Winter Color Scheme Inspiration for Retro Rubber

Each team member contributed to the challenges for Retro Rubber this year.  This lovely color scheme was my choice, and was a great inspiration for this fun card.

 The trees in the image were also an inspiration for my stamp choice.  

• The background was created by blending Versa Magic Thatched Straw, Persimmon, Spring Pansy, Purple Hydrangea, and Pretty Petunia with an ink dauber.  Pigment based inks blend the best with sponge based ink daubers rather than small bristled blending tools.
• Pink Fresh's Through the Trees from 2019 is stamped in Versa Magic Wedding White and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.
• Versa Fine Claire Fantasia is used to stamp the sentiment.
• The image is die cut with My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangles.
• The card base is inked with Versa Magic Persimmon, and the image is mounted to the card base.
• Spellbinders sequins are added to finish the card.  

Simple and pretty, my friend really enjoyed this card.  That is part of the joy of creating cards is when the recipient truly appreciates the little masterpiece.  

Please join us at Retro Rubber and make your own card featuring this soothing palette.
