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.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, feminine
Little Red Wagon, a theme for her.
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.
Thanks for visiting,

I agree that it was worth the time to add to gold outlines to the diecut. It makes a really special card for a special occasion. It's lovely to have you guest design with us this time around.
