Retro Sketches #114


Wow...where did the week go? It seemed to just zoom by, I subbed all week and I am so happy it is Saturday, don't get me wrong I love my job but this week was just crazy and I had no time to play in my craft room. I spent the evening hanging out in my craft room finishing up my card for this week's Retro Sketch challenge #114 (I am still in the clouds that I am their headliner this month). I am using this week's colors from Colourq #240. I hope you are able to find time to play along this week. Thank you so much for stopping by and wishing all you moms a very Happy Mother's Day!

  1. Love the brightness of this card, Kim. It's been 4ever since I used this embossing folder. I liked it so much, I didn't ever want to cover it up with anything, but you have just the right amount covered. I think I'm gonna go retro myself soon. Happy Mother's Day.

  3. What an absolutely gorgeous card you made. I just love it so much. Those colors are just scrumptious together, and I really love how you made the Strawberry Slush color the main one on your card. Brilliant take on the sketch, Ms. Headliner--very sweet florals and I just love that embossed background. I always forget about that folder, which is crazy because I love it and it was one of my very first purchases back in the day.
