On your special day.

 

Hi everyone, I was excited to be asked to guest design for Retro Rubber as one of the winners of Challenge #154 with this card.

I love using my stash of older stamps, and this is the perfect challenge for using them, your stamps just need to be at least one year old.

This challenge has a tic tac toe theme:

I've gone with the diagonal hearts, heat embossing and something shiny.

I diecut the solid part of the heart vine from an inky background in my stash, then topped it with the outline layer cut from gold foil cardstock. It was a bit fiddly to glue but worth it I think!

The sentiment stamp is from the Especially For You set by Happy Little Stampers, (the company has closed down). I googled the set and it was released in 2016.

I stamped it with versafine nocturne ink and heat embossed it with clear powder.

Here's a closer look

The design team have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.

Mix It Up Chalenge Blog, with the optional twist of up to 3 layers.

My card has 3 layers in parts, but I'd better stick with the anything goes option as it's still very CAS.

Supplies:

Honeybee Stamps lovely layers heart vine die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; smooshed inky background using distress spray stains; gold foil cardstock; Happy Little Stampers especially for you sentiment.
