Here I stamped and masked the press photographer ( it's a very old wood-backed Ken Brown stamp) and then stamped the text background and the cityscape. Then I coloured bits in with a mustard yellow Promarker.

Little Red Wagon trends - I think the white embossed sentiment on black strip is a trend that doesn't seem to be going away yet. (Hope not!)

Fab card! Love the text background and awesome photographer image! Perfect buildings in the background, too!

Wow, this is perfect for a masculine card, I've not ever seen this fella before! Great way to use it with that cityscape, too! Thanks for sharing this with us at Retro Rubber this week!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card - fab layout.
ReplyDeleteI love this, it's a really interesting card Marina, great design and you've fit in with the challenges you took part in perfectly! Retro Rubber give a good opportunity to ink up those oldie but goodie stamps don't they?!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, fab choice of the pop of colour too

Oh that vintage photographer is just brilliant, really suits the mustard colour too. And you would need something to do whilst watching the X Factor, watched it all too but thought it was pretty rubbish. Thanks for playing at The Male Room.
ReplyDeleteX factor is back? Crap I missed it... I'll have to do catch up. Terrific masculine card Marina... Love the combination of stamps!

Wow. This a truly cleverly designed card, I love the combo of images. He’s a photographer but with the text print I’m thinking of newspapers and journalism as well. Great retro look.
ReplyDeleteWonderful masculine card and i like the white embossing on black. Right, i think it is still an actual trend.
