You can check out all the fabulous inspiration at Winnie and Walter or The Classroom blogs.
This card is for the Day 3 Challenge of background building as well as the Day 5 Challenge to use this gorgeous mood board.
Background building. One of my favorite things to do. But the last of my creations for Share the Love cuz... which stamp(s) to use??? And then the tiny little Sparkle set fell out of my pile of WW lovelies and voila! See that classy setup in the lower left corner? Gave me all the inspiration I needed to make this card.
I did draw myself guidelines with a pencil, but this image makes lining things up (even without a MISTI!) very easy. Just added a touch of Delicata gold pigment ink to the centers of the sparkles. For more sparkle ;) I LOVE the retro feel I get from this design. (Why does it give me a retro vibe?!?!?)
The icing on the cake is the die cut "congrats" from Essentials by Ellen Zipper Panel. I cut it once from white CS I'd swiped with gold ink and then topped it offset with a black one.
I'm sharing this card at Craft Stamper, Take it Make it for July.
And at CAS on Sunday where the theme is Black and White and one Color.

Super pretty and, yes, retro feeling!
Stunning and I agree with Richard...it has that retro feel!

A retro, sophisticated beauty in the lemon and black, Maria! That hint of sparkle just takes it up a notch as well! Gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CASology this week!
Cool, stylish, retro, Maria ... love, love, love! Hugs, Anita :)
Very stylish! I love how you've dropped the pattern rather than centring it. And thanks for adding it to the Craft Stamper gallery :)
