The Play Date Cafe Challenge # 13

Thanks so much to the ladies at The Play Date Cafe for their color challenge. Chanced upon their site last night and the color combo  immediately caught my eye. As did the typewriter. Dare I say I think I once owned this exact same model? It would appear I’m retro - and here I was thinking I was just plain old. Retro sounds so much cooler!

I went for a card. The DP is from a paper pack by s.e.i. (Winter Song) - gorgeous, gorgeous paper - and the blue is Bermuda Bay from Stampin’ Up. Sassy, Wild, You from an acrylic stamp set, Kolette Hall Circle Sentiments, and the corset, a rubber stamp from All Night Media - does anyone really have a waistline like that? And a little bit of bling from my stash - strategically placed for modesty’s sake.

I like the card though wish I had used my Cuttlebug to emboss the Bermuda Bay and give the card more texture. Next time. Still, it’s a card I wouldn’t mind receiving myself - with something rather saucy written inside - like “Meet me at Tim’s for coffee.”  lol  That’s about as saucy as I get at my age. One thought leads to another, however, and I think this is a cool card for a guy to give a gal. My sister is already busy making things for the fall fair. How about a ‘6-pack for men’? Six cards they can give wife/girlfriend/Mom throughout the year. Think that’s a good idea? Help me out here ladies! A little input most welcome - feel free to leave a comment.

Anyway, thanks for visitng and a special thanks to Julie, Julie, Sarah and Sandra for the inspiration. Hope you’ll invite me back!

Cheers!
