Whimsy Stamps - Another Retro Birthday

Hello there.  I hadn’t planned on sharing my second retro birthday card created with more fun Whimsy Stamps (WS) products here on my blog (it was posted on Instagram yesterday), but some challenges inspired it.  First card can be seen HERE .  

The never before used (NBUS) Burst Background was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder (EP).  Squeezed Lemonade, Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet distress inks were then ink blended on and excess ink wiped off with a paper towel.  The disco ball from the Retro Groovy toner card front was foiled with Silver Deco Foil through a laminator, then fussy cut out with a slight white border. 


The Retro Dancers and NBUS Awesome word were die cut from white and silver glitter papers, respectively.  Glued “awesome” to white cardstock and fussy cut out for a shadow.  The sentiments from Simple Sentiment Strips were heat embossed with silver EP and trimmed to strips.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.
