Another card

It's been sl-o-o-o-o-o-w going in the creative department.  I have had NO free time to speak of, between work, and training, and study, and family issues, and the house sale...  I am in desperate need of some quality scrap time, and/or some quality time with some scrappy friends.  So, this week I managed one lonely little card, and a layout which I'll share in a different post later in the week.

This is my card, created with a few different challenges in mind:




# Design Dollies ~ Colour challenge ~ black, yellow, turquoise.  Definitely the most challenging colour combo I've encountered so far.  I do love it though!
# Design Dollies ~ Sketch challenge
# Some Odd Girl ~  Style Challenge #2 ~ the 80's

I couldn't find a way to work in a SOG digi image, so I used a digital brush that I found at deviantart ~ It's part of a free set called Telephonic Communications by kidwoofwoof and it's the first time I've used a Photoshop brush on a card.  I printed it onto a transparency, then cut it out.  My 80's inspiration is the song 'Call Me' (Blondie, 1980) and the Madonna-esque black lace, as well as the actual phone image.  We had a rotary dial phone like this at home till around 1986.  I remember how awesome it was to upgrade to a push button telephone!

# NVS ~ Challenge #5 ~ May collage
Inspired by the Blondie image in the same colours, and the song title. I don't really know if it's collage-y enough for this challenge?  Collage style is definitely a genre in which I have a lot of growth potential (read: I'm not very good at it...)

 I also used: Bella cardstock, Bazzill 'Lemonade' cardstock, Rose Moka 'Appel d la Nature' paper, Carolee's Creations alpha stickers, Stampin' Up ink, and a little charm I was sent in a RAK quite some time ago.
