Anything Goes! time at Retro Rubber

 Everyone's favorite to showcase your latest, greatest make!  Anything goes at Retro Rubber!


 Sometimes I just take time to sit and play with my crafting stash.  This is one of those times! I also had a huge number of birthday's coming up, so there was a purposed behind creating some pretty images.

 
This is one of six cards created from this same stamped image.  All of the cards look different as the image was cut at differently and placed on the card front.
  • The image is Altenew's Flourishing Garden released in 2023.  The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I had a small selection of Altenew Fresh Die inks and used them to stencil in the layers.  Blue Horizons, Teal Tempest, honeydew Flow, Lemonade Stand  and Perodolite. 
  • This kit include an embossing folder as well.  The cardstock I had to match wasn't large enough to create a full width card panel, so being creative I inked the edges in Teal Tempest after pressure embossing the cardstock.  
  • After I decided on the placement of the floral images I trimmed the edges off of the card front and adhered the layers together.
  • I also just realized that that same Scrapbook.com Happy Birthday sentiment was also featured on a recent card here on the blog.  This time it is stamped on yellow cardstock in the Teal Tempest and die cut.
