I'm back! I wanted to write to my cousin and decided to whip up a fun card to write out and send. Note that in my continuing efforts to keep my CAS cards CAS, I refrained from distressing the outer edges of this card and I have not added any embellishments. Heehee!
Stamps: SU Office Ephemera
Paper: Michaels's white base, ? scraps
Stamped typewriter on dark cream c.s. and emb in Stampendous black. Cut out. Used another stamp from the set to create a bg. Inked w/Ranger DI barn red (stamping and edges.) Adhered typewriter to bg panel, then to black c.s. panel. Adhered completed panel to card base. Stamped MFT sentiment w/black Memories ink. (Tried to emb but could not get that MFT stamp to work w/Ranger Medium. Anybody else have that happen w/a MFT clear stamp?) Had to take panel off and adhere to new card, on which I just stamped (not emb) the sentiment. I think Millie will like it!
THANK YOU for taking time to look at my card!

Very nice...I like the way that you did your BG, it really highlights the image well. I use Versamark and detail EP...don't know if either of those things would make a difference, but I usually get good results. I also try to stamp on a surface with a little "give." Best of luck, but this does look wonderful just the way that it is
