Serendipity Stamps - 70's Theme



Hi all, today brings us a fun blog hop with the Serendipity Stamps Design Team! This week, we have been given the challenge of creating with a 70's theme!

I found this fun brighly coloured paper in my stash, it reminded me of the graphics used in 1970's childrens books, and I thought would be perfect with this fab S.S image of Button Mushrooms.


I coloured with Promarkers and layered onto some Stampin' Up! card under the fun patterned paper.


Inside I used some more papers and added some strips of red gingham.


I added a strip of red gingham to the outside, tied with some brown hemp - very 70's! Topped with a yellow button and a red rose.

Please check out the rest of the wonderful projects from the design team:

Those mushrooms really do remind me of the 70's, how neat that your patterned paper has mushrooms on it too! Your coloring is beautiful, the mushroom caps almost look like they have a glossy touch to them with that pretty coloring. Love that you finished the inside to match with that neat ribbon folded over on the two corners. Very pretty card Pauline.
