Retro Rubber Bold Summer Color Challenge

 A cool summer color challenge over at Retro Rubber.  Please do join along and share your project with this stunning color combination!

 

My take on the challenge focused on the four of the hues and a fun Inspired Dragonfly set from Technique Tuesday released in 2016.  

 

The Inspired Dragonfly set included a die with details and background die as well.

• VersaFine Clair in Glamorous, Verdant, and Paradise created the bold summer palette to stamp the background Dragonflies.  
• Cardstock is sponged with Verdant for the die cut dragonfly base, and Paradise for the details.  
• The panels are die cut with Waffle Flower's Piercing Layer dies.  With careful planning a smaller rectangle can be die cut.
• The sentiments is from the Inspired Dragonfly set. 
• The layers are adhered together, with the die cut dragonfly and sentiment are adhered with dimensional foam adhesive.

Retro Rubber Fruity Fun

 Time to pull out your fruit related stamps and make something fun!

 I was in need of a get well card, so I choose a set from Technique Tuesday called Funny Fruits released in 2018.  Makes for a cute card!

 The color scheme is from my Color Cubes #917 and the sketch is Sheetload of Cards for June 2026.

• The image is stamped in Tuxedo Blank and colored with Versa Color inks in Canary, Lime and Topaz.  It is die cut with the matching die.
• The sentiments is stamped in VersaFine Clair Monarch and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
• Pink & Main's Stitched Arches were used to created the focal point frame. 
• Searching through my scraps I found two patterned papers to complete the sketch.  These were die cut with Waffle Flower Piercing Layer dies.
• All the layers are adhered to a A2 top folding card.

All the creative possiblities of a Tic Tac Toe!

We love to see all the options that happen when the challenge is a Tic Tac Toe over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  Here are your choices:

 

I choose die cut or punch, stripes, and my choice.  I've been playing around with Color Cubes, and this card using #98 for inspiration.

• The background on the top is Concord & 9th's In the Meadow Turn-a-bout released in 2022.  Altenew inks in Maple Yellow and Cherry Sweet, along with Memento Love Letter and Rose bud were used to ink the stamp for each successive turn.
• Christina Werner's Layered Plaid Stencil was used to create the matching stripes.  
• Die cuts from the In the Meadow set are inked with coordinating colors as are the edges of the layers. 
• A Fiskars border punch is used to punch yellow cardstock.
• Pinkfresh Studios Double Stitched Oval die cut is stamped with Scrapbook.com's Birthday sentiment. 
• The layers are adhered together.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope you play along with us at Retro Rubber!
