Just Hit Play

A retro card for you using the fun Just Hit Play stamp set.

Tutorial

I rarely plan and mock up a card, but I needed to for this one. I started by stamping out the main elements on scrap copy paper with Versafine Smoky Grey, cut them out and placed them onto my slimline card base to determine the layout.

Then I chose my colours for my cassette tapes, stamped them and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I used Memento Desert sand to stamp the unspooled tape. I didn't want to fully cover the background so again I positioned the stamped pieces as I went, checking for balance in my composition.

I used my magnetic art station to anchor everything in place ready for adhering.

Once everything was stuck down, I trimmed the two overhanging cassettes. The style of the sentiment made it easy to slice and chop into individual words.

And those of us from the cassette era all know why the pencil's in the photo, don't we?
