Retro Chic

I had a lot of fun with this one! :) I LOVE Gina K's Many Happy Re-turns set! The classic images are so 'in' right now! It was designed by artist Rupa Shevde... which makes it an even GREATER set in my book. When I met Gina at CHA last summer, she told me a little about Rupa. Rupa loves the Lord and uses the talents that she was given to help others. (She gives most of her earnings from the sets she designs to charitable organizations such as Food for the Hungry.)

How many of us use our talents to gain esteem or personal recognition? Rupa's life and attitude are truly aspiring. :)

So... here is the first card that I've made with my new set:

I wanted to use this fun green shade because it reminded me of the color of old appliances from the 50's. :) The main image is embossed in white and cut out with a Spellbinder's die. The little bottlecap letters reminded me of the old type font... so I HAD to use those too. :) Finally, I punched some holes on the side panel and snipped them just a bit to look like that fun binding punch from Stampin' Up! that I've never forked out the $$$ for.

Thanks for visiting!!! :)
