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.

ReplyDeletePerfect! I also love this Vintage Vibe and the monochromatic flavor! I still have so many Flourishes sets--mostly illustrated by Marci of course! Love the wordy background and that die cut panel! Again, perfect!
ReplyDeleteoooooh, Barbara! I love the vintage colors, shading, and the way you've left a lighter color around the phone cord. Congrats on using your old stamp! LOL I thoroughly enjoy using my stash, and have actually culled it by 2/3 over the last 5 years! There are still virgins in my supplies crying out to be used. Wishing you a beautiful day!
