Just my type...

I love this typewriter from the Suburbia cartridge!
My son has a birthday coming up next month, and since it is close
to Valentine's Day, I chose the colors red, black, and white for this project.


I started with a bright red cardstock for the base, added a
white mat, glittery red ribbon, punched borders, and
finished it off with two black gemstones.
The frames are cut in 1/4" intervals from Storybook
and then are decorated by hand - "doodle-style."
To add the front sentiment, I cut a slit in the top of the typewriter
with my craft knife, stamped the paper with a stamp from 
Cardz TV's - It's All About You stamp set.
 I do love the color choices - Red, Black, and White always go well together -
and they are my HS Alma Mater colors!

 I will be entering this in the following challenges:
Cardz TV - Color Challenge
Little Scrap Pieces - Birthday Card
Speedy Fox - Doodle a Frame
My Craft Spot - Wish Big / Anything Birthday
Wednesday Word Art - Anything Goes
DLArt Linky Party - Anything Goes
Simon Says - Anything goes
DL Art Thankful Thursday - Use red or pink
Pause Dream Enjoy - Mainly Red
Paper Playtime - Border Punches
TFL!!

    I love this card, Marcia. I worked for many years as a secretary, so this image is very near and dear to my heart. I LOVE typing - and I type about 110 wpm. That's why I have to be so careful not to make typing mistakes. LOL
    Thanks for sharing this darling little card with us in our challenge this week. I'm always blessed by your participation and thank you for joining us!

    What a great card using a typewriter for the main image. I love the idea of putting the sentiment on paper in the typewriter. You could add any message for any occasion. Thanks for sharing with us at Cardz TV.

    Absolutely fabulous!!! As a "retired" typing teacher, I too love the typewriter on Suburbia and have made several. Your color choices (also my HS colors) are fabulous. It's a cool, blustery day here today so I plan to get in gear and make a card like yours.

    Thanks for sharing your creativity! I love it! (and your son will, too!)
