Frantic Stamper Retro TV

Frantic Stamper Inc post today.

Remember when you used to get these coloured lines on the TV screen?  Yep I do.  I don't think you get them any more now programmes are broadcast 24/7.  Here in NZ when I was a child Television finished pretty early.  The last thing we saw was called goodnight kiwi.   The kiwi, who is the TV director yawns and wakes up the cat.  They walk through the studio. He turns off the power and puts out the milk bottle then climbs the stairs to the satelite dish, gets into bed with the cat and goes to sleep.   It was then the coloured lines would appear until the broadcast started the next day.  Its funny that this was what I thought off when I saw this little die and was what I used as my inspiration.

One of the things I love about Frantic Stamper dies, is the ability to cut multiple times to add lots of detail.  Each TV is cut at least 3 times to get the frame, screen and dials in different colours.  I chose my background paper first in lovely retro colours and matched my TV's.   I used the Stitched Scene Builder Edgers to cut the wavy edge before stamping a simple sentiment.

This is such a fun release that provoked some great memories.

Love the colors, the TV's and that wavy border is to die for! What a fun card.
I think your nightly sign off was far more interesting than over here. I hate to admit it but I remember when it was all black and white - no color TV at all, unlike those cute ones on your card.
