On my list of cards I need to get in the mail was a masculine Congratulations card for a lover of vintage tunes (I love that I can be so specific in my creativity).
I combined colors from The Paper Players with this week's Freshly Made Sketch. The inspiration came from the Paper Smooches Retro Trend Watch ... and voila ... You Rock.
In keeping with the bold lines of the Retro Trend Watch design, I stamped the juke box & music notes from Perpetual Bliss (and just realized I managed to stamp one of the notes upside down ... oh well) together with the text from Sentiment Sampler in India Ink and clear embossed for a bit more pop.
I paper pieced parts of the juke box to pull in colors from The Paper Players combination.
