My card is for the Inspiration Challenge from the Charm Lady Boutique website. Also, it is for a certain brother-in-law's birthday. These Inspiration Challenges do stretch my creativity. Also, I do struggle with making a card for my BIL who doesn't appreciate stamping. He will probably laugh at this retro card, but at least we sent him something to acknowledge his birthday. The minute I saw the charm mentioned below, I thought of On The Spot background stamp. I tried to use the colors on the charm. Since my BIL has a December birthday, he remarks that he only gets cards reminiscent of Christmas colors. This time he won't! TFL and for your comments.
The charm that inspired me is called Dark Disco Ball and hopefully this is a direct link: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?n...duct_id=295920

It's a masculine card and those are always more difficult I think. I like the way you did the corners and the knotted ribbon is a good idea too. Great card!!
