Retro Berry Birthday

Hey all! I really loved the retro-themed sketch at As You See It this week. And when I saw the colors at Color My Heart, I knew they would fit perfectly. It's like I'm being transported to a bright sunny kitchen in the 1970's! I made this birthday card and I'll enter it into the birthday challenge at Use Your Stuff.


I cut my shapes from the Cricut. The colors I used were Sunny Yellow, which I feel is a good match to Lemon, Pear, which is not quite as bright as Willow, but I don't have anything more similar, and Poppy. The Taste of Summer paper pack had a nice bright yellow like Lemon, I thought it was perfect. I stamped the strawberries in Poppy and Pear and finished off the card with a thin yellow ribbon. I stamped a simple "Happy Birthday" on the inside. I love the way it turned out, and I hope you love it too!
