Anything Goes! at Retro Rubber

Everyone's favorite challenge to enter is anything goes, right?  I do enjoy seeing all the different styles of cards that show up on these challenges!  Join us over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog and play along.

 

 

There are many birthday cards I like to send out for the month of August.  It is by far the most busy month for me to send greeting to my family and friends.  Here is one I created using the Altenew Alluring Orchids released in 2024.  What I like about this set is the spots at the center of the flower are a stamp, making them very easy to add to the flower.

•  The outline of the orchids is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  
• Altenew's Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Magenta, Jazzberry, Soft Lilac, Lavender Feilds, Deep Iris, Midnight Violet, and Matcha Tea are applied through the layered stencil sets.
• Midnight Violet is stamped on the image with the corresponding stamp.   
• The image is die cut with the matching die.
• Cardstock is inked with Matcha Tea and the sentiment from Scrapbook.com Happy Birthday is stamped in Midnight Violet before die cutting.
• The black background is splattered with Spellbinders Opaque White water color.
• The layers are adhered together and the edges of the orchid image are trimmed off the card edges.

Thanks so much for checking out the blog, it is always wonderful to read your comments.
