Retro Rubber 100 - Design Team Card


Welcome to the first ever blog hop for the Retro Rubber Challenge. We are changing things up a bit to celebrate our 100th challenge!

Here’s the scoop…play along with our celebration themed tic tac toe challenge.
Then hop around to all of the design team blogs and leave a comment. 
Each team member is offering up some surprise retro (new but older than a year) goodies to one lucky person who leaves a comment on their blog.  That means there will be seven winners.
As always, we will be listing the five top picks with the winning pick receiving a prize, for this challenge only.
*You do not have to enter the challenge to win but you must leave a comment on the design team blogs in order to have a chance to win!

So, here's this week's 100th Challenge Tic Tac Toe. It's choc full of celebration goodness. Don't forget that even for our birthday, you need to use a stamp that's at least one year old and tell us how old that stamp is.



I went for the first vertical line: balloons - ink smooshing - glitter or sparkle.

I started off with Balloon Celebration, which first appeared in the 2016 Occasions catalogue. I stamped a couple of balloons on silver foil using StazOn, then cut one from silver glimmer paper to add that sparkle element. There's more glimmer paper in the die cut behind the sentiment and a few silver sequins to add to the shine.


Using Pacific Point and Balmy Blue, a craft mat and spritzer of water, I ink smooshed up a panel to put behind the balloons. I even broke out the Scattered Sequin embossing folder for a bit more party!



Help us celebrate 100 Challenges. Don't forget to leave a comment to be in to win a prize.
