Seize the Birthday Challenge #290 - Retro

Hey! Crafty friends, it is time to create and there is a new challenge at Seize the Birthday hosted by Jules. She has suggested that we do a Retro project. You can make it vintage or retro color scheme or just old things. That is what I went with for this challenge. 

If you are not a toppings crafter, just make sure it is a birthday theme. But if you do, you have a chance to be a guest designer with us. 

Here is the card that I completed 

I really went to a very old and never used before stamp set from Flourishes! A company that is long gone! I was so glad that I still had this stamp set, but I had never used it before. It was called, Call Me!

I made it retro with my colors only using grays in ink and cardstock. After stamping the phone, I colored it with my Copic markers using only C7, C5, C3. 

Pumice Stone Distressed ink for the scrip in the background.

A few old things from my sash like twine and a brad. The sentiment is from GKD Wild Blossoms.

STB #289 - Cute Critters

JoAnn is the hostess for this next challenge, and she has chosen Cute Critters for the topping. Of Course, If you are not into toppings, just make sure it is a birthday theme. We all need those birthday cards. 

Here is the card that I did for this challenge.

Supplies: Penny Black Bear-y Wishes stamp. The balloons are Pink Fresh washi tape which has been die cut. I popped out some of them for dimension. I used an EF from Sizzix and sponged it with

 blue ink.  Gina K designs Master layouts 1

The sentiment is from the same stamp set. 

Here is a better look at how I gave some dimension to some of the balloons.
