Retro Rubber Challenge - Sketch


I decide to join in the challenge at Retro Rubber  this week.  It is a sketch challenge and this is the sketch.  

RRCB 33

I have just found this challenge blog and  I have enjoyed the challenges I have joined in.  I am excited about a chance of using some of my stash of rubber stamps.  One of the rules of the challenge is you always had to use a stamp older than a year and include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. 

My stylish ladies are a set of rubber stamps I probably had for about ten years.  They are unmounted so I no longer remember who's stamps they belong to.  The sentiment is Stampin Up and was dated 2006. 

Thank you for stopping by and check out the Retro Rubber Challenge.  It is time to get inky.

Guest Designer at Retro Rubber


I am so happy to be a guest designer at Retro Rubber Challenge blog this week.   I made this card for their "winter scene"  challenge this week. 

The idea of this challenge blog is that they require you to use at least one rubber stamp that you have in your stash that is over a year old.  I have used several stamps by a friend, Lisa Yang of Local Rubber King.  The card was made with using three snowman stamps along with a sentiment by A Muse Artstamps. 

The piano player can be found on the Local Rubber King blog but I think the cello player and drummer are no longer available. I extended the hill line and added a couple of snowflakes to tie the 3 stamps together.  I coloured the image with Copics and added Deep Impression embossing enamel for the snow. 

Thank you Retro Rubber for inviting me this week. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.
