Roman Holiday

Mornin' y'all!  Daphne is eager to go for her morning perambulation so I need to type fast : )  Here's my card for today:


Check out the Paper Players challenge:


I don't have any current stamps featuring wheels, so I went through my retired stamps for a likely candidate and settled on the Vespa from On the Grow, which always makes me think of the movie Roman Holiday.  Since I was using an older stamp set, I decided to go with the color palette from Retro Rubber:


I've had On the Grow since 2011, so it's definitely retro.  I checked my archives and apparently I've only ever used this stamp set one other time?  (Here's that card if you want to see.)  There's a really pretty little bouquet stamp in the set too, so I should use that one sometime.  Anyway, I read the colors as Night of Navy, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Shy Shamrock, and Mossy Meadow, and I used alllll of them on my image plus a bit of Gray Granite.  Since the Paper Players challenge is CAS, I didn't add any embellishments, just a few die cut pieces under the main image piece sponged with ink on the edges.  Simple.

Time to go take my crazy girl for a walk.  As far as she's concerned, this is shaping up to be the best day ever--the hubs fed her this morning and then Ryan fed her again, so she got TWO breakfasts.  Ha!

Cheers, y'all.
