Hello, everyone! Just a quick post today as we're heading out shortly to do some errands. The sun is shining and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!
My card today was inspired by a few challenges (see below), and one challenge is ending in a few hours so I have to hurry! Cut it Up #247 is looking for Women's History so I chose my favourite time in history, which is the 1950-60s, and this gal is perfect! I would love to go back and live in the '60s! I was born in the '60s! How about you... what's your favourite time in history?
This stamp is Penny Black Sweet Snow and it's a bigger stamp that nearly covers an A2 card front. First I heat-embossed it in silver on a red panel and then die-cut with a stitched rectangle (Simon Says Stamp). I stamped again, just the woman, on white cardstock, coloured her with markers, fussy-cut, and adhered to the red panel, which I then layered onto a turquoise panel. I added Star Dust Stickles on the woman's hat, pompoms, and cuffs. Lastly I adhered a couple die-cut white snowflakes (Hero Arts Snowflake Confetti) and a punched snowflake. In hindsight, I think I should have heat-embossed the red panel in white, so that's what I'll do next time.
I was also inspired by the following challenges:

Charming girl and I love red and blue together! Just the right amount of sparkle on your winter card. Thank you for joining the challenge at Allsorts this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat retro winter card...I also like the red & blue color combo...
ReplyDeleteI like the different snowflakes that you added and glad that our snow days are over in Massachusetts (lol).
Hi dear Kitty!! I was born in the '60s too! :) And I think those were fabulous years, in Italy there was a lot of freedom and life was easy... I don't know how was in Canada. , Oh yes, I agree with you, I would love to go back and live in the '60s! :D
ReplyDeleteYour card is delightful, that girl looks adorable with her stylish dress and the sparkling hat with pompoms!! Great contrast with the red background! The embossing looks great in silver, I think it's perfect for a retro feel!
Hugs and love!!
Super card. This is a perfect image for that era. Your Christmas card stash is building up!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant and classy image and card sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteSuper image beautifully coloured and great design, I also liked the 50's my teen years roller skating, ice skating, dancing in the park pavilion to the jukebox. Plaid reversable skirts, kitten sweater sets and saddle shoe. Watching Bobby Hull play Junior C hockey on a Friday night.

This is a fabulous card!! I really love the 80s cause I grew up in the 80s, but I have a soft spot for 50s and 60s womens fashion. This reminds me of a Barbie doll and Barbie is my heart. Love it.
