I made this card for my brother's birthday!
This was cut with the Nifty Fifties Cricut cardtridge. I just love the way it turned out!
This cartridge is full of fun images from that era.
And since we he was born in this era, it is only appropriate that I make a card representing the 50's!
I ran the red background piece thru a Spellbinder's impression plate. The car bumper is some glittery paper, but it doesn't show up very well in this photo. And I used Glossy Accents on the letters (which wasn't completely dry when I took this photo, so it looks a little cloudy!)
...and the inside sentiment was printed on the computer.
I used a Martha Stewart punch to make the balloons, and added some Sew Easy twine for the strings.
I am going to enter this into the
and hope to win one of her new fabulous stamp sets in her random drawing!!!!
AND...it is perfect for the current RETRO challenge at Scrappy Moms!

Well happy birthday to your brother! Love the retro drive in look Mackie and the colors are perfect with it. I just saw something on TV about drive ins making a come back. I loved going to them when I was a little girl ;)!!
This is just a fabulous card. First because it's a wonderful guy card (always hard for me) and the sentiment inside is just perfect to go along with the image on the front. The background paper is great, too. Thanks for sharing at Cardz TV.
