Just Us Girls #490 - Word Week

How much fun will this be?  Sue has chosen 'Retro' as her Word Week challenge at Just Us Girls.
The last time I made a retro card I went mid-century modern.  This time I went with the 60's.

I heat embossed the flowers from PTI onto some GinaK key lime cs, coloring in the centers with a yellow gel pen.  In the photo they just look like a darker version of the card base.  Using some MFT letter dies gifted to me by Michele, I cut the word 'groovy three times then added the heat embossed sub-text.

What era will Retro take you to?  The Design Team and our guest designer Marlena have some interesting cards to inspire you.  Make a card and you may be our Chic of the Week and eligible for a guest design spot.

Lisa Kind said...

All I can think of when looking at this is the song "Feeling Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel! I loved the 70s! Those flowers are surely reminiscent of that era! Love your card!
