I pulled out all the throwback stops on this card.
Two, not one, but TWO old SU stamp sets.
Using inks and masking to create a scenic background. Remember when that technique was all the rage?!
And to complete the throwback? I used old SU colored card stock in ?Summer Sun? Does this color even exist in SU's color family anymore? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
I did fail in making this card totally flashback by using Distress Inks vs SU retired inks. Sorry. Distress Inks just blend soooo much nicer, in my humble opinion.
