Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for a new challenge at CASology. Our cue word this week is VINTAGE. I had several ideas for this cue word, including images I had of a vintage bicycle and a vintage telephone. I also thought of vintage wine. I ultimately decided to go with this cute vintage typewriter image, and will come back later with some additional inspiration if time allows.
I am also linking this card up at Retro Rubber #15 Vintage.
So, how about you? How are you inspired by VINTAGE? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Love this in the black and white, and that red twine looks so fantastic with it. Is that an embossing folder that you've used to create the background? Such an effective combo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card, love the pop of red from the twine
ReplyDeleteLove the subtle reinforcement of the image by using that embossed background!

ReplyDeleteI thought of using this image, too, Joyce...so glad you did, your card is awesome! Sad that my kids have never even seen a typewriter...indeed, I guess they are now vintage. How time flies!
ReplyDeleteAh yes...I have memories of using such typewriters, back in the day when my second year of teaching, I taught 'typing' 7 classes a day (BORING!). Electric typewriters were the 'new rage', but we still had a couple classes using these...aaa space sss space ddd space...Oops...guess I'm dating myself! Love your card!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Love the pop of red from the twine and the embossed background is perfect!
ReplyDeleteTo think typewriters are considered vintage these days! I learned to type on one and that wasn't all that long ago...or was it?! Eeek!
ReplyDeleteLove this! :)
Hey Joyce!! Would you believe I was on the hunt the other day for an old typewriter. I just wanted it to have in my house. I found one for $3 at a thrift store. Awesome fine. Your card is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteLove that embossed background, Joyce ... perfect with that cute wee monochrome typewriter ... and the teeny pop of red! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card...your embossed background is so perfect with your vintage typewriter, love that wonderful look you created!
ReplyDeleteGreat vintage card! Someone called my office today to tell me that the printer was out of ribbon. I chuckled and said, "It's not a typewriter. I'll get some toner ordered." I remember typewriters and typewriter ribbon and even carbon paper. Pfft!
