Retro Dynamic Duos More or Less...





Inspired by Arielle's gorgeous Retro Sketch together with Dynamic Duos Daffodil Delight & Basic Black with Dessert Option of Dry Embossing, and Less is More.  The star die-cuts are My Favourite Things, making it perfect for CAS-ual Fridays Punchy Challenge too ;)  The base cardstock is dry embossed using Craft Concepts Stary Night, and stamps are Verve Always on My Mind.  The button from my collection is hung from Divine Twine.  This gorgeous yellow polka-dot paper is from Doodlebug Design Sugar & Spice - perfect for baby and new parent cards.

Thought I would enter this into Gallery Idol 2012 "Encouragement Cards" 
You can join in too, just upload your card here at PaperCrafts Connection by May 28
Good Luck :)


These brightened my day too :)
