Retro Rubber 107 - Design Team Card

This week at Retro Rubber Challenge, we've got a tic-tac-toe challenge for you. I'm very excited about it because I got to make it up. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I have enjoyed making it!
As always, the proviso with Retro Rubber is that you must use at least one stamp that is older than a year and give us an approximate age for it.


I played the centre row: thank you - leaves - repeat stamping.

I had fun with this one. I used Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay re-inkers and a baby wipe to make my own ink pad to repeat stamp the leaves from Petal Palette. Petal Palette was released in January 2018 in the Occasions Catalogue.


I've added in some die-cut foliage from the Petals&More thinlits to further highlight the sentiment.


Have a look at what the rest of the team have done at Retro Rubber Challenge, then why not join us? Remember - use at least one stamp older than a year and give us an approximate age for it.

The Paper Players 430

It's sketch week at The Paper Players and what a great one it is!


While I'm usually a CAS girl, sometimes I like a good layered card just as much and this sketch was made for it. One of my many favourites is Petal Palette and I've used it again here.

The two rectangle panels are represented by the a layer of the Chicken Wire element which is now retired. The second, by a rectangle of card embossed using one of the Petal Pairs embossing strips. The base white card front has been embossed using the aptly named Subtle dynamic impressions embossing folder before assembling the rest.


The oval-but-could-be-any-shape is represented by the floral spray and die cut leaves. The horizontal element by a strip of cardstock stamped with the dots from the set and overlaid with the die cut lattice cut from silver foil, to tie in with the silver of the chicken wire.


I've coloured the floral spray using Stampin' Blends of various colours.

A Bright Petal Palette

I had to be quick in my craft room today. We're in the midst of a summer heat wave so I have to craft before the heat is unbearable and I'm driven to get in the pool instead!

Inspiration came from two sources today. The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the bright colour challenge at Inspire. Create.


I've been spending a lot of time with items from the new Occasions catalogue lately so today, I went for my favourite set from the Annual Catalogue instead, Petal Palette. For some reason, I usually reach for soft colours when using this set. Perhaps it's the romantic, vintage feel of it, Today, I thought I'd try it out with something brighter.


Using Stampin' Blends to colour the images was fun and it was so very easy to get the roses in a mix of Lovely Lipstick and Calypso Coral. Just to give the two sprays some differentiation, the centre rose at the top is popped up. Call Me Clover made really punchy leaves while the Pineapple Punch was a great accent for the flower centres and, mixed with some Calypso Coral, buds. Night of Navy acted as a perfect neutral for the bright floral bunches. So perhaps I won't reach for the pastel shades quite so quickly in future for this set!
