Cards in Envy - A Little Bit Retro

Good Morning Everyone!  It's time to get a Little Bit Retro for the latest Challenge over at Cards in Envy.

Here's my card, using a wonderful vintage lady stamp from the Just my Style set by Darkroom Door and papers and sentiment from the For the Record Collection by Echo Park and my Water Color Pencils.



Retro is classed as "old fashioned style'.  Generally anything from the 50's through to now the 90's is considered retro. For more ideas of retro be sure to visit the Cards in Envy Blog and see the other inspiration provided by my fellow Design Team Members.

And for those of you wishing to play along just a reminder that our challenge is designed for cards that you would easily fit in an envelope to mail, so they should be A2 in size and shape, and flat with minimal embellishments.

I'm looking forward to seeing the wonderful entries this fortnight for this fun theme.

You've captured retro perfectly with this great card! The image reminds me of my mother when she was younger - she dressed much like the woman shown on your card! Nice coloring and design!
