I started by trying to case the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #692. Needing more inspiration, I jumped over to Retro Rubber to play along with their Tic-Tac-Toe Board (#rrcb277) and puling it all together I chose the colors to go along with the Color Dare Challenge #714.
Since it's so heavy on die cuts, I wanted to use an official "retro rubber" stamp set for this rather than just stamping on any sentiment, so I chose a really fun favorite called "Wonderful Favorites" from 2008. Looking at the photo, the words could be a little darker. But that's one thing that I don't miss about wood block stamps-you can't use them on a Misti to get a darker image unless you peel them off and that seems like a sticky mess. I used Memento Black ink, but it still seems like it could have benefited from a couple more layers of ink.
Anyway, here's my supply list:
- White Card Stock Base
- Bo Bunny Patterned Paper
- Big Box Patterned Paper
- Spellbinders Bold Blooms Dies
- Stampin' Up! Wonderful Favorites Stamp Set (2008)
- Stampin' Up! Flirty Flamingo Card Stock
- SU! Calypso Coral Card Stock
- SU! Pool Party Card Stock
- SU! Pretty Peacock Card Stock
- Black Card Stock
- SU! Brushed Brass Butterfly Dies

Very pretty card that is eye catching with all the little details. I did have to look closely to see the tiny butterflies! I agree on the wood mounted stamps, even the old method does not give us the darkness of ink that we can achieve now. Great job with the Tic Tac Toe board over at Retro Rubber. Thank you for joining us!
ReplyDeleteOoh la la This is gorgeous! And wow, that is a lot of dies to glue. lol I think the sentiment is just fine - let those gorgeous colors shine! Thank you for sharing at Color Dare.
