Go retro with the sketch and stamp

Hello,

Today’s card was inspired by the new challenge at PS Sparks Challenge. Hope you are not tired yet of my cards that I make for Paper Smooches challenges.

This week it is a color challenge. I chose Knick Knacks stamp set birthday sentiment from Party Posse set. When I looked through the scraps of the papers I had, I found a piece from Basic Grey Collection. And then an idea came into my head. It is kind fits to the xylophone from the Knick Knacks set and it has all the colors from the challenge color palette.

I kept the design of the cards pretty simple (is it too simple?). The layout is so close to the sketch from Retro sketches blog. I find a lot of inspiration there from so many talented crafters.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your wonderful comments! They are like rainbows in my crafting world!

Wishing you all fantastic day,

Elena

  4. This is so fun. What a happy card this is. You did a great job matching the colors in the challenge with your patterned paper and the coloring of the Xylophone is spot on. I don’t think it’s too simple at all. Love it.
