You're Vintage! CCMC364 & SSSC277


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!

  4. I 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!
