Groovy 2
Hi crafters. I decided to try and do another retro card like the last but only one layer to fit the optional challenge at Time Out challenges #129.
I used Creative Expressions Ripples stencil with spiced marmalade Distress ink. I wanted to use a round sans serif font for a sixties look but I didn’t have anything like that in a stamp. I decided to make a stencil by die cutting the Sizzix scripted letter dies from scrap card. I used a small brush to apply Black soot distress ink through it. I rounded the corners of the panel and then drew lines inside the edge with a ruler and a Pitt pen. I made a template with a rounded rectangle die and used that to trace a rounded rectangle around the sentiment. I coloured the edge and sentiment rectangles with a sharpie and Pitt pen.
I am entering this card in:
Time out challenge #129: retro, optional one layer.

This is so cool and is the sort of fabric pattern I would love!! Definitely 100% retro and love the sentiment, goes with it perfectly. Such a cool, modern-retro design, I’m so glad you shared it with us at TIME OUT!

Perfectly retro! Love the fun pattern you used and the black sentiment really pops from the orange. Great card! Thanks for joining us at TIME OUT!
