It’s time once again for a new Retro Rubber Challenge. First, I hope you have seen the gorgeous cards displaying beautiful flowers in our last challenge. Congrats to all of the winners but I have to say that it was incredibly difficult to pick our favorites. Our new challenge is all about the colors you see in the image here. We aren’t going to be picky about the colors you choose as long as you are trying to use the photo as best you can. I chose to make an all occasion card with the Hello stamp set released during 2016 Sale-A-Bration. I really enjoy using large sentiments to make a great focal point!

 

It’s All in the Details

  • This card started by choosing my colors: So Saffron, Pool Party and Marina Mist. I chose Marina Mist to be the card base (5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″).
  • Irresistibly Floral Speciality DSP is extremely versatile. I cut it to 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ and sponged it with the Sponge Brayer in So Saffron till I was happy with the depth of color. Then, I adhered it to Pool Party cardstock (cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″) and set it aside.
  • I inked up the sentiment in Marina Mist. It was cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits then layered onto Marina Mist cardstock, cut with the next larger size in the Lots of Labels Framelits. They were adhered together and set aside.
  • Two flowers from the DSP were sponged with Pool Party. The first was fussy cut in its entirety and the second was fussy cut to make the inner layer. Three leaves from the May Flowers Framelits were cut and adhered to the bottom of the flower.
  • Pool Party Stitched Satin Ribbon was wrapped around the background layers then the panel was adhered to the card base.
  • I cut a Lace Doily in half and glued it under the ribbon. The sentiment was popped up on dimensionals over ribbon. I placed the flower down with dimensionals, then decided a bow would be a nice touch on the other side of the sentiment.
  • Finishing Touch: I found a small So Saffron designer button and topped it off with  a pearl for the flower center. Three pearls were added to the upper right corner and this card was done!

Last Call for the FUNtastic Eastern Palace Bundle

The Eastern Palace Bundle absolutely screamed at me when I first saw it. Screamed. It is so different from anything Stampin’ Up! has ever done before. Not only is it geometric, but the thought process is completely different to coordinate the stamp set and thinlits. The stamps actually accent the thinlits instead of the thinlits accenting the stamps. Plus the thinlits can make a multitude of patterns by mixing and matching them. You will really love using both together to get that WOW factor. I think this bundle is a Must Have so get it now during this promotion!

I wanted to see what it looked like with my style of stamping – you know, layers, texture, ribbons and sequins! I’m sure there will be lots of use out of this bundle in the months to come!!

 

It’s All in the Details

  • The cardbase is Dapper Denim cut to 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″.
  • Eastern Palace Specialty DSP, cut to 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″, then layered onto Lemon Lime Twist, cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″.
  • The “sunflower” from Eastern Medallions Thinlits was cut in Dapper Denim cardstock, then cut with paper snips to release it from the paper. Easy!
  • Eastern Gold Vinyl Sticker was layered onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals on top of the “sunflower” focal point.
  • Gold Sequin Trim and Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon were trimmed and stapled together. Then, I made a bow with Gold Baker’s Twine and glued down with Tombow glue.
  • Label Me Pretty Stamp Set was used to stamp the design around the sentiment in Dapper Denim, then punched out with the new Pretty Label Punch. The sentiment was stamped into the dotted circle stamped image then punched with the 1 1/4″ circle punch.
  • Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon was cut and adhered to the background layers then all were placed onto the card base.
  • Finishing Touch is the Faceted Gems, an embellishment that I am quickly beginning to love!
