A Color Challenge for Retro Rubber.

 Hello Everyone: I hope all is good with you and your families as we deal with these very troubling times. I hope and pray that CHANGES will soon be here so we can all start healing physically, mentally and emotionally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm sure most of you are struggling with the "new and supposedly improved" Blogger Interface, and I just found out that Facebook is doing similar changes. I hope that I can still come here to share my cards with you.  I'm not fond of changes at all, especially when things are working fine, I don't know why "they", whoever they are, think that "improving" something that's running well is a good thing.

The new RETRO RUBBER challenge is a COLOR one, these colors are beautiful and fresh, so I hope you get inspired to come and play along with my teammates and me in our gallery.

This is the card I made.


This beautiful image is from my Fairy collection of plain red rubber stamps that my aunt Norma gifted me with some years ago, she found a box with about 25 plain red rubber stamps, all dirty and stained but, she knew how much I loved stamping so she bought the whole lot for about $10.00
I colored the image with Windsor&Newton watercolor markers and Prismacolor pencils for shading and for the Fairy's skin. I added some Nuvo Drops around and Glossy Accents to the drops on the rose and leaves.

This is the INSIDE of the card.


This sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called "Orchids" and I always use it when I make my Fairy cards.

I hope you go visit the RETRO RUBBER challenge blog for more inspiration from my teammates' cards and then, come and play along in our gallery.

Thank you for visiting me today.
Stay healthy, safe and please wear your masks.

XO
Maria.

Gosh, Maria, I sure hope you'll be able to continue to share here! I'd be heartbroken if you quit. If there's anything regarding the new Blogger you need help with, please let me know. This is a gorgeous card and I love these colors! I always enjoy your fairy stamps. I don't remember seeing this one. So pretty! Hugs, friend.

Maria, just like Leslie, please don't quit. Reach out to me if I can help with new Blogger. The final release actually uses features that we are familiar with. The beta was a NIGHTMARE. Anyway back to your gorgeous card, I love when you colour fairy stamps, this is so gorgeous especially with the colour palette limit. Cx
