Yep, that's the whole Flashback. After I'd stuck everything down, I *really* wished that I had sponged the edges of the patterned paper triptych to make them feel more of a piece with the focal point. Coincidentally, my new card for today has somewhat similar colors:
The other images in the set include a trumpet, a corset with flowers, and a fountain pen, and while I like them I haven't figured out how to use them. Sometimes that happens, I get a stamp set that I like but just can't think what to do with it. Oh well. Anyway, today's card layout is brought to you by Freshly Made Sketches:
I had to make mine landscape rather than portrait since the umbrella image is so big. I used the Pals Paper Arts color challenge for my palette:
I used some Soft Suede in there too since it's a neutral and a Dynamic Duo with Early Espresso.
That's it for me this week, I've got to go get in the garage and start putting prices on items for the garage sale tomorrow. Cheers, peeps!

Lovely card Christy! Love that embossed background! Great job with the colouring! I like to pull out old stamp sets as well. It's especially helpful for people who can't always be buying the latest and greatest! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Very sweet vintage card, Christy. Perfect stamp set for the PPA colors. Love the shading and coloring... adds to the vintage appeal. Thanks for including the PPA color challenge in your stamping fun this week!
Sweet sweet umbrella! Pretty vintage look! So glad you joined us at FMS and PPA!
Such a pretty card! The umbrella is colored beautifully! Thanks for playing along with the PPA challenge!
Very nice. The stamp is kind of odd, but that's the feeling I get when I look at some old photos anyway. Vintage . . . very nice colors! I LIKE IT!
