Yeah, baby! It's time for a little trip to the 60's in the form of a bold, retro card. Dare I use the word "mod?" I swooped this groovy layout from fellow demonstrator and friend Nancy Riley. Here's her splashy True Friend card.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:-
It's so simple to make these retro rings. Punch the small circle first. Then crop (off center) around the area the small circle was removed from with a larger circle punch.
- Two swinging new catty colors "make the scene." Early Espresso and Pear Pizzazz will be available July 1. Early Espresso is a modern, bittersweet chocolate. Pear Pizzazz is a fresh, warm green, softer and lighter than Old Olive. I'm officially "over" the loss of Kiwi Kiss (retired many moons ago).
- Digging the Designer Paper? It's another sneak peek from the new catalog called Greenhouse Gala. Colors among the mix of beautiful patterns include Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip (yes, I cheated with Early Espresso here--so far no lightning strike), Real Red and Baja Breeze.
- Perfect Punches stamp set may be the "it" sentiment set from the new 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. The six stamps coordinate with six Stampin' Up! punches. Quick and polished looks every time.
- For a subtle accent, I scored the Pumpkin Pie horizontal layer with a double line. Very "groovy!" Couldn't resist the pun :)
