I really enjoy following the Retro Rubber Challenge blog even though I have not joined in as much as I would like to in the future. This week they have an really fun challenge in the form of a tic tac toe board.
It captured my attention and I decided that this was the week to get back into the swing of things and enter their challenge! I chose to use the first column, green, 4 x 4 card, sympathy. Here is what I made:
I had some marbelized paper with the green swirls that I thought would look nice as the background then added some small butterfly black and silver stickers backed with yellow card stock to add just a touch of another color. I like the looks of the card ... somber but not so much so as to be depressing for the recipient. The stamps I used are from a set I got back in 2012 or 13 and I had never actually used the wreath stamp before for some reason!
The marbled paper looks really great! As you say, sombre but not depressing. The butterflies add a touch of hope too. Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge.
ReplyDeleteJan, thank you for the comment! I realized after the fact that I had forgotten to include the age of the stamps I used and I have edited my blog to include that.
DeleteI love that marbled background, it's a nice touch for a sympathy card. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber. Claire DT
