Retro Rubber Challenge 105 Wish Big


Happy Tuesday, everyone!  I hope you had a nice weekend....Monday sort of got away from me, but it's okay and I am back with our latest Retro Rubber sketch challenge!  Check it out:

No photo description available.

Yep, we are pairing with Try Stamping on Tuesday this week!  How fun is that?!  Be sure to check out what those talented stampers on their design team created!  They've used some of their well-loved "oldie" stamps too!

I am not quite sure why, but my last two RR challenge submissions have been cowboy-themed!!  What's up with that?!  I do like these types of cards for guys, so I guess that's my reasoning!  This card uses a set from 2010 called Out West...I am so glad I kept it!  Here we go:


I stamped my cowboy in Early Espresso ink on some burlap-printed paper from Authentique, diecut him with a stitched die and added a Poppy Parade scalloped mat; the sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts (2013) was stamped the same way:


I added three banners and adorned them with some enamel dots:

 

And on the inside of the Naturals White card, I stamped a birthday sentiment from a past Paper Pumpkin set as well as some of the other elements from the Out West set:


Yee haw!  I had a lot of fun making this card and it's already out in the mail for its intended recipient!!  I hope you'll play along with our sketch this week...I just love sketches, don't you?  Be sure to use stamps that are at least one year old and tell us how old they are too!  Can't wait to see what you share at the RetroRubber blog!

I haven't shared a picture of Eden lately...here she is, just chillin' with her favorite pillow!  She's obviously on trend, it has SUCCULENTS on it, LOL!


Enjoy your day and be blessed!

  7. Great guy card, LeAnne! Your use of the burlap background was inspired! It really gives a western feel on top of the more obvious western elements. Love the brown and red together, too. Especially liked the enamel dots on the "flags". Glad our two blogs could join up for this challenge! Come on back to TSOT anytime you need a sketch inspiration!!! -Donna

  9. There's a real Western rodeo vibe happening here, for which that amazing burlap paper is just perfect. I can't believe it's paper and not the real thing!
