Retro Mixy Matchy

I love the Retro Sketch this week and couldn't wait to make a card with it! I wanted to step a little bit out of my comfort zone and picked some bold patterns, inspired by Moxie Fab World Mixy Matchy Style challenge. I picked two old favourites, BG pb and j/Picadilly and the HA Antique Butterflies for the A Blog Named Hero Fave Stamp challenge.

Ingredients:
Cardstock - Neenah Solar White
Paper - Basic Grey pb n j and Piccadilly
Stamp - Hero Arts CL661, Antique Flowers and Butterflies
Ink - Ranger Archival Jet Black
Dies - MFT DieNamics Layered Labels, HA Antique Flowers and Butterflies
Others - White gel pen, enamel dots from My Mind's Eyes

Retro Christmas Scramble

I made a card for the Hero Arts Flickr Group 90 minute scramble this morning. The challenge was to make a card with non traditional colours. I based my card on the current Retro Sketch #35 and used Basic Grey's papers. I decided to use blues/greens and a slight hint of red. I used the MFT Dienamics Fishtail STAX die for the banner. This was won for submitting a card drive for Maddy by Jana Millen (I received the prizes two days ago). Thanks Jana! I made the card in under 60 minutes, a personal best! I'm also submitting this card to the Basic Grey - Anything Goes challenge and CAS-ual Fridays' Kraft On Challenge. Thanks for dropping by!
