Hello Friends! It's nice to be back, playing along with Unity FWF this week.
I love this little typewriter stamp. Not many people have typewriters anymore, but when I was young, we didn't have computers, but my dad had an old typewriter. I was so fascinated by that little machine and I spent hours learning the keystrokes with the help of my mum's really old typing manual. That was a worthwhile effort because I can type pretty fast on my keyboard today, with all my fingers ;-)
Here's a closer look at the card:
I've kept the card fairly simple with a little colouring on the stamped image. I love these new papers by Jillibean Soup, Sweet & Sour Soup.

Great card! I love that DP!
Thanks for the comment on my FWF post. You should definitely dabble in "smashing" because from the looks of this adorable card, you'd create a pretty cool page, I bet! *smile* Have a great day!
Everything goes so perfectly together, I wish I could do that!
Eeek! I love it! The typewriter stamp is great...definitely on my wish list. Love the embossing, too.
Fantastic! Love the embossed barb wire background, the letter dp and your coloring of the typewriter!!
This is totally sweet! We had a typewriter when I was younger, too. ;)
This card is super sweet. Love the typewriter stamp.
holy cow this is cute!!
WOW! Fantastic card.. Love what you did with it
You have found just the perfect paper for this card, Kary! It's so pretty! Yep, there's nothing better than the sound of the typemachine to go back in time! Love them as well!
Hugs, Wendy
The paper you have used for this card is fabulous! The sweet image would be perfect to use for Note Cards of all kinds.
Great card neat one for the office
perfect paper for the typewriter--i love your card, kary!
Some day kids will say,"You used computers? You had to type? You couldn't just think what you wanted to say and it would print?" Nice job.
LOVE IT!!!
Fabulous card Kary - and you and I followed the same path with being self taught on a parents typewriter (it was my Dad's) using a manual!!

LOVE it. I asked my mom for our old portable typewriter to use for journaling in my scrapbooks. Too funny.
Note to self...get this stamp :) Super cute.

Love the retro typewriters and great choice of papers.
What an 'antique'card. I was transported back in time when I first learned how to type "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". My fingers were often caught in between the letter pads.
I love this!! That "note to self" is fabulous...
Really love this card!!! My dad used to have to type on old typewriters...so I clearly remember them (and used them too). Your card brought back memories today, thanks for the fabulous inspiration!
LOVE the typewriter!!! This is absolutely fabulous.
Love the chicken wire impression plate!
