Hello blogland,
I've made another card and for no reason! No DT, no particular birthday / occasion / person. Just made to have fun colouring in the image and putting a card together.
And here it is:
Supplies used:
Digital Stamps:
Lili of the Valley - Funky Flares
coloured with my Copics
Sentiment also Lili of the Valley - Everything's Better
Rubber stamp:
Autumn Leaves - swirls v.2 by Rhonna Farrer
Dies:
unbranded DL (slimline) stitched rectangle
I Googled 1970's fashion to get an idea of what colour to do the trousers - I didn't fancy colouring another pair of jeans - and my goodness it was a colourful decade, wasn't it! No wonder it's called the decade that fashion forgot. Though I have to say the fashion of my decade - the 80's - could be just as bad!
I can also report that TTT did her last GCSEs today - Physics and Geography - that's it all done! Now we have to wait until the 24th August for results, then we see if she got good enough results to get into Sixth Form. Hopefully it'll be a 'shoo-in' - the lowest grade she's predicted is a 7 and the highest a 9. Fingers crossed, eh!
I took a picture or two of her on her last day - I may share later, but I'd have to ask her first if it's OK.
Other than that - whose still enjoying the good weather? I am!
Aaaand that's about it for now,
I'll pop off now and be back later,
Sarah

As You Like It Challenge: Favourite Non-Birthday Occasion (and why). I like to make cards with 'Open' sentiments if they aren't for a Birthday. So I suppose, 'Just because I was thinking of you' cards? Don't know how else to describe them!
Fabulous card, Sarah. Great image, beautifully coloured, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile when I read that you Googled the fashion of the 70s.... I remember it well! 🤣 Those trousers look like 'loons' to me ..... tight down to the knees and then they flared out. My favourite pair were bright blue.
I'm sure you're relieved that the GCSEs are over, I'm sure that TTT has done well. Everything crossed for her. xx

What a wonderful card and it looks like you got the colours just right!! I wasn't really of an age to be into the fashions of the decade. But what I do I remember of the 70's was denim skirts and cheesecloth blouses and nylon bed sheets at my grandmas...yuk!! Fingers crossed for some good results for TTT xx
