I'm so excited because I'm on a team for The Greeting Farm's TGF Royal Battle! Our team, The Soul Sistahs, is made up of me & my SOTC sistahs Judy, Tanja, and Lorie, whose gorgeous card we entered for the Week 1 Retro Challenge! Be sure to stop over and vote for your *favorite three* - but good luck, because they are all amazing!
This challenge is kinda like TGF's version of Survivor, without all the evil scheming. ha-ha! There are 63 teams (wow!) and the top half with the most votes will move on to play in Week 2, then Week 3, etc. until there's only one team standing. The winning team members take home the amazing new WS Roll Call set, a release date for which isn't even known! Cool!
Inspired by this week's challenge, I created this card featuring the 50's Sweethearts digi from TGF. My colors stray some from the challenge inspiration piece (and the lighting today is terrible) and are more vintage than retro, but I just couldn't resist using K&Co.'s Bailey papers because they remind me so much of the vintage patterns from that era. I definitely was born several decades too late!
Here's a close-up of Anya's bow that I layered and finished with, what else, a pearl. That's a no-brainer if you know me!You can also see some of the pretty ribbon I found at The Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. I *did* go back for more, but it was all gone, so I kicked myself all the way out the door.
And this cute little heart button was a sweet surprise gift from Carolyn that arrived just in time to feature as the perfect flower center for this card! I think this will be a sweet engagement card, or anniversary card if I can ever remember people's wedding anniversaries. *sigh*WHOOOOOSH! That's the sound of March zooming by and Easter rushing to greet us, which means we're that much closer to the warmth and sunshine of summer! But let's not wish away spring and all its glories, like tulips and dogwood blossoms and bright blue skies!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a stamptacular day!
