It's time for another challenge over at Just Us Girls - with my second card as the Guest Designer for Sept!
I'm so excited to be playing along with the talented JUGS Design Team!
Here's the newest challenge:
And here is the card I created.
I'm thinking this DP from Retro Vibes by Whimsy Stamps is pretty bold?! As well as the silhouettes of the disco dancers?! from Retro Dancers Die set - also from Whimsy Stamps.
The sentiment is from Simple Strips: Birthday die cut with the Simple Strips Straight Edge die both from Taylored Expressions. The birthday sentiment stamp has 13 sentiments on it, that all get cut at the same time using the die!
There were a couple of 'snarky' sentiments I thought about using from the set on my card - "Sorry to Hear You're Getting Old" and "Another Year Closer to Velcro Shoes" that would work for someone like me who is old enough to remember the Disco Years (!) but I played nice instead - inside I used the sentiment from the set "Eat Cake and Celebrate".
I added 3 little gems that sparkle like a disco ball in the light!!
