Nearly forgot to do the Twofers challenge this time, the theme is Retro and nothing immediately sprang to mind but last night I picked up a creative stamping magazine which had a sheet of 1950's stamps with it and it gave me an idea for a card. Stamped the 50's housewife straight onto a piece of white card, stamped the star clusters from the same set and added some sparkles with glitter glue from the new Creative range from Once Upon A Stamp and it is really sparkly ! the banner and icecream sundae are Mollie Bloom stamps, again freebies, what a cheap skate I am LOL !
There is still time to enter this challenge and there is a prize to be won ! Although it is called Twofers you only need to enter one item, have a go !
Twofers Challenge - Retro
A magazine with a sheet of retro stamps? I must have missed that one, I'm kicking myself now. I love this card and that shade of pink is perfect for the 1950s, it's a colour that seemed to be everywhere in my childhood. Even my favourite little kiddy-sized chair was that colour! Thanks for your continued support in sharing your great work at Twofers

Where would any of us be without those cover stamps! I love your 1950's housewife those blues and pinks are perfect. Don't think it would be a Twofers challenge without an entry from you XOXO Zoe
ReplyDeleteI adore this card! I have to thank you for championing our little challenge - you have been there for us since the very beginning - thank you SO much for your entry and I hope you continue to enter each challenge ~ xoxo Christi
ReplyDeleteI see we had the same idea for Twofers, both of us using 1950s inspired housewives that are fabulous. But other than that our cards are quite different. You chose a beautiful soft color scheme. And isn't it a great feeling to use some of those freebies? I've used some too for these challenges, but not this time.
