Eat Chocolate in Rose Red and Baja Blue

Here is the card I made for my March swaps.  The girls will get them soon.  Sorry they are so late!  I was sick 2 weeks ago, and then I went on a Spring Break vaca - so I'm very behind!  The card looks a little different in person.  In person, it is a muted rose pink and muted blue.  I know the photo looks very reddish - but it isn't.  This cosmo glitter is so pretty in person, too!!!  I hope the girls enjoy their cards.

This is a case from Margaret Raburn.  I saw her candy cover on Fun Stampin with Margaret (the name of her blog) and I loved it and just had to make one - only I turned mine into a card instead of a candy wrapper.  I also added some dark brown, and glitter to the button.

Supplies:  Eat Chocolate and Bliss (background) Stamp Set (Stampin Up), Early Espresso, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Rose Red and Early Espresso Ink, Rose Red Cosmo Glitter (SU), Baja Blue Ribbon (SU), linen thread, Embosslits Sweet Buttons, Decorative Label Punch, Glue Dot, Crystal Effects (to adhere glitter), adhesive

Pedaling Past with Retro Background

I designed the above card (top), and my inspiration was this vintage poster.  I like the colors on the poster better, but I didn't have the exact match in my paper stash.
I used the Stampin Up Pedaling Past stamp set.  I stamped on vanilla cardstock, using black ink.  I framed in black paper.  I used the corner punch on 2 of the corners.  I colored the bike with the Tangerine Tango and Black Marker.
For the background paper I used the 1" Circle Punch on Tangerine Tango and Baja Breeze Paper.  I cut each circle in half.  I scored the ivory card so there would be 15 squares.  I placed each circle in a square to resemble the vintage tile.  I used dimensionals to adhere the bike image in the center of the card.
I hope you enjoy my vintage creation.  If so, please leave me a comment!
