Happy Thursday, everyone! Today, I am sharing a 60s retro vibe. I am pleased to announce that this set is part of my design team contribution for the Colorful Options Challenge. My color palette is the right-hand side of the suggested colors: yellow, orange, and peach.

Why not venture over to the Colorful Options Challenge and check out the amazing creations from the talented design team members.

This set was a fairly quick and easy make.

The card: Using Xpress blending card stock, cut your paper to 4.25in x 5.5in and tape off the edges. Choose some copic markers and start coloring irregular curved lines in a vertical pattern. Grab a white Posca pen and delineate the lines with white circles in varying sizes. Grab some coordinating gel pens and add extra little dots, creating “lines” over the “color blocks.” Position the sentiment & white cut image, and you’re done. If you don’t have a die cut like this, you could paint the cat with acrylic paint instead.

The envelope: Using white cardstock, create an envelope base. Fold the envelope so you can see the front and the back flap. Pick a 60s graphic design and duplicate it with your copics. Pick some fun coordinating stamps and you are good for mailing.

I found some fun “tuck-ins” to add with this set for mailing: cat-shaped post-its, paw sticker, 60s-inspired graphic art postcard, and orange cachet with a cat paper clip. The only disadvantage to the tuck-ins is that the thickness will classify it as a small package with $5.70 postage.

Have a great month, everyone!
