Fall color palette at Retro Rubber

 What is amazing about this particular color palette is that I do see these colors along my street right now!  This is one of my favorite times of the year here in Northern Minnesota.  Please do check out our challenge at Retro Rubber and play along!  

 
 
  
 There really are lime green leaves still on our trees!
 
This is my version of the color choices using a very old set by Technique Tuesday released in 2013, I give thanks.  
  • The background is the lime green color with Taylored Expressions Fall Foliage Background stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and stenciled in Memento Tangelo, Altenew Melted Butterscotch and Mahogany Bark.
  • The leaves by Technique Tuesday are stamped in Rich Cocoa and die cut.
  • The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday's Echinacea released in 2017.
  • The card is edged in Rich Cocoa ink after assembly.

A clean and simple design makes for a quick card!  Please do join us at Retro Rubber with this lovely color palette.

Feels like Fall theme for Retro Rubber

 The leaves are starting to change here in Northern Minnesota, prime leaf peeping season is just in the next week or so!  Our theme at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog is:

 

My sister-in-law is a self described witch because her birthday is Halloween.  She loves to dress up for the holiday, and finds all things Halloween fun!  She enjoys the witch themed cards that I create for her birthday.  Here is this year's version.


  •  Joy Clair Trick or Treat set from 2016 has several pumpkin images with a couple of different choices for the centers.  All are stamped in VersaFine Clair Pine cone and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
  • The images are colored with Powder Puff Chalking inks in Rusty Nail, Sunset, Rouge, and Kokomo.
  • The sentiment is from Scrapbook.com Happy Birthday set.  This set is so versatile!  Sentiments in all fonts and sizes along with matching dies.  It is the only birthday sentiment set you will ever need.  The image is stamped in Altenew Mahogany Bark and then die cut.  
  • Altenew Burlap die is cut, and Burlap Press Plate provides nice texture to finish the layers of the card.   

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