RETRO GIRL

 Hi all today my card features a digital image that I ,unfortunately, don't know whose it is so if you if she looks familiar to you please let me know.
She has the iconic retro  'Beehive' hairdo that I remember so well all that back combing, all the girl singers seemed to have the style I think the one I remember most for the back combed hair is Dusty Springfield I wonder who you might remember, that's if you were around then, lol.
I coloured her with Spectrum and Nuvo markers the papers are from my stash I added a stamped ticket sentiment and some die cut flowers, pearls and punched butterflies.


I would like to enter the following challenges:
Many thanks for popping by
hugs

Lovely retro inspired design Lorraine, love the colours and flower shape. The image is beautiful and superbly coloured...could be Lemon Shortbread? I well remember Dusty Springfield and the backcombed hair, those were the days! Never sported the hairdos- I was a bit too young for that but oh, the music we enjoyed! xx

What a sweet birthday card with the flowers and butterflies and I too love that hairstyle. I remember Dusty well and I can still hear her singing Son of a Preacher Man!

I remember that hairstyle, I had it too when I was a teenager :D but I think was a refresh of the trend, because I was born in the early 60s.
However, the girl on your card is so beautiful and has cat eyes :) Amazing colouring especially on the hair, and the whole design is fabulous!

It is nice to have a little trip down memory lane now and again. Love the flowers and butterflies on this one xx

She definitely reminds me of the Groovy 60's or early 70's. I remember those long floral scarfs worn in the hair were all the rage. Fun card, Thanks for joining us at The Inspiration Station Challenge and please share again soon.

A great card - that hair-do - I must admit to a little back combing still - just a little....! Amy Winehouse is my most remembered queen of back-combing.... Thank you for joining us at The Alphabet Challenge xx Lynda/Loopyloo DT
