SAF this year is all about time - from ancient Rome to the present. This challenge focuses on the 1960's...ugh, when looking at some of the styles and colors from that time it makes me wonder "what were we thinking"? Haha Of course, 50 years from now people will be saying the same thing about us!
I was looking through my pattern paper and came across a pack of "Retro Kitchen" paper! Oh, how perfect for this challenge! I know it's a little bit of a cheat using pattern paper instead of doing my own stamping, but what other time would be more ideal for this paper?
I cut the pattern paper slightly smaller than A2 card size and rounded the corners with a small corner rounder. The oval is die-cut in Spring Rain cardstock and the sentiment stamped in black ink. It's layered on a scalloped oval in True Black cardstock and placed on foam tape for a little dimension. The entire panel is adhered to a Spring Rain cardstock card base.
Doesn't this just scream "good to the last drop" for a Maxwell House coffee ad from the 60's??? Plus, I think this blue color was the color of our kitchen growing up. Oh, the memories.....
