Just like buses ....

I hadn't shown a card for over a week and then ... two come along at once! Again, this one is very simple - nothing much involved except sticking!

This is another card made with some of the die cuts from a kit - irl you need your sunglasses on for these because, not only are the colours very bright, but are irridescent and very shiny. The background yellow card is pearlised.

I ddon't remember wearing any outfit quite like that in the 1970s but I do remember teetering around on platform shoes, despite saying that I'd never wear them when they first appeared on the fashion scene.

Boots and shoes are the theme for challenge 42 on Die cut dreams and also this week on Daring cardmakers the challenge is 'if the shoes fits'.

It's another one for Allsorts 46: 'no DPs'.

Challenge 2 for Meljen's designs is 'let's see some girly colours' - I think these are girly enough - well, they were in the 1970s. And Paper play 14 calls for 'shiny happy people' - this card is really shiny and the girl seems to be happy!

Crafty Ann
's 12 is 'let the sunshine in', so this seems to fit that - calls up images of lazy summer days.

There's nothing creative about this or the card shown below, but, hey ho, at least I've done something today.

PS: Lol! thanks to Joanne for pointing out that I had made a big typo and put 1070 insteadd of 1970 - glad it was only on here and not on the actual card!! (I've changed it now).

  3. This has a real "hippy" feel to it. The platform shoe looks just right with all the other 70's touches

  13. Wow. See what you mean about the sunglasses. It really does shriek 'Summer' so it's perfect for Crafty Ann's challenge. I also remember the funky gear - had me some bright orange loons at the time.
