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!

Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Newsprint dsp;
