CQC #174 and RS #49

Hallooo!  I've been kind of AWOL on my blog lately.  Lost my mojo and been super busy.  I really love the newest Retro Sketches layout and particularly Kasia's card.

Plus Colour Q has obviously got me in mind with their latest colour palette [even though I'm too late]:

So, now that my mojo is on its way back, I thought I could combine the two challenges like so:

Supplies:  Card stock [Papertrey Ink, DCWV, Staples], Dies [Hearts Simon Says Stamp, Tag Taylored Expressions, Super Star border die], Twine [American Crafts], Font for tag [Pea cammi-pea from kevinandamanda.com.

Just in case it's hard to see, the brown/Early Espresso colour is the white and brown baker's twine.  Reaching...I know!
