Amanda said...

Lovely card, expertly coloured. Can't wait to see which stamps you have bought. I remember the eighties first time around as the decade style forgot lol, oh heaven I hope blue mascara doesn't make a comeback or shoulder pads so huge you had to walk through the door sideways, happy times

Sue B said...

Oh no! the dreaded mustard is back !!! It never suited me either as I'm very pale also. I bought a mustard top in 80s and had it in wardrobe for years and never ever wore it !!! LOL
Aww this card is gorgeous Coops! Awesome colouring and the background is stunning! Love the layout and papers and those flowers are fab!
Have a great Sunday!
Hugs Sue xx

Crafty Loops said...

Oh no!!! Not the dreaded mustard colour! Ive just been catapulted back to 1990 being 10 years old and my Mammy producing the most awful skirt and jumper! A skirt with a jumper!! As if that wasnt a crime against fashion, it was all mustard coloured too. And of course at the time, I thought I was the bee's knees in it, heehee. Anyway, enough of my fashion faux pas! This card is beautiful Coops, I love your flowers. Lee xx

Jules said...

Hope you are having a good weekend and that your stamps arrive soon!!!

Love Jules xx

cardmaking bird said...

Ha, ha - I know what you mean about the whole 'mustard revival'!! I was shopping the other day and felt like I'd fell in a hot dog LOL! It can't be too popular though cos the same blouse in New Look in mustard was £11 and in cream was £22!! The only thing I'm glad has come back is leggings - and that's only cos they're so comfy LOL! Anyway, on to your card - it's gorgeous!!! This image is a beauty and I love how you've done the background with the dots. Funny enough, I bought a cardmaking kit with these papers from TKMaxx today! Hugs, Marie xxx
