This is the only non English word stamp I own...
so, that made this challenge an easy decision that way. I had not played with this typewriter die yet so, it was sprayed with some old paper distress ink before the cut parts were scribbled with a black marker. its up on pop dots. why is it I never ever see ribbon is uneven before I shoot it? that is a mystery. it has been trimmed since this was shot. thanks for this challenge Sabrina, & tfl.

I almost don't recognize the typewriter anymore! And believe me I typed many college papers on one of these babies! Love the long card!

Think I learned to type on a machine that looked like this, Stacy! Love your die and love your color palette even more of the black/cream. Never even noticed that the ribbon wasn't perfect.

Stacy, really like those contrasting colors for your theme.....gives it the vintage feel. I had to smile about the crooked ribbon. Many times things show up on my card pics that I didn't notice. I guess the camera never lies..darn. tfs

Cute typewriter! Even with all the moves we've made, I still wish I'd kept at least one of my old-style typewriters, sigh. Love the vintage look with your neutrals, especially that gorgoeous background. And now I'm hearing that bit of music that has a typewriter or sounds like one.
