In Southend, I was inspired by a cafe I saw on the front - it's called 'Three Shells Beach Cafe' and it has three pastel-coloured fibreglass (?) shells for the roof - I think it looks like a kitschy retro American-style diner , although I didn't see inside. (Might have been disappointed!) . That's the style I'm going for with this card.
The sundae is from Papermania Happy Days CD and I cut it on the Silhouette, also cutting an offset 'shadow'. I coloured it with Promarkers, liquid pearls and glitter. The 'cherry pie' label is also from Happy Days and I put it in a flattened bottle cap. I also used various patterned paper, 3 Candi and a die cut text.

ReplyDeleteI love the retro style look, sometimes I wish I lived back then in the fifties, but I'm a terrible dancer and look awful in big fluffy skirts with flat shoes, so perhaps not, lol...
ReplyDeleteIt does have that American diner look, and I love the foam creamy look you've created. Love the detail of the bottle cap too!
