you're my type of friend Vintage Typewriter Card

First time using my Hero Arts My Type, Vintage Typewriter, stamp and the Paper Studio Vintage Typewriter Keys scrapbook paper. Odd thing is that the Vintage Typewriter Keys scrapbook paper has all the alphabet A-Z and numbers 0-8. There's no number 9 on the scrapbook paper. Anyone else bought this scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby and noticed that.


Used Kraft brown cardstock as base of card. Stamped the typewriter first & then the sentiment "you're my type of friend" using Memento Tuxedo Black onto the core'dinations Weathered Tin cardstock. Distressed the edges of the Weathered Tin cardstock by hand tearing. Inked the edges of the Weathered Tin cardstock & Kraft caardstock with Tim Holtz Distress Ink black soot. Added the Paper Studio Vintage Typewriter Keys scrapbook paper to front & inside. Added vintage twine.
