I made this for the release party last week over at Stamp TV and can I say
Nina has done it again? She is so very creative in her illustrations and
Vintage Backgrounds is the perfect compliment to one's stamp collection. I used two different backgrounds from the set for this card: the polka dot
(which is so way cool) and the word background
(which just happens to be Scripture verses). Do you see how the label from
Lovely Labels matches the polka dot background? Eeks, I love being "matchy~matchy," as
Linda calls it, lol!
I am a child of the 80's...and one day all of that is coming back! The sentiment is from the new Free with Three stamp set
Masculine Messages. I stamped the
Turquoise Sea cardstock flower pieces with the backgrounds as well and kept the colors to
Kraft,
Turquoise Sea and
Black Oynx. Now I know this is a little bright and out of my normal color scheme...but it's growing on me!
It has been a busy few days in my household and stamping time is hard to come by. I do have some things I have been working on, but can't share quite yet :o) However... I have a fun announcement coming soon...I am so excited and can't wait to share!!! But mum is the word for now :o)

My dad turned 62 on Sunday and due to my crazy week this didn't go postal until Monday. I just realized I used 5 different stamp sets on this card: Vintage Backgrounds, Masculine Messages, Inside and Out, Lovely Labels (just a fav!), and Timeless Treasures. The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye which I purchased back in July and finally got the nerve to cut it...so difficult to do. It just makes me sad to cut into a 12x12 piece, silly I know. Anyone know if My Mind's Eye makes 8x8 or 6x6 paper packs? Wouldn't that be cool!!!!
