Sometimes making a card in my studio feels like a big creative adventure ... I'm looking for one thing ... find something else ... and head off in a completely different direction.
I needed to make a masculine birthday card & was searching for some stamps when I stumbled upon some remaining guitar rub-ons. I used this black guitar as the starting point for my design with this week's CPS Sketch.
I pulled out a bin of my Basic Grey papers and pulled out several vintage patterns from the Obscure Collection. I wanted to add some music to the background, but my paper was taller than my Stampi' Up background stamp, so I inked it once and stamped over multiple times to get a grungy music feel.
I added an EAD Designs rub-on & sticker, together with a stamped & embossed sentiment from Stampers Anonymous by Wendy Vecchi. I added some adhesive black pearls to finish the design.
awesome masculine card!!!
