It's a good thing that the IC challenge is about INSPIRATION and NOT Replication! Because although I looked through absolutely ALL the fabric samples I kept going back to this Retro Geometric Optic Art Piece
Since my chalks & cotton balls were still on the desk from yesterday's card I decided to go back to a random retiform design. Now my mind said rectangles but my hand and eye seemed intent on triangles so this took on it's own life. I stamped my Sassy Senior (a retro kind of gal) once on my background and on a piece of scrap stock. Colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. Fussy cut and edged with a black sharpie. Finished with my simple sentiment.
This will go to a friend turning 60 who is a bottle strawberry blonde (tried to capture that in my image). Inside says Lying about our age is WAY easier now that we actually have trouble remembering what the heck it is.

That is such a creative background with your triangles. What a fun sentiment, too. Your friend will love you made her hair in the correct color. Fun card!!!

Fabulous! I love it when inspiration takes us where we didn't know we wanted to go! Your background is gorgeous! We visited the High Museum of Art today and interestingly there was a title on the wall of a collection in lines just like your inspiration! Your retro sassy lady is hilarious and so is your inside sentiment! Such a fun card!

So darn fun, Linda. Great bg, great image and totally fun and stellar coloring. Your friend is going to really love this (I love how you did the hair to match up with your friend too). Super card. Hugz
