Sharing a card
I made for a friend’s 40th birthday featuring an image from the now
closed Saturated Canary called 70’s Vibe.
The layout for my
card comes from the sketch over at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. To keep with my 70’s
theme I went with a less typical shape to die cut the image, swapping the oval
in the sketch for a curvy square. I edged
the die cut in gold glitter embossing powder and went to town with the gold
glittery accents on the card as well. Used
a couple of different sparkle pens on her top to add a glittery 70’s feel to it
also.
I wanted to play
along at Incy Wincy Designs in their create your own background challenge but
decided it might be a bit too lairy to do the whole card base in a 70’s
inspired pattern. So, instead, I just did
up a piece for the rectangular element in the sketch. I used Tim Holtz Distress Markers to colour
through the mini version of his Rosette stencil. I then spritzed it, with the stencil still in
place, with some Resist Spray. Finished off
with a layer or Distress Ink for a lovely colourful pattern.
To finish off my
card I added in a sentiment using an Altenew die cut, which I double cut and layered,
and stamps from Mama Elephant and Birch Press Designs. As I have a few die cuts on my card I am also
entering it at The Paper Girls for their current challenge.
Love how this
card turned out and think it captures the style of the 70s really well. Just hope my fellow 70’s flowerchild friend
likes it too.
