Such a fun theme at the current Time Out Challenges – Retro with the optional twist of One Layer. My Retro take on this challenge was incorporating Hippie and Flower Power…I had the perfect digistamp from Lily of the Valley – Thoroughly Modern Misses June.

Images
- Printed digistamp onto Hammermill cardstock with inkjet printer. This is safe for colouring with alcohol markers.
- Colour with Copics – B23, B18, B26, R02, R05, R27, Y11, Y32, Y26, E0000, E00, E02, BV00, N0, N2, N4, C1.

Background
- Cut out mask of girl (See ‘Tip’ below).
- Die cut background mask out of copy paper (thin) using Penny Black Antique Frames dies.
- Place masks over printed image (see image ‘Masks‘ below).
- Stamp My Favorite Things Bundles of Blossoms background stamp over masks.
- I then dry embossed using the same Antique Frames die.
Tip for creating mask of digistamp: I scanned image with my Brother Scan n Cut DX1200 and cut out of post it label tape. Otherwise, print out image again on copy paper and hand cut.

Sentiment
- I had the perfect sentiment from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit March 2018. The shape fitted the image perfectly.
- Stamp the sentiment in Versafine Claire Nocturne.

Finishing
- I wanted to spotlight the image so coloured around the outline with Copic Marker ‘C1’.
- Using ATG adhere background to card base.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
