Happy Thursday fellow stampers! It's time for another Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! It's a color challenge week and here they are.....
Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry and Basic Black.
For my card, I also used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #277.
My main panel was a little too big to put off center, so I chose to put it smack dab in the middle.
I just love this new set called {That Thing You Did}. It's got such neat fonts and sayings! I was immediately drawn to the You're So Vintage sentiment because it feels so 80's and that's the decade of my childhood and teen years. I love the nostalgia! Anyway, remember how it was popular in the 80's for logos to have that repeated, shadowed look? Well, that's what I was going for here. I like it!
I used the new Elegant Dots embossing folder, but after the fact I realized I should have used the Tiny Triangles one. I think it would have fit the 80's vibe better. There were lots and lots of triangles in the 80's.....remember the Guess Jeans logo anyone?
I did think of using the triangle theme in the DSP though!
I also used some of the new metallic sequin assortment.
I hope you enjoyed this trip back to the 80's and I hope you'll be able to play along with the challenge this week!
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Well aren't you the clever one?! I LOVE how you stamped the sentiment with the shadow look. I do remember that and as a matter of fact, it doesn't seem that long ago. Lol. Awesome 80's card, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! The first thing I thought of when I saw this was roller skates and a disco ball! Ha! Perfect tribute to the 80's!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool card! Great job creating the shadows on the sentiment, and great combination of papers and texture! Really fun!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this could be a trip to the 70's...reminds me of that anyway! Either way, 70's or 80's, this is a fun card! Love how you created the shadows behind the greeting by stamping it several times. Fun card!
