Trigger Tuesday Retro Colour Throwdown...



Loved the colours and repetition of design elements in this weeks Man-tastic Trigger Tuesday, and with all those leaf shapes I had to make a heard you're leafing "we'll miss you" card of course!  Loved the vertical design element from this fabulously versatile Retro Sketch too!

Thought it appropriate having a "miss you" card based on negative space, so I created the leaf circles using a Heidi Swapp leaf mask and Tim Holtz Distress Inks Frayed Burlap, Fired Brick and Broken China - as close as I could get to this weeks gorgeous Colour Throwdown Challenge colours.  Sentiment is stamped using the same combination of inks and The Alley Way Jibber Jabber - just had to slightly alter the "well" to "we'll" with a well placed apostrophe (or was that we'll placed!)  Added some leafy texture with Craft Concepts Christmas Vine embossed background, and pop-dotted the leaf circles.

Many thanks for stopping by!  If you didn't I'd miss you ;)


This made me smile :)

  5. SOOO clever! Love it as a take on the trigger and also for the retrosketch - unexpected to use a line of circles. Still trying to think of something for that one....
