What I do have is a fun challenge! Today we are all about rub-ons. I love rub-ons, especially for a sentiment. I can apply them straighter than I can stamp them. So go ahead and get them out. Use images or sentiments, many or one, huge to tiny...it all counts. Show me what you have got!
Steph's, Hannah's & Michelle's sample are attached below.
Happy crafting people

Wonderful challenge, Toni! I must admit...I have some rub-ons, but I've NEVER used them! I'm off to work now, but I'll be back later to give this a try!
Likewise! I actually sold all of mine, but I have a little alternative cooking right now... the "redneck" now says... hey, y'all, watch this... {wish me luck!}

Bummer, I don't think I own a single rub-on....never had any luck with them...so I'll have to sit this one out, but I will enjoy seeing what everyone else comes up with.

Thought this would be a fun challenge...although it didn't turn out that way for me.....you can read about it in my description. Not a great way to start the day....but "so it goes" and as the current fad statement, "it is what it is".

If you don't have any rub-ons, you can make your own...
The transparency technique works great: all you need is a transparency sheet, a popsicle stick and an inkjet printer. (You can use the same transparency sheet over and over; just wipe with a damp cloth after each use.)
Type your sentiment in Word. When you're ready to print, click on "Properties" when your printer screen appears. Choose "Reverse" or "Mirror Image" in order to print your sentiment backwards.
Use the plain paper setting (not transparency). Choose "Best Quality" print setting. You need to print on the SHINY side of the transparency. Let the ink dry for about 5 - 10 minutes.
Then carefully place the transparency where you want your sentiment to appear and burnish it with the popsicle stick.
Thanks! I am not sure if I have the right kind of transparencies, but I may give it a try...

Well, that was a huge fail. I must not have the right kind of transparency....mine is shiny on both sides. Oh well, I think I'll try to make a card with it anyway...

Good for you for giving it a go, Korin - I had no idea that could be done, Melody!!
I find it hard to believe that in the middle of my stuff, I don't have any rub-on's or any transparencies, but I'll look forward to everyone's creations! : )
Melody,
That is what I LOVE about this site, so many creative ingenious minds working together for a common cause. LOL

Can I just say that this is one of the reasons I love SCS!!! I didn't have any alternatives to offer folks and here you come and help me out! Thanks Melody!

A for Effort! Be sure you post what you finally end up with, I'm really curious!
No rub-ons here, even after digging through drawers. I sold the few I had because I'm no good at getting them to transfer, even after my friend (JanCush on SCS) gave me a special tool by Basic Grey for applying rub-ons. I am a rub-on failure! I will enjoy seeing the creations by everyone else today : )

WOW... Perusing through the gallery made me want to re-think my discord for rub-on's... I'm not sure if I still have any, but maybe this weekend, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the challenge... it's especially fun when it IS a true challenge
Did this ATC with bright colors and this message: We do not remember days We remember moments. Added a fish and some rub on dots.
Here's Remembering Moments

Just came back from a nice vacation, so this sentiment worked well here. I wanted to use my new stamps from High Hopes- Ally Rose and Bobby Lee- and added lots of pink and blue. Here's Good Vacation

I have never really achieved proficiency with rub-ons, but I did give it an honest try this week. I'm not sure if the rub-ons were too old, or if my technique was faulty, but they didn't go on smoothly. I got a distressed look, which works well for this flourish, so I am reasonably happy with the card. Everything on it is a rub on, with the exception of the heat embossed sentiment.
