How "Sixties" Is This?

How about a bright, “retro” card for today? This is one probably no one would ever want to case! My neighbor (who will be 14 on March 9) has a bright orange room with sixties things, so I made this card just for her. Does anyone else have this “problem” – I find it MUCH easier to just MAKE a card than to try to make a card specifically FOR someone. Anyway, here it is.

I knew I wanted to use the tie-dye background. I was pretty sure I wanted flowers. I mean, what says “sixties” better than flowers! I tried for a few days to come up with something and was drawing a blank. None of the flowers I was trying were working. Harriet to the rescue – she mentioned that the Cuttlebug flower die looked rather “hippie-ish.” Awesome idea! That was exactly the flower I was looking for! I generally forget about my dies.

I guess that’s about all you need to know about the card – tie-dye background and Cuttlebug die flowers. The tag was made with Stampin’ Up! tag punches and the sentiment is from Studio G.

Edited to add: I should have stated that the tie dyed layer is a piece of background paper that I had. It may be by Fiskars. Thanks for the question, Kim:)

Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!
