This is my card for the first challenge at http://paperplaytime.blogspot.com/ Janis said Groovy. Okay, I was born sometime in the second half of the 50's so the 60's, 70's were my time but I couldn't come up with anything. I keep singing Feelin' Groovy over and over in my head hoping inspiration would hit. Duh....the song!!! I got on google and typed it in so I could listen to the whole thing. Simon and Garfunkel were so popular back then. The lamppost part just hit me! So.....my card!
I did an 8 1/2x5 1/2 card. Bottom pattern layer is 8 1/4x5 1/4, the middle pattern layer is 7 3/4x4 3/4 and the white top layer is 7 1/x4 1/4. I used my Gypsy.
I cut the lamp post from the Heritage cartridge 3 times at 1.50x6.53. I layer 2 pieces and popdotted them to the third which I glued to the card front. I used orange peel stickles in the cut out part of the lamp.The tulips are the border cut from pg. 99 from the Walk in my Garden cartridge. I cut it 4 times each at 1.60x1.90 and 2.09x2.49. Then I did the shift key and did 2 times each of pink, purple, yellow and orange in each of the same sizes as the border to get my flower colors. I popdotted the larger ones to my card and glued the smaller on top of them. I used 3 sets each on front and 1 for the inside. I punched some butterflies using my MS punch from the patterned papers I used in my layers. Blinged them with purple pearls. What's a butterfly without a little bling huh?!
I used my computer to do the verse from the song: Hello Lamppost What'cha knowin' I've come to watch your flowers growin' Ain'tcha got no rhymes for me? Do do do do Feelin' groovyI did everything in black at Hobo BT font 16 and the groovy in purple Hobo BT font 26.
I hope you like my card. It was really fun making this one. Kept singing Feelin' Groovy, over and over and over and over..........! :)
