Simple Computer

Hi there! It's Tracy here with my first post on the Market Street Stamps blog. I couldn't resist playing with this adorable little computer cutie when I first got him in.

I used this week's sketch over on CPS as the inspiration behind my card. The decorative paper is all from Cosmo Cricket's The Boyfriend line from last year. I thought it went perfectly with the computer/tech theme!

I kept my card pretty clean and simple. Some paper piercing on the patterned layer for interest, along with rounded corners. I used decorative scissors to create the pinked edge to the red layer.


I really wanted to bling out my computer in some way to draw a bit more focus to it, but still keep the card pretty masculine. So I used my Sakura Stardust gelly roll pens in sky star, golden star, and copper star to color in the trio of buttons below the screen.

Then I added a little squiggle in the bottom-right corner with my lime star Sakura pen. It's supposed to look like a little wire of sorts, but I'm not sure if I succeeded! Either way, this will be a great card for my equally geeky husband.
