have coordinating stamps and dies.  The finishedI really like how the layers work together!

• The wreath is die cut from green cardstock, the bow from red glitter paper and gold metallic.
• The images were stamped in Versa Fine Clair Nocturne, Acorn, Verdant, and Green Oasis.  Then colored with Prisma Color pencils.  Then die cut with the matching dies.
• Gold metallic paper is die cut with Pink and Main Stitched Arches die.
• The green layer is just cardstock with rounded corners.
• Lawn Fawn Cuts is the Simple Wavy Banner.
•  Recollections Christmas Noel is stamped in Versa Fine Clair Glamorous and die cut.
• The card base looked a little plain so decided to use the same images on the background to tie the card together.

 I hope you enjoy this challenge!  Come and play along at Retro Rubber.

Color Challenge for Retro Rubber

 Here is a fun challenge for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber.  So many great colors to play with and create your own design.

 

I have a relatively "new" to me stencil I wanted to play with, so I adapted the colors and came up with two versions using this color palette.  

Most of my inks etc are from Imagine (aka Tsukineko) so they play well together!

• The background uses Altenew Geo Triangles stencil from 2022 and Memento inks in Angel Pink, Rose Bud, Lulu Lavender, Summer Sky, and Bahama Blue.  Different colors are featured between the two cards.
• Fireworks! shimmer mists in Angel Pink, Bahama Blue, and Lulu Lavender are sprayed on water color cardstock and dried.  The panel is cut down and inked with Memento Luxe Rose Bud.
• The trial of the background had more spray applied and once dried it became the "you" die cut from the Hot of the Press You stamp and die.  
• After the cards were assembled the additional sentiment is stamped in Memento Luxe Rose Bud and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

 The stencils did take some time, but the finished product is so fun!  Please do give this color challenge a try and show us what you come up with at Retro Rubber!
