Blog Hop:
Me (you're here)
This stamp brings back memories of learning to type. I learned on a typewriter
that was very similar to this one.
I stamped this image on a piece of splash watercolor with Versafine ink
and heat embossed with clear powder. It gave the machine a shiny look
like the one I learned on.
I added a bit of watercolor to the surrounding images and used
a marker to color the pencils and flowers.
The sentiment is from Serendipity too.
I love the pretty font.
It's been fun joining in the Serendipity Blog Hop!

I love your card, so simple, yet so elegant!
Oh Bonnie, this card is so cool! I learned to type on a similar typewriter myself. lol I love this image and the way you used it. Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda
COOL card Bonnie! LOVE the black and white with just a touch of color from your water colors! The year I learned typing in school we had all brand new electric typewriters and they were all turquoise...I'm sure the guys all loved that! Funny how that memory just popped into my head after seeing your card! :0)
I love the way you used this typewriter stamp, Bonnie, and fun that it reminds you of the one you learned to type one. I love the light water color you added to your card with just a bit of red, love that!
How pretty, Bonnie! Love the light wash of color w/ the splashes of red here & there. How fun that you learned on a typewriter! I tried to take typing, but I only lasted a day, lol.
Fun artsy card. Great colour palette. xx
Brings back memories for me too - my Mum insisted I take typing in grade 10 (she didn't want to end up typing my essays for me!!) and we learned on old typewriters like this one. Love the black and white with just the little bits of red and pale blue. Perfect sentiment for it too!
Very cool! I swear my dad had this very typewriter. :-)
Thanks so much for joining us Bonnie! And great idea to emboss the typewriter to get the shine!
What a SUPER image, and a great sentiment. Love this card Bonnie.

Well done, Bon-Bon! Wouldn't this make a beautiful cover for a novel?! I love the wispy shades of blue and the pops of red!! Hugs, Dolly
Stunning card...love your vintage images!
Love this vintage typewriter. I learned on one similar to this too.
Such a cute typewriter! Love the extra water coloring on it.
What a wonderful stamp Bonnie, and I love how you used it . It's perfect in black and white with just that bit of red! I also have to agree that the font of that sentiment is fabulous! What a fun card!
Who would have guessed we would now be using our typing skills on a quiet keyboard with easy access to a back button to correct our mistakes.?!? TFS your wonder vintage typewriter and CAS design, Bonnie. Hugs...
What memories this image brings! Your card is lovely!
This does bring back
memories! Very pretty.

Pretty note card! Love the shiny finish on the typewriter!
Bonnie such a pretty card with the soft watercolouring, I used to have one of these:)
Love your card. Beautiful and perfect coloring.
What a blast from the past -- I learned on one like this, too. Such soft coloring so the typewriter stands out. Cool card.
What a fabulous stamp and great memories Bonnie. The pop of red looks great on your gorgeous card x
Congrats on your guest spot Bonnie! You made a fabulous card and I think that is the machine I learned on too...is that aging us?? *wink Have a wonderful weekend!! Heart Hugs, Colleen
This is so cool! Love the soft colours of your splash background and then that amazing typewriter image. I learned on something similar as well. :) Bring back good memories! Such a fantastic card Bonnie. So excited to see you in the Serendipity Hop again! Congrats, my friend! xx
Nicely done card with a great image. It does bring back lots of memories!
Very pretty card Bonnie - the sentiment is fabulous!
You are dating yourself to say you learnt to type on a machine that looked like that! I learned on a portable one that my Dad had - it must have been one of the first portable ones now I think about it!
Blessings

Very nice card! Love the colors you used.
I learned on a typewrite like this too, Bonnie, back when I was a sophomore in high school. I love the vintage look with the soft coloring on parts of the image and the bright pops of red.
Your typewriter is perfect for your vintage card
Brings back memories of high school, learning
to type. Nostalgia is fun - especially
when you don't have to work with the
particular piece of equipment. Great card.
thanks for sharing

Oh, I love this card, Bonnie! It has a special nostalgic feeling. The clear heat-embossed classic typewriter looks awesome! Your soft watercoloring is wonderful, and I love the pop of the red!
