Puns from the Past for Stamping 411 challenge...

In my former life (before kids), I was a journalist, so this card really appeals to me. The old-style typewriter is from Puns from the Past, which I earned for free awhile back. I love the artwork, but it never really seemed to go well with the designer papers until Newsprint came along. I used the Scallop Square punch for the little scallop detail behind the typewriter layer, adding pearls and a black jewel for a feminine touch. This card is perfect for a reporter friend of mine!


Stamp: Puns from the Past;
Ink: Basic Black;
Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Newsprint dsp;
Accessories: Basic Pearls, Black Flourish Designer Jewels, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" square punches, Scallop Square Punch, Top Note die, dimensionals.
