essentials by ellen july mix it up challenge: paper smooches

I had a lot of fun with this card, which I made for the Essentials by Ellen July Mix it Up Challenge with Paper Smooches.  This card is so me...It's so old school:)

For some inspiration, I was actually listening to 80s music while painting these cassette tapes.  Here are some other layouts I tried out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps: Paper Smooches Beboppin'
Dies: Essentials by Ellen Zipper Panel Die
Inks: Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors; Ranger Archival (jet black)
Other: sequins

casology: repeat

It's been a while since I've played along with the CASology challenge, but I'm pushing myself to get back into crafting and cardmaking swing of things.  Here's a clean and simple card I made using the cue word repeat.

I stamped and masked the cassette tape several times to create a repeated image.  Then, I made the ombre effect using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.  There were some cassette tapes with ombre labels back in the day, right?

Thank you for stopping by.

I'm back from a quick trip to California, where I got to spend a lot of quality time with my family and as a bonus, play with some of my sister's craft supplies.  Here's one of the cards I made:
