Retro Rubber #42 Brads or Eyelets..


Hey,

It's time for another superb challenge over at Retro Rubber. 

This theme asks you to dig out old school embellishments and combine them with your older stamps


I opted for Brads, as I really do not use the massive stash of them that I have (same for eyelets..)

I have had the 'You're a Star' set by Lawn Fawn since 2013 and it informed my card idea.

I die-cut two white stitched square (dies by Simon Says Stamp) panels in two different sizes.

I stamped the Lawn Fawn sentiment on one and added the star brads - by Papermania circa 2010!! and I stamped the bigger panel with a Pebbles star stamp (approx 2014), which I then coloured with Promarkers.

I mounted the two panels onto a square card blank - voila! Complete card.

I really love it, it reignited my brad love and I have to use them more..

Your turn to show us how you've used brads and/or eyelets, but first go over to Retro Rubber and view the fun makes by my teammates.

Challenge ends on July 15th. Don't forget to use a stamp a year or older and tell us about it that's part of the fun. Also, please limit your entries to 10 challenges including ours.

    Hats off to the brad queen, that's a great card. Great call just colouring the outline of the star stamp, really clean that way and totally keeping with the style. I couldn't even manage two brads, I had to cop out with just one as a flower centre, you know I struggle with hardware! x
