Retro Rubber Challenge #277 - Tic Tac Toe...

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a tic-tac-toe board for you this time.

Tic tac toe is always a lot of fun!

I went with the diagonal row - Sparkle, Your Choice, Flowers. For your choice, I went with no markers!

Yep, my card was made with only inks. This ancient set by Concord & 9th 'Hello Lovely' that I have had since 2016 comes with a bunch of random shaped stamps that you can use to add colour to the stamped image.

My sparkle is a bit of bling dotted around and some wink of stella; sadly, I don't think you can see the shimmer and sparkle in my photo :(

Also my sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp and is from 2015!! 

Can't wait to see which row you chose, don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends August 7th.

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 #276 - Let's 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 had a completely different idea in mind. But remembered I had these cool Taylored Expressions Freebie 2024 postage stamps. Lisette gave them to me as a Christmas gift in 2024. I chose 3 from the 12 stamps that I thought went well together and would make a great birthday card.

It was super easy to make, I coloured the stamps using Altenew markers. The sentiment is one of many ancient ones that live on their own clear blocks on my desk, because I use them over and over. I have no idea who it's by, but it is at least 10 years old!

Such a cute card!

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

Challenge ends July 24th.

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.

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.
