Let's talk! Today I'm sharing a card I made this weekend using a fun stamp set from Hero Arts! I only had a few more days to get an entry into the February contest! I love entering their blog contests. There's a lot of competition and it's fun to join in the mix. You don't have to have a blog to enter – they do their contests on Flickr – which is free – so I really encourage you to enter! CLICK HERE for the details on the challenge for this month. This month's theme is Friendship or Hello cards.
I love this vintage stamp set – cool old phones and a neat font…Just begs for some retro colors and buttons and such. I like combining a bunch of 'stuff' on my shabby chic cards. Here I used a scrap of the patterned paper (Picadilly by Basic Grey) and a pearl pin to make a flag. One trick for putting light colored buttons onto dark cardstock is to put the button on a tiny piece of white paper. That way the color can come through.
Here are my supplies…The pretty red toile looking paper is the back side of the stripes…perfection! I found just the right shade of aqua blue Bazzil paper to match. These colors make me think of the 50's!
Let's talk! The stamp set is called "Just Saying Hi." I love the sayings in it.
So there you have it for today! Thank you, as always, for coming by to see me! I hope you have a great day! See you soon.

Love this card, Wanda. The similar layout with the old-fashioned typewriter you posted a few weeks ago was a BIG inspiration for me. I’ve made several similarly designed cards and absolutely love them.
Gorgeous, Wanda! I love the little pin…perfectly perfect! XOXO
