Retro Crazy


My Brother in Law recently had a birthday, and he is particularly into things that are 'retro', so I set about creating a card that fitted the part.
The D is because his name begins with a 'D' and I created it using my Cricut machine and cutting 5 letters out and gluing together to make a chipboard look, I decorated with parts of various stamps and stickles. I mounted this onto a shadow D in black.
The word retro I cut small squares and stamped the letters again mounting on shadow black, these were mounted onto strong vellum which over-lapped the card that I had stuck with handmade black & white square retro look paper.
A few star embellishments and some white funky fibre to finish it off.
