Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley has chosen wheels as the theme.
The design team and our guest Lynda have lots of inspiration for you, so I hope you can join us in the gallery.
If wheels aren't your thing then there is also the anything goes birthday option, a great chance to build up your birthday stash!
I love this kombi stamp and have used it in the past with a peace sign brad!
I vaguely remember kombis also having a smiley cover on the spare tyre. It was coloured with oxide ink, layered onto a black circle then inked with versamark and clear embossed to add lots of shine.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Retro Rubber, anything goes, the date on the retro cars set is 2010!
Supplies:
Kanban retro cars stamp; Hero Arts unicorn ink; Memory Box groovy symbols die; distress oxide ink; versamark ink & clear embossing powder; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,

Fabulous retro card and what a fun smiley logo on the front Cathy x.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Cathy and I absolutely adore the added smiley face... just lifts the whole card making it so uplifting, I love it x
ReplyDeleteThis combi looks great in white against that pretty blue background Cathy and the smily face as a badge looks great and with some added shine too. x
ReplyDeleteLove how the happy face pops against the rest of the colour scheme! And I have to say... totally groovy card. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect male card Cathy! I love the textured background (card stock or paper? I couldn't decide!) and white embossing with the pop of colour the smiley face provides. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteA fun, retro card and you have to smile anytime you see a smiley face.
