Shades of Brown // #C4G332

This card was also inspired by...

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb216 ...A tic-tac-toe challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this game board: masculine, leaves, and die.  For this challenge we are to use stamps that are over a year old...my sentiment is from Stampin Up's A Big Thank You set that came out in 2020.  All the elements from this card are a bit retro...the die is over a year old, those wooden leaves are over 9 years old, and that hemp is from TJMaxx that I picked up after Christmas about 5 years ago!!  That spool of hemp was huge and it seems like it is gonna last for ever!!

The Paper Players // #PP660 ...A theme challenge!!  LOST IN SPACE is the theme for this current challenge!!  A collection of moon and stars lost in the night time sky...perfect!!
