A Retro Rubber & Time Out Challenge Card

Today's card is made for two challenges. Over at Retro Rubber #253 (rrcb#252) they have a Tic-Tac-Toe Board.  I went with the diagonal and included green, flowers and embossing. And over at Time Out Challenges #287 they have a stunning photo that of a booth in Luxenbourg where Kate, a DT member was selling her cards. How cool is that!

Since the photo had distinct colors and designs, I started with that. I was inspired bu the flowers on the dress, the lace on her head, the green costumes and the little flowers on the right side of the photo. 

 Here's my complete supply list:

  • Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Stamp Set (2021)
  • SU! Shaded Spruce Card Stock and Ink
  • Cream Card Stock (Michaels)
  • True White Speckletone Card Stock
  • Ranger Embossing Powder in Vintage Pearl
  • Green, Pink & Purple Embossing Powder (Michaels)
  • SU! Delicate Lace Dies
  • Technique Tuesday Die (for sentiment)
  • Nuvo Drops in Buttermilk

The card is a little hard to see with the cream on cream embossing, but it looks better in person. The picture below helps a little too. 

It was really fun making this card. Never would I ever had made it without the inspiration of these two challenges. Be sure to pop over and check them out if you get a chance.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

  1. Wow, Barb! What a stunner! And I am so impressed that you could combine these two challenges! I guested at TOC for this one, and it was a stumper for me, lol. These flowers are still among my faves, and how beautiful in tone-on tone - just perfect! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber (AND Time Out Challenges!)!
