Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your families are well, taking care of each other and staying healthy and safe.

The RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE design team has a fun Tic, Tac, Toe grid, design by Jan Clothier that I'm sure you'll want to play with, so come on over our challenge page and get inspired by the cards of my talented teammates, we can't wait for you to show us what you created.
This is Jan's last post with us, it's very sad for us to bid goodby to this amazingly talented crafter, she's going to be sorely missed.
This is the Tic, Tac, Toe grid.
This is the inside.
Several years ago, I think it was back in 2013-2014, my aunt gifted me with a box of plain red rubber stamps she found at a thrift store, there were 25 in total, and all of them are gorgeous, this "Autumn Fairy" is one of them.
I stamped the image on a panel of vanilla card stock and colored it with Prismacolor pencils, I added some gold to the design on her outfit and boots.
I used an old stencil to create the background, my intention was to create the illusion of distance, I hope I achieved that.
The inside sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called "Orchids", (2011) and I only use it when I make Fairy cards, I think the words are perfectly fitted for them.
I used the "Modern Label Punch" for the sentiment. (SU retired)
I hope you come and check out the RETRO RUBBER challenge page and play with us, it would be really nice if we can thank Jan Clothier for all her years with us and to wish her farewell with a big turnout.
Don't forget that we are a challenge that encourages you to use your old stamp sets, those that we bought many years ago and are being a little bit neglected. If you know the year when you purchased those sets, we would love it if you tell us in your post, the stamps you use must be at least ONE YEAR OLD.
Thank you for visiting me today, your comments are greatly appreciated.
Please stay healthy and safe.
XO
Maria.

You always do the most beautiful things with your fairies. What a lovely gift this was from your aunt who knows you so well. Your stenciling in the background does create the illusion of depth and it looks like the sort of place a fairy would love to be!
Such a pretty garden visitor although she looks a bit thin !
Love your pretty colors and I always love seeing your Fairy stamps !
Oh-my-word! Jaw dropping stunning! This fairy in blonde is stunning! Did you paper piece the outfit? The background technique is perfect what a beautiful work of eat and the interior font is an excellent choice!
