One ring-a-dingy....

I was sooo excited to receive this Vintage Phone set as a gift from a cyber friend from Doodle Pantry.  The image is from Doodle Pantry.  Laurie has been doing some vintage scenes for the last several months which I adore. I also incorporated the Ant Accents...my "go-to" images. The cards are CAS but I wanted all the attention to go to the darling image.

I made 3 different card versions. I'm trying to make manly cards for an in-law to let him know my family is thinking of him especially during the next 6 weeks.  I will try to send a card every 5 days.

Each card has a different metal embellishment...miss you, friends, and hello

A2 vertical, manly, old punch, Friend tag, stitching, copic shading

A2 vertical,  neutral, just different ribbon and tag, copic shading

A2 vertical, feminine, copic shading

    These are precious! My first thought when I saw the title was of Lillie Tomlin as the phone operator saying "one-ringy-dingy". Too funny and definitely showing my age here! LOL! Love them all. The addition of the ants make them perfect!

    So fabulous! You already sold me on the doodle pantry sale yesterday - but I obviously missed this one! I too have been enjoying the new vintage images. LOL! Bean saw a 1960 car at HL and said "a vintage car. It must be from the 90's."

    Cely all 3 of these are adorable. I am trying to make lots of masculine birthday cards for deployed soldiers, so thank you for the inspiration!
