I made this card with a specific friend in mind. We both love 80s music and grew up with cassette tapes and walkmans, so I know she'll get a kick out of this. Her favorite color is purple so that made it easy to select a color scheme.
I die cut the purple watercolor wash paper with a stitched border all the way around to fit the front of an A2 sized card. I stamped the musical notes border directly onto the background paper in a similar color for a tone on tone look. I stamped the sentiment in a darker shade. I stamped the hedgehog and cassette tape, colored with alcohol markers, and then fussy cut both.

Truer words were never written. This week, I have been singimg along with songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's on the radio. The cassette tape is a cool idea and the cute hedgie, so awesome, holding a cell phone.
