Mo's Challenge #64

Let's go Retro!

I'm the hostess for this month's challenges, and I thought it might be fun to have a retro theme.

I don't think there's anything more retro than childrens'  wallpaper and fabric from days gone by. The image I've used is Mo's boy version of "Tuesday's Child". The baseball themed image in the background is a computer  print-out of a fabric sample from the 50's. If you do a search for vintage fabrics or wallpaper, you'll come up with lots of ideas!

I cut out a circle using a Nesties die and my Cuttlebug. I added the 'stitching' with a fine-tipped red marker and 'dirtied' the edges with a marker. The sentiment is from an SU! set called "Warmest Regards".

Images: Tuesday's Child from Mo's Digital Pencil, Sentiment from SU!'s "Warmest Regards"
