The Tune In Bundle is a quirky and fun one for some retro cards. The old TV consoles were like a main piece of furniture in a room. Now we have thin, large screens that can hang on the wall. My how times change.
Stamp Bundle
The Tune In Bundle is such a fun one. There are so many ways to use this retro looking set. Today’s card is a simple version. I kept the additions to a minimum for a cleaner look. I had shared another version a while back. You can see that wilder version by clicking HERE.
This card reminds me of the evening news, or even mid day, when something “special” happened. We would see the “News Flash” pop up. It is hard to believe that this and a newspaper were our means of information back then. That is why I kept this card fairly plain. The TV and antenna are cut with the matching Die set. As is the little stars around the card. The screen is also a Die cut of White that I used the Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend in Light to scribble on. I think it gives it a bit of the old TV screen look. And the flashing design is also from the Die set.
Background
The background layer is the awesome Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder. This swirl of large and small dots definitely fits the retro look. It is a little like the tie die designs. This has been very popular and is out of stock. But is back either this week or next. I was not really interested in it originally. That is shocking to me now as it is so fun and flexible. Duh!! With the scattered star designs it became a perfect retro background.
Finishes
This card is a bit plainer that I normally do. So I gave it some added bling with the Sparkle Gems. These are Silver, Black, and Gold sparkle gems that create a great Bling. I added the silver to the stars and then some of the black ones scattered around for added bling. As a bonus these are flat so great for mailing without adding additional bumps on the card.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great weekend.
