There have been a few times in my life when I’ve had to use a typewriter. At those times, I realize how dependent I am on the backspace key! When I type, I go through a million versions of the same sentence before settling on something I like.
The result is one good sentence and a pile of crumpled up rejects on the floor!
Thank God for computers, Microsoft Word and my beloved backspace key.
There is a point to all this talk of typewriters…I promise!
It’s been a while since I played along with the Embellish Magazine Color Challenge, so I thought I’d have some fun with it this week.
The colors are fab and the theme gave me the perfect reason to create a card that gives a little nod to those frustration-filled typewriting sessions…when you just can’t get it right on the first try!
I found this sweet typewriter image while browsing through Google images, so I did some fiddling with it in Illustrator and used it as a “digital stamp” of sorts.
My jaws just fell on the floor looking at your card. You are very clever Amber! I love your ideas and how you put them on your cards. Great work, Amber!
Ummm… raise your hand if you LOVE this card!!! Can you see mine waving high? This is impeccable. Love it to pieces! So glad you joined us for the Embellish Color Trends Challenge!
This is so awesome, Chica. Just a perfectly cute and brilliant card….as always!
Great card…. love it. The little rumpled paper adds an awesome detail.
Awesome typewriter image and I love the crumpled bits of paper!! This card rocks.

Sheer brilliance! Love the typewriter but I think I love the detail of the crumpled up bits of paper even more! The colors are awesome! You are so darn clever!
I absolutely LOVE your idea. Those little crumpled “rejects” are just perfect!
Seriously genious Amber! Oh my word, the crumpled pieces of paper are hilarious and then the inside finishes the job! Too cute!
