There is still another week for you to join the
Retro challenge over at Try it on Tuesdays.
So for this card I wanted to use my idea of colours from back then, all Distress inks.
Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Mustard seed, Walnut Stain and Abandoned Coral.
Painting the dress with red water colour.
The background is all layers of stencils [Sheena Douglas] and the stamps are Stampers Anonymous.

While I had these stamps, stencils etc on my desk I used them on this journal page.
The background had been coloured by wiping excess paint off brushes over time,
there was even a little random sprinkle of escaped Brusho powder.
I added a leafy stencil at the top of the page to add a bit of texture and use up some grunge paste

Who said using left overs wasn't fun, it is for me.
