The Retro Rubber Challenge is celebrating its 100th Challenge with a little Tic-Tac-Toe inspiration.
I pulled out two old favorites from A Muse Rubber Stamps (dating back to at least 2006 when I first have record of using the Happy Birthday Sentiment and was taking pictures on my lovely shag carpet … gotta love those vintage pictures too).
I used the vertical elements on the right side – Metallics (Copper Glitter Cardstock & Copper pen on the candle flames); Die Cut or Punch (I went old school with two vintage punches for my circle & scalloped circle); and Cake (because … birthday).
The layout is this week's Freshly Made Sketch. The stripes are a recycled paper bag that came with one of my recent stamp orders (The Ink Road I believe).



I’ve got a scallop and circle punch like these and I’d forgotten all about them! I love that diagonal sentiment, snugged in between the lines – a real touch of zing! Thank you for playing along with our 100th celebration and for playing my tic-tac-toe.
Love the addition of the copper to the classic black, white and red scheme, looks great Steph!
What a fun use of the elements of our challenge and the sketch. Nice bright contrasts! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber for 100th Celebration Challenge.
This is awesome, great challenge combo, love the CAS feel and the recycling of the bag. Thanks for joining in the Retro Rubber 100th Celebration. Claire DT
Very clever, cute sketch (love that one) and I love how you put all your elements together! A real eye-catcher! Thanks for playing with our 100th challenge!!
