Hi everyone, I was excited to be asked to guest design for The Retro Rubber Challenge, after winning a challenge there recently.
To play along you just need to use a stamp that is at least a year old, I have lots of those, as I'm sure we all do! So I hope you can play along.
This challenge theme is buttons.
.
I don't have any button dies, stamps or embossing folders, so used the real thing on my card.
I coloured two with some alcohol markers just to make the colours match.
The flowers were stamped, embossed, fussy cut then I coloured them with tombow markers.
I've had the stamp for years, though there is no date on the packet.
(There is a youtube video using the set dated 2012 though!)
I added some diecut greenery and a sentiment sticker and a snippet of ribbon for some extra colour.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Inkspirational,
AAA Birthday
As well as the 3D buttons, I diecut some additional tags to layer underneath to lift the top tag off the base, and the flowers are popped up with 3d foam squares.
