mod squad (RIC, SCS)

Remember a show called "Mod Squad" back in the (I'm guessin' 70s)?  Not sure why, but this card made me think of it...


A die cut tag.  Some stamping.  Some masking.  A border punch.  Some twine.  A Happy Birthday sentiment on the inside.

My inspiration came from Runway Inspired Challenge #30.



That dress on the right.  Yello and black.  Graphic.  Some splashes of color.  A few flowers.  I put that into effect but chose a chartreuse cardbase instead.  Just felt funkier.  Thought the tag was a nod to fashion, though I'm sure those outfits don't have price tags!

Also playing at SCS Love Fest 2013F where The Cat's Pajama has an inspiration board, also with yellow and black graphic elements.

Thanks for stopping.



Supplies:
Paper: cardbase DCWV, CS Neenah, striped scrap
Stamps: SEI, BG WMS
Ink :Versafine
Tools: die PTI, punch Fiskars
Other: twine

I totally got your inspiration on this one with those ribbon weaving holes and the colors underneath, so well in line with the photo! And great use of the holes. I have a punch like that which seemed like a good idea in the store, until I got home and realized that I never use ribbon. Umm, hello?!
