I am so pleased to be a guest designer for the color combo during the month of September. It is always an honor getting to design with such talented women who give me inspiration all year long.
Karen picked some awesome colors pool party, peek a boo peach, basic black and any green is dessert. I promised myself I wasn't buying any new colors until I used all the ones I've bought through the years. So the closest I could get was soft sky and blush blossom, with old olive and basic black.
I have been unmounting my stamps and these sets were out when I got the challenge colors. I thought it was time I used them too. Since they have never been touched with ink, like so many others in my collection or hoard, I realizing there is s fine line there!
This card is for an old typing teacher in need of cheering up. She just turned 98.
I bought these things laughing that is exactly the typewriter I learned on. Remembering the onion skin paper, bristled eraser and having to line the carriage back up when making a mistake. Lol. The days when making a copy was with a piece of carbon paper, back when we really left a carbon print. If you're old enough you'll also remember figuring out to center something depending on whether the type was pica or elite. Remember??? Lol
Card size is 5.5 by 8.5
Vintage stamp is Hampton Arts, top secret, inking of you and note paper are new clear dollar, typewriter I believe is stamp camp...every things else is from SU sets office ephemera and puns from the past, antique crackle and weathered wood
Background Paper is a piece I've walked over for years. I acquired it when I bought out someone's collection, it is pinkpaislee #00440 nature Santuary, generic pieces of cream, and peach to match. Also very vanilla by SU.

Speaking of cool bgs and wishing I lived near someone.....This is so fabulous! So many super fun details on it - all absolutely perfect for a typing teacher (they call them keyboard teachers now right?). I remember having one of those erasers - I usually erased holes in my paper with them and turned those papers in anyway due to the time it took to retype the paper. Kids today have no idea - it was worse than walking 3 miles, barefoot, in the snow!!! You know I love vintage anything so I am in love with this card and she is going to flip over it. A million hugz to you my friend.
