Retro Rubber 238 - The Great Outdoors

Today's card was made especially for Retro Rubber's Challenge #238. (#rrcb238) The theme is The Great Outdoors. And keeping in mind that you have to use a stamp that's older than one year, I started off with a favorite from Stampin' Up! called Always An Adventure. This one dates all the way back to 2016, but it's a great go-to, especially for those difficult guy cards.

Here's my complete supply list:

• SU! Always an Adventure Stamp Set (2016)
• SU! Cajun Craze Ink
• SU! Pear Pizzazz Ink
• Memento Old Olive Ink
• Memento Bamboo Leaves Ink
• Memento Ladybug Ink
• Memento Rhubarb Stalk Ink
• Memento Rich Cocoa Ink
• Memento Summer Sky Ink
• Versa Mark Ink
• Clear Embossing Powder
• Papertrey Blueberry Bushel Card Stock
• Stampendous Sentiment
• Copics Y15 & Y26 

I made the stars by stamping them with Versa Mark Ink then heat embossing with clear powder. That made them stay white, like the paper they were stamped on. Then I brushed the blue ink over top of that. I really like the look.

The sentiment was a last minute decision. I thought it looked a little bare but there wasn't a lot of room to stamp too much. I went looking for a small sentiment and thought the words "Keep Looking Up" was perfect for a starry sky. 

It's always a lot of fun playing along over at Retro Rubber. They would love to have you join in!
