Retro Rubber Challenge #264 - Sketch time!

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 needed a hello card for a friend, and I thought this awesome set by Avery Elle 'Stuck on You' would be perfect. I used a scalloped circle die to add a bit of interest and the sentiment is also by Avery Elle 'Speech Bubbles'. I love the little faces you can add to the cacti! I coloured them using Altenew Markers.

Supplies: Avery Elle 'Stuck on You' and 'Speech Bubbles' - I have had both since 2020. Scalloped die is by The Works.

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

Challenge ends February 6th.

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.

Catch The Bug: Saturday Colour Challenge...

Hey,

Happy Saturday to you!

Hubby and I are heading upstate this weekend to go hiking..might be a tad chilly, so it might just end up being a cosy weekend in a hotel bar :)

This week over at the Catch The Bug Saturday challenge we have a colour challenge for you.

I am a big purple fan, so these colours made me very happy.

I decided to use the Circle Sentiments - Warm Wishes stamp, as I thought it would look lovely in the colours.

I coloured the image, using Promarkers and die-cut it using a scalloped circle die. I added some purple sequins to the image.

I found a matching spotty card blank and to anchor my circle I added a strip of gold glittery washi tape.

It turned out perfectly and is going to a friend who left NYC behind for the warmer climes of Florida (yes I am jealous).

Hope you will be playing along too. Can't wait to see which image you choose to use.

Upload your makes at the Catch The Bug blog and check out the rest of the DT makes.

Hola! Cactus Friends..

Hola!

Welcome to the first day of May..given the way the weather is going, it feels like Summer is not far away.

I haven't seen a couple of friends in a while and I thought I would send them a cheery little Hola! card.

The backgrounds I created by smooshing 3 different green distress inks and then I die-cut them out using my new from London stitched, scalloped mini square dies.

The Cacti are by Jillibean soup and I coloured them with Zigs.

I love them, they are so cute and the mini kraft blanks work so well here (thanks JT).
