When one of our Vice-Presidents recently retired from work, he had several "vintage" rate books in his desk that predated calculators and spreadsheets. I immediatley said "I'll take them" thinking the rows of rates and numbers would make great backgrounds for masculine designs.
That little find turned out to be rather serendipitous, since the March theme at Gingersnap Creations is Work. I used the Vintage Rate Book as the background for a birthday card for a Co-Worker.
I stamped over the ratebook page with Hero Arts Envelope Pattern in Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. I was going to add flourishes to the blank space, but somehow Tim Holtz Gadget Gears seemed more appropriate since staring at financial numbers all day will certainly keep the gears spinning in your brain.
The sentiment is an oldy, but a favorite from Stampin' Up. Papers are the new Moulan Rouge Collection from Prima.
You have a great collection of sentiment stamps, love your colors here.
The colours are great, and the sentiment works so well.
Wonderful card! I’m lovin’ those gears!
Great quote. Love the gears.
