You're Retro!

Today's card features one of the stamps from the 'You're Retro!' set by Penny Black. I stamped it onto watercolour paper, along with one of the sentiments from the set, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I added a snippet of stripey paper from the 'Charming' pad by Recollections/Michaels (found at TKMaxx) for a simple background. It was only a couple of centimetres wide, so I cut it in half, distressed the edges, added it to a kraft card blank, then placed the image over the top.

    Smashing looking card and I love the distressed edges. I'm with Brenda and don't recognise that PB image! It's great though.

    Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a mug of hot chocolate shortly. xxx

    Oh, that's so fun! I don't usually like snarky sentiments, but this one hits the spot without being mean. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
