Seize the Birthday

There's a retro theme happening at the current Seize the Birthday challenge. A typewriter is certainly a retro item for me! I recall getting a manual typewriter for Christmas as a young girl and I was so thrilled with that gift! It gave me the skills to type faster than anyone in my high school typing class - haha!  Guess I'm really dating myself! This card also uses the sketch at the Sunday Stamps challenge.

I love this stamp/die set from Sugar Pea Designs! I have a granddaughter with some mad writing skills and she enjoys creating "books" in her spare time. She has a birthday coming up next month and I'm thinking this will be her card.  I already had the hot foiled background (white matte foil on Soft Stone paper from Papertrey Ink - hot foil plate also from PTI) in my leftover pile. 

 

STAMPS: Just My Type (Sugar Pea Designs).
INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.
PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Lovely Lady, True Black, Soft Stone  (Papertrey Ink). 
DIES: Stitched Rectangle, Stitched Circle, Stitched Square STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things); Tag Sale: Quilted (PTI); Just My Type (Sugar Pea Designs).
OTHER: Hearts hot foil plate (PTI). 
 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  ~Wanda
