Going retro

I'm still excited to be Guest Designer for Seize the Birthday and it's time for another challenge and yes this one was a challenge for me as the optional topper is RETRO!

Now I don't really own any retro stamps as such but looking through old scrapbook papers I thought maybe I could work with something bright and in your face from the 2000s. But I totally fall in love with this retro wallpaper image online which so reminded me of wallpaper in my family home in the 60-70s. 

Isn't it just so cool - now I'm not sure if this is what STB were thinking of  but I have ended up loving my wee card which apart from the sentiment is a no-stamps card. 

Circles used were 1-1/2", 1-1/4", 1", 3/4" and 1/2"

Supply List:
Stamps: Easy Expressions Birthday (TT)

Ink: Early Espresso (SU!), Versamark

Paper: Neenah Natural White, Buttercup (C9), Pumpkin Pie (SU!), Cajun Craze (SU!), Early Espresso (SU!)

Dies: A2 Layers and Additional Layers (WF),  Sweet Stacks - Circles (HB); 

circles used were 1-1/2", 1-1/4", 1", 3/4" and 1/2"

Other: Gilded EP (BM)
Challenges: STB #290

I can't wait to see what retro ideas everyone comes up with and I hope you can join in with the fun but if the topper is stumping you, you can just enter a Birthday Card as that is always an option with Seize the Birthday card challenges.
