Retro Rubber #275 - Colour Challenge...

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

This time we have a colour challenge for you. This palette was chosen by me, I love ceramics and the plates really drew me in!

I thought this cute set by Avery Elle 'Rawr' that I have had since 2020 would work well with the colours. I basically built a collage of rectangles in the colours, creating a background for my sweet Dinos. I coloured the Dinos using colours/tones from the palette. The banner die is also by Avery Elle, but is ancient and from 2015!!

I can't wait to see how you use the colours, don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends July 10th.

Don't forget to tell us the age of your stamp, that is part of the fun of our challenge, and please only enter 5 challenges including Retro Rubber.

Retro Rubber Challenge #273 - Tic Tac Toe...

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a sketch for you this time, created by me!

I love a tic-tac-toe board and I gave this board to my friends on our recent playdate and we all made fun cards.

I went with the 1st vertical row die-cut, blue and stencil.

I used blue distress oxide ink through an old faithful fan stencil by Dutch Doobadoo. I've had it since 2016 and the birthday sentiment is from 2025 by Scrapbook.com

I added a little blue glittery strip to lift the sentiment off the stenciled background.

Fun card, kinda feels masculine.

Show us your interpretation of the sketch, pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends June 12th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #272 - Time to get sketchy...

 

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a sketch for you this time

You know how much I love a sketch!

I tried a bunch of ideas, that I didn't love! But then I saw this stamp in my stash and it all came together.

I stamped off the edge of the panel and coloured in parts of it.

I searched for the right sentiment for about 2 hours lol!

The main stamp is by Visible Image 'See Everything', I have had it since 2019. The sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts.

Show us your interpretation of the sketch, pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends May 29th.

Retro Rubber #271 - Colour Challenge - Cotton Candy Spring...

Hey,

Welcome to another awesome Retro Rubber challenge.

This time we have a colour challenge for you - pretty springy candy colours!

These colours were so much fun to work with!

Of course, I had to grab my fave MFT Mini Cloud Edger stencil to create a pretty sky for the card I had in mind. I added a Taylored Expressions grass die-cut and then die-cut the whole panel using a stitched rounded rectangle die.

I love this Mama Elephant 'Little Line Agenda' set (I have had it since 2024). It's always so cute. I coloured one of the lines using the colours from the challenge and added a bit of grey for the bunnies. It's very easy to fussy cut, so I did that and popped it up with some foam tape. I mixed a couple of sentiments to get what I wanted.

How will you use the colours? I can't wait to see! Don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends May 15th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #270 - Theme - Singing in the rain..

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

This time we have a fun theme for you - 

Being English, I am not a fan of rain, but I do like the imagery associated with rain - boots, umbrellas, droplets, etc

I dug the 2 Simon Says Stamp sets that I used for this card out of the archives. I have had both of them since 2015! Big Birthday Wishes and Abby's Spring Showers.

I added a pearl to her hat as fun little touch.

Show us your interpretation of the theme, pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends May 1st.
