As luck would have it I already had a gelli print bg made with 2 of today's colors . I cut the cityscape to accommodate the smaller side of the card and popped up the rest in front. The woman image is a photo stamp, one from a photo booth image and she's from the 30's or 40's. This reminds me of my mom who went to college late 30's and met my dad then. They wore a lot of hats then as the lady is in the photo. That and the sentiment reminds me of Big Band music which was so popular then and my parents were HUGE fans! Mom would tell me stories of going to see a favorite band and she'd rush up to the front right by the stage..brings back memories of me going to see CSN&Y or the Allman Brothers. One thing I know..I got a love of music from my parents and Big Band is still a fav for me as well as a lot of other genres. Thanks for looking!

Polly, I just love your style! Your card represents the era so beautifully and you do create some of the most beautiful, unique backgrounds I have seen! I may be dangerously close to Big Band era!

How fabulous Pol!!! I am a huge fan of your gelli plates and this one is so COOL!!! Love the way you did your die cut city too! To me, it looks especially wonderful with those "bubbles" in the sky of your scene! Your vintage lady is fantastic too! It is neat to think of those days when everyone wore hats! Love your little cat-eye glasses too! So creative and awesome!!!
