Retro Birthday Cards

 Helteistä viikonloppua ja toivottavasti paikalle osunut sade ei hakkaa ja riko paikkoja, vettä kyllä tarvitaan. Erityisesti toivon kuivaa päivää tänään, ainakin klo 14 asti - olen nimittäin Vanhan Vääksyn kesänavajaisissa (siinä Lauran kaupan kohdilla).
Sitten korttikuorma muuttaakin Auttoisille ja ateljee on avoinna sopimuksen mukaan ja korttiauto kulkee Päijät-Hämeessä menojen mukaan. Ja tilauksia voi tehdä muuallekin, kyllä se Posti on kaikki perille kuljettanut! Juhannuksen jälkeen olen jonkin aikaa sairaslomalla.

Aivan mahtava synttäriviikko Allsorts haasteessa, kiitos kaikille osallistujille ja onnea voittajille.
Tämän viikon haasteessa mennään ajassa taaksepäin " vintage, retroa" tai kaikki käy. Tervetuloa mukaan!
Tein kaksi retrohenkistä synttärikorttia naisille eri väreissä.

Thank you for celebrating Allsorts Challenge 15th Birthday last week! DT Ellie starts new theme - which is from the past "retro, vintage..." - or just Anything goes! Welcome to join in.
I made two DT samples with retro woman stamp (Flonz) in different colours!

Stamped image is coloured with Promarkers and trimmed off, background in the first card is coloured with Distress Ink blues and little swirl stamping; in the second background is embossed.
Die cuts: Sizzix; Gummiapan. Sentiment stamp "Congrats" Versafine Black Ink.


Please head over to Allsorts Challenge for all the details and prizes of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.
