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!

On My Mind ~ Fusion, JAI267, CTC35

Hey everyone!  I hope your having a great Saturday so far!  I have a fun card to share today...I just love this new set from the 2015-16 Catalog called {That Thing You Did}!  I especially love this saying...it just makes me laugh!  I actually made this card for my good friend who recently lost her dad and I wanted to do something to lighten her mood.  I think this did the trick!  I think you can't help but laugh at this saying!  

I combined a couple different challenges with this card.....

For the Fusion Challenge, I incorporated the inspiration photo colors and the turquoise butterfly, plus the sketch. 

 For Casing the Catty, this weeks challenge is to use the Thank You section of the new catalog as inspiration...I used the the card in the upper right-hand corner on page 13 as my inspiration.

  

Lastly, Just Add Ink calls us to just add typography.  I'd say this saying qualifies!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
