A sketch for Retro Rubber using Taylored Expressions

Now that we are back in the groove of playing with fun challenges, we at Retro Rubber have a fun sketch challenge for you!

 

Recently I've been inspired to play more with my new Color Cubes and explore different color combinations. Creating my own backgrounds and supporting colored cardstock makes this super fun! 

• Using Color Cube #98 I started with Altenew inks in Teal Tempest, Canyon Clay, Coral Red, Amber Blaze, and Toasted Mauve.  
• The background stamp is Four Seasons by Taylored Expressions released in 9/2022 with matching stencil is stamped in Tuxedo Black.   Using Color Cube #98 I selected Altenew inks in Teal Tempest, Canyon Clay, Coral Red, Amber Blaze, and Toasted Mauve to color in the stencil.
• The focal image is part of the Whimsical Wildflowers stencil set in the Arch Nouveau collection.   
• Arch Nouvoeau dies are used to die cut the focal image and the backer.  
• Teal Tempest is used to distress the card base and backing for the focal image.
•  Canyon Clay is used to color the contrasting cardstock.
• The sentiment is from the set from Scrapbook.com and was released in 2022.  It is a staple for my birthday card creations! 

Just a few reminders about our challenge guidelines:
