Retro Birthday

 


Hi everyone, I used to love spirograph when I was a kid!
This die reminds me of all the fun I used to have. 

I used an oxide blend that Kristina Werner demonstrated on her blog. Seedless preserves, salvaged patina and squeezed lemonade, just love this combination. She has loads of other blending combos too, thanks Kristina!

The sentiment die was inked with versamark and clear embossed for some shine. The stars are diecut from black glitter paper, I thought it needed them lol!

I'm linking up to these challenges:
Addicted to Stamps & More, I've used oxide inks to make my mark.



This is a new to me die, so I'm also visiting Darnell's NBUS Challenge


Supplies:
Dies: Birch Press Design string art frame; Creative Expressions stacked happy birthday die; Stars from Find it Trading congratulations set.
Oxide inks; versamark ink and clear ep; black glitter card.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

    I love that color blend too. The string die is awesome and looks so good on the background. I still have the spirograph that I bought for the grandkids. I loved playing with it too.

    This is a real 'wow' card Cathy with that splendid tri-tone blended background, and the wonderful white die cut cover plate die you have used over the top with that circle just right for the sentiment. x

    I love the spirograph look and memories this evokes, Cathy! It also reminds me of the string designs I would make with another friend with our hands, standing face-to-face. You know, where you take turns reaching in and pulling the strings to make patterns? Your blended background is beautiful and your glossified sediment stands up to the other elements brilliantly! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
