Gina K Designs announced a very fun challenge today and a chance at being the "Center Stage Spotlight Designer" for May. The challenge is to choose your favorite movie and create a project using one of the brand new April stamp sets that is inspired by your movie choice.
WOW, I couldn't have picked a better opportunity to show off Nina's Brackett's "Vintage Background" stamp set and this Funny old lady zoomin' around in her VW bug has always reminded me of the movie "Driving Miss Daisy".
The second I heard about this challenge, I visualized exactly how I was going to use the "Vintage Background" stamps to create my scene. As you can see, I get a little zealous when I start creating my own patterned paper, which seem to make their way inside the card and onto the envelope. Absolutely perfect for ME, who does not ordinarily complete my cards. I can proudly say that this one is even stamped on the back.
Can you count how many different stamps I used on the front? SIX
(4 from Vintage Backgrounds (polka dots, tire tracks, small script, little leafs) (2 from You Know Your Old When (old lady & sentiment)
