Retro-sketch #13

Happy Monday morning!  I usually drag my feet on Mondays, but today I woke up with a spring in my step.  I'm having coffee with a friend, and then bringing my son for a visit of his soon-to-be new school.  How do they grow up so fast?  eeek!

Before I'm off, I thought I'd share a card I made using this fantastic sketch from the retro sketches blog:

Honestly, I think the retro sketch blog is my new favorite challenge of the week - it's so fun to see what everyone creates with the same, specific sketch!  If you've never played along, give it a try!

For my take, I turned the sketch sideways and inked up some lawn fawn stamps.  I stamped the postcard image 3 times, and stamped other images from "you've got mail" and "admit one" onto each before sponging the edges and adding some copic coloring.

Instead of the scallop border, I stamped the "air mail" image 3 times onto adhesive paper and hung them off the edge of each postcard.... kind of like a post-it note tab :)

The strip of navy blue/white paper was created by cutting strips of navy cardstock (half an inch wide each) and adhering them to a white cardstock mat.  The over-hanging strips just got trimmed away at the end.

Thanks for peeking!
