Mrs. B's Crafting Addiction: 1960's Retro for TioT

1960's Retro for TioT

Yes, it's back in time to the 1960's for our new Retro Challenge at Try it on Tuesdays, this could be fashion, popart, colours or whatever the swinging 60's means to you.
I've gone with fashion and downloaded a picture of Twiggy. I've kept the whole theme black/white. I stamped some circles using a couple of plastic caps, some die cut flowers and a computer generated sentiment.
For more inspiration, why not pop over to the main blog as the rest of the DT have some great ideas to get you on the right track.
