Ring Ring, Anyone There?

Oh, Hello again my friends. I am back with another card for the Retro Sketch Challenge for this week. This Timeless Talk was another set that my friend  Julia had that I don't so wanted to play with it. I wanted to make another card with the lovely Tape It stamp set which I figured was just perfect for this challenge.  I love that set to make it look like I used Washi Tape. Love it!

Yes, this card just makes me happy like being around my friend Julia. Here is a picture of us at that garden we visited.

I had the best time with her last weekend and it just went so darn fast. She is such a dear treasured friend. Look at her in her pearls. So classy!

On my card I used the Color Coach to pick the colors and they came out so pretty and bright I think.
I used Pumkin Pie for my card base and then a layer of Whisper White. The colors I used for the Tape IT images are Basic Gray, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the image for the phone on a scrap of Whisper White and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I punched it out with the Scallop Circle Punch. Then I stamped the Oh, Hello from the stamp set Oh, Hello. Julia couldn't find the other Hello there so I used that one. I used the Apothecary Accents Framelits and then sponged but with Pumpkin Pie ink. I used the Gorgeous Grunge set to stamp between the tape images.

Tape It and Gorgeous Grunge Male Birthday Card

Yay, it is the weekend stamping friends and I have a male card to share with you today. I wanted to play  with some of the new toys I got from the new Stampin' UP! catalog yesterday since it rained before I could go pick berries. Now today there is flash flood warnings in some areas around here.  Jeepers, it is good for my garden but not for outside activities. Oh well, my room needs to get cleaned anyway. LOL!  
 I love this Tape It set and wanted to make a male card from it so I looked up my Color Coach and this is what I came up. I stamped it for a male card challenge I found.  The colors are Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush and Smoky Slate. All new colors. The Positively Chevron,Tape It, and the hostess Express Yourself are the stamp sets that I used here.  The Ribbon Slides are retired sadly enough. I stocked up as I loved them so much.     

Anyway, I hope you have a terrific weekend.  You know I can help you with all your stamping needs and you just need to click on my shop now button on the right. Bless you for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions.  
Hugs, Bev
