Retro Rubber Challenge 208 - Sweet Summer

The timing on today's card is so perfect! I used this set called Hello Cupcake (from 2019) on a couple of other cards a year ago. I just mailed one out this morning and, having only one left, thought that I need to make some more because they're so cute. An hour later I went over to Retro Rubber's Challenge #208 (RRCB208) and saw that the theme this time is Sweet Summer! So perfect! 

I pulled out my set and managed to coordinate inks, Copics and papers to come up with this cute card. I love the theme of Challenge 208 because it really screams "summer!" Unfortunately, I didn't use ice cream stamps, and their whole team did, so I broke that mold. But all their cards are truly adorable and so very summery.

Here's my supply list:

• Stampin' Up! Hello Cupcake (2019)
• Orange & Red Card Stock (Joann)
• Doodlebug Designs Petite Prints Patterned Paper
• Misc. Yellow Gingham Paper
• Memento Toffee Crunch
• Memento Ladybug Ink
• Memento Rose Bud Ink
• Memento Catelope Ink
• Memento Dandelion Ink
• Memento Tangelo Ink
• Stampin' Up! Parakeet Party Ink
• Copics E30, RV00, R20, Y23, Y11, YR02, RV52 and YG11

It was fun to get this set out again and make a happy rainbow card with it. On the left I've included a picture of the last card I made using this too. It made a perfect slimline card with all those piles of icing! Today's card wasn't quite as tall, but I still needed it to be bigger than the standard A2 size. I was able to get all 6 scoops on a 4.25 x 6.25 size which is an A-4 size. I had some extra A4 envelopes so that worked out well.

It's a really fun set and you can probably pick it up for not a lot of money if you stumble upon in on eBay or such. I actually picked mine up at a yard sale, not sure if I would really like it or not. I'm so glad I did!

Thanks so much to Jane and everyone over at Retro Rubber for another fun challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, and have a sweet summer!
