My husband wanted me to make him a card for a work mate this week and as said person is a technology geek, I knew I wanted to use my new Papersmooches set but I wasn't sure what to do with it. Then I saw this sketch at Retro Sketches and inspiration struck. http://retrosketches.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/retrosketches-19.html
I love the little details you get with this set - particularly the little bird for twitter. I decided to go with a blue colour theme so will also enter this into Addicted to Stamps this week http://addictedtostamps-challenge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/ats-addicted-to-blue-challenge-1.html I stamped the Ipad image and added the sentiment (using Elzbells alphabet stamps) and the twitter icon and emoticon and cut it out so mount onto my denim tag. I criss-crossed the chevron paper with some space invaders ribbon and mounted the controller icon over the middle. My husband was really pleased with it and thought it was perfect for his mate.
It would also be a perfect entry for our ongoing month-long challenge over at St Luke's Charity Cards Challenge which this month is all about teenagers - we have a great prize from The Ribbon Girl so do play along http://stlukescharitycardschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/teenage-kicks.html
