ColourQ #126

The inspiration...

Before I show you the entire card, I want to explain this one a bit.

The inspiration screamed 1970's

I turned 4 in 1970 and I have vivid memories of orange shag carpet, beads hanging in doorways, avocado green accessories... these are the colors of the 70's

I went out of my normal comfort zone and selected prints that might not really work together but they sure do invoke that 1970's vibe.

The flower pattern is for the big bold flowers that were printed on everything!

The polka dots are for a dress I had in 1st grade -exactly the same pattern as the paper.

The green pattern looked so much like beads hanging from a doorway I just had to use them.

I secretly swore, as a little girl, that I would have beads hanging in every doorway when I grew up.

No beads here, but I do love to make a card that takes me back to that same feeling.

I had to finish the inside with my "beads"

Thanks for looking and be sure and check out ColourQ Challenges. They are so much fun!

Freshly Made Sketches #23

I made this card on Friday and forgot to post.

I posted it today and forgot to link it back to Freshly Made Sketches.

I am on overload. 

I got a new stamp, so I wanted a new challenge.. LOL!

I will be making a number of cards with You're My Type.

This is a great sketch and I know I will use it again.
