I thought I would go retro for the new challenge at
Our sponsor this time is
This is one of their images from the set called
Birthday Gnome.
Our theme this time is
Kids Birthday
I've gone back in time for my kid birthday card. I've coloured the image with polychromo pencils, using bright colours, the swirls and stars have been coloured with glitter/metallic pens,The image has then been die cut, and a background layer is die cut out of glitter card. I've cut and coloured, using glitter pens, a small tag the bottom left corner, with a with love greeting on. Then the real retro point is some corner peel offs to brighten up the corners.
I think card making trends have changed a lot since I started making cards now over 25 years ago.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges
Wordart Wednesday - ATG
Addicted to stamps and more - Make your Mark
Ally's Angels - ATG
Neglected Stuff - Old stash/ATG
Allsorts - For a child

Jan, this is such a sweet card! I love how colorful it is. The silver accents really make it extra special. Someone will love getting this. You're right, card making trends have changed so much, and while other card makers may say "that's an old technique" the people who receive our cards never think about that. As long as we're having fun that's what matters! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate you! :)
