Maura is this week's Color Challenge hostess. Her colors, Real Red, Marina Mist, Pacific Point and Wild Wasabi, reminded me of aprons and kitchen towels from the 50s, especially when she added ribbon as dessert. I have the pleasure of being a guest designer this month and knew I had the perfect papers for a little taste of retro!
I cut patterned paper and red with a scallop die and layered the strips. Cut tag on Slice, stamped sentiment. Stamped apron on pp, colored trim with gel pen, fussy cut, mounted on tag and added ribbon for trim. TFL
Come play along, we'd love to see your creations!

You nailed this one Carla. Those colors are the exact ones in some of the aprons my mom wore....you brought back such great memories. The different patterned dp looks great. Into my favs.

Congratulations, Carla, for being selected as a guest designer for the CC team! Wonderful retro card with the apron(who wears one like this anymore??) and the way you did the scalloped DPs in the bg...each edged with what is like piping. The stitched ribbon is the perfect accent.
