Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jules would like us to use a "Retro" theme for our birthday cards. Can't wait to see what you create with this theme. Hope to see you in our gallery.
I thought and thought about what I wanted to do for the retro theme and finally found this jukebox image on Pinterest. I downloaded the jukebox, colored it with SU Blends - Smokey Slate, Melon Mambo, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight. I fussy cut the image and then had to decide what to do with it. I thought the music notes (Cottage Cutz die) would be perfect with it. I embossed a white panel with SU Brick & Mortar EF, (retired) and lightly blended Smokey Slate ink over the raised parts. Then I added a strip of grey pattern paper along the bottom for a floor to sit the jukebox on and mounted it with foam tape. I glued the music notes around and then added the sentiment (Gina K. Birthday Greetings) with foam tape. This was a fun card to create and I like the finished result.
Such a fun jukebox! Perfect for this challenge
