Now, for our extra little dare this week at Daring Card Maker's we thought it would be fun to step back in time and make a card inspired by a particular decade - so we'd like you to think "the 70s" - remember all that brown and orange wallpaper? Flower Power? Hippy Chicks through to the beginnings of Punk Rock? It was all there - and if you haven't a clue what we're on about - well the internet is a wonderful thing for finding out! Oh what fun I was born in 1970... what a great year that was....well at least I hope so... you might just have to ask my mum & dad.... LOL!!!
Hippy Hippy Groovey Chicky bits for this card are - Basic Grey PP, Heidi Swapp Blossoms, cardstock, Paper Flowers, gorgeous retro orange ribbon, 3L photo corners, epoxy letter stickers, brad & yes I sewed through the ribbon with my machine... I hope this takes you back to great times... I know the 70's for me were all about fun... TTFN Gillian :o)
So have you dared to DARE yet...... COME ON I DARE YOU!!!!!
