Today, Im playing along again with Retro Sketches. Great news! Last week when I played along with Retro Sketches, I was selected to receive a SHOUT OUT!!!! How cool???? Here is the inspiration for the week;

And, here is my card;

I started this card at 11:30pm, and I had finished it by 12. I was really happy with how it turned out.

Things I LOVE about the card

Stamp Set - I'll be honest - when I am looking for a stamp set to use, I have passed this set time and time again and thought 'Why would anyone use this set?' Tonight, I picked up the 'Tap Tap Tap' set because I loved the sentiment. We have some friends that are going through a tough time, so it was the most appropriate. So, I ended up using four stamps from the set. Click on the picture below if you would like more details about the set.

Also, using the letters stamp, I used Basic Grey on Basic Grey. I stamped a number of the images to create a background.

Colours - The first colour that I selected was Mint Macaron. I forgot how much I like that card. The other two were a natural fit - Basic Grey and So Saffron. Ive put together an image showing the three colours together.

Triple Banner Punch - I love this punch. Never has making a banner been so easy. There are three width banners that you can cut. Do you have it yet? Click on the image on the carousel of products at the bottom of this post for more details.

Droplets - The sketch for this challenge had some droplets on it. This was the last thing I added to the card. These are called White Perfect Accents (click on the image on the carousel of products at the bottom of this post for more details). I peeled the white part off and stuck down. I think it looks totally cool.
