This was my quick card for a previous scramble at the Hero Arts flickr group. I was trying to go for a retro feel, but not sure I achieved it. I used colors that reminded me of the old school Tupperware. Remember those?
The stamping was done by first drawing a horizontal line across the card base with a pencil and ruler. Next, I inked up the snowflake stamp in Dried Marigold and stamped the snowflake where the top pointy end touches the line. Scrubbed stamp clean. Then inked it up in Shabby Shutters and stamped snowflake using the line and the previous stamped snowflake as a guide. Repeated this process until I had two rows of snowflakes. Erased pencil line once ink was completely dry.
TFL!

I get the Tupperware reference, the colors; I can see the fluting in the stamp design a la the container top. It doesn't say retro to me, but I like what you've created.
