This Large Fabric Background was a reject from my card last night (the Pumice Ink was too green for what I wanted). I decided it would make a great masculine background, so I created a birthday card for one of my co-workers. I used a thin piece of double sided tape at the top & bottom of my paper to create some dimension.
We have the last typewriter in the company in our area at the office because my co-worker likes the neatness of typed labels for our folders. It is a constant source of joking and banter (particularly since we're moving to a paperless environment), which we all enjoy, so I thought this image and sentiment were perfect. I appreciate how he makes me laugh at least once every day.
The sketch is this week's Unscripted Sketch (rotated 90 degrees) - hopefully my Pumice background is *green* enough for the piggyback challenge - & stamps are from Hero Arts My Type.
Fun card, Stef. Couldn't agree moe with your sentiment. Have a great week!

I am in LOVE with that adorable typewriter and what a cute reason to use it on your card. Great use of the Unscripted sketch, as usual!

Love how you've made the sentiment look like it's coming out of the typewriter!
