Bold, Mod & Retro Style

Hello friends,

Here's a card I made for the IG Hop 'Bulid Your Stash'. The theme this month is job related ( new job / promotion / retirement). This is the first time I made a card for this theme & pushed myself to make it. I wanted make a card that would be appropriate for both genders & came up with this Bold, Mod and Retro Style card. 

Products used:

#alinacutle (square die), #darice (Retro Circle embossing folder), #MFT (letters), #papertreyink (sentiment die), #tsukneko (Brilliance platinum ink) & iridescent star sequins. 

The squares were die cut in color inspired by the colors in the graphic below. They were then placed in different sections of the embossing folder for variation of the embossed design, which was then rubbed over with ink to highlight the design. The letters were die cut in black and silver, then glued slightly offset to create a silver shadow. Likewise, the sentiment was die cut with it's shadow die. The sentiment and squares were adhered on the card base and finished off with iridescent sequins.

Challenges entered:

#wordartwednesday - anything goes

#paperfunday - anything goes 

#sssmonday - get into shape

#wordpower - sentiment in focus

#diecutdivas - die cut, embossing folder + 3 R's (purple paper from a book cover, silver from a box of chocolates & other colors are scraps of cardstock)

Edited to add: A little recognition for this card...

Have a lovely day.
