Keep it simple


 Another two weeks flown by and it's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. this time the theme is "Keep it simple" We welcome all kinds projects, cards. journal pages, atc's , mixed media etc as long as the project follows the challenge theme.  For my simple card I lightly stencilled the background with an alphabet stencil and stamped the typewriter and birthday message with black versafine, just added a strip of washi tape to finish it off. The stamp is a new one by Woodware and I really like it, reminds me of my working days back in the 50's and 60's rattling away on an old manual typewriter(not quite as old a model as this one!)  never felt the same when the electric ones and then the word processors came in !  The design team have lots of lovely samples over on the challenge blog so I hope you will pay thm a visit.

    What a fabulous vintage card Joan. I think for a simple card this looks very complex. Thanks for sharing the light stenciling idea. Happy week ahead. hug-Erika

    I remember my Mum using one of these typewriters, in later life her fingers where very misshaped. I always thought it was due to having to hit those keys day in, day out. Thsnk goodness for todays keyboards. A fantastic card and a great background that is just right for this card too.
