Get Your Birthday Kicks

Once in a while I break out of my distressed, vintage mode and make something that is clean, crisp, and simple.  Today is one of those days, and we're going mid-century modern!


These retro Route 66-themed stamps by Artistic Outpost are perfect for a masculine card.  I teamed them with bold polka dot paper and the quintessential 1950s colors of turquoise, pink, and black to create this birthday card for a male friend.  It's going to be a great night for a celebration.

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!  Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Artistic Outpost; black, turquoise, and pink cardstocks by Bazzill; whisper white cardstock from Stampin' Up; Archival jet black ink; patterned paper by Me and My Big Ideas, pop-dots.
