I'm pleased to announce that I'm the latest addition to the Stampin' B's Design Team!! Each week one member of this fabulous group issues a fun cardmaking challenge. This week my friend Benzi issued the challenge--to use a charm on your card. Easy Peasy!!
I was excited to dig into my collection of fun charms from Mark's Finest Papers for this adorable brass seahorse. For some crazy reason, seahorses make me think of retro 50s & 60s bathrooms, (I know, weird, huh??). I was picturing pearly seahorse plaques in a mint green and pink bathroom, so I Googled "mint pink bathroom" for inspiration for this card--and found it in spades!!
I used images from the Mark's Finest Papers Flourished Sea Creatures stamp set and some lovely pearlescent Sparkle Finish card stock (also from MFP) for my 50s flashback card. I love how it turned out!!

Very elegant card, i would have never thought to use those colours together but it works! I love the three embossed lines too. I know what you mean about "mint" bathrooms, I affectionately refer to that mint as "toilet green". In your card the mint is so appealing especially with the matching sheer ribbon.
