Brilliant Rock Star

I like the glow around this guitar player. It is electrifying! What do you think?

I stamped my image first on my Irresistibly Yours DSP. This paper has an emboss resist surface. If you do not have this you can make your own! 

I then added the watercolor wash on the background, avoiding the guitar player. This is why there is a glow around him. It did not take the panel long to dry.

Next, I stamped the groups of dots and stars randomly on the background. I then grabbed a paper towel and wiped the panel down. This allows the embossing to shine through.

I grabbed a few scraps of Perfect Plum and stamped my stars and sentiment. I then die cut them and adhered them onto my panel. I used regular adhesive, but you may want to think about using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered my layers together and added the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

This is a clean and simple (CAS) card for anyone: in a band, wishing to be in a band, or pretending to be in a band. It is a perfect card for anyone who enjoys music. You know that "alien" teenager...

Stamps:

   Extreme Guitar

   Layered Letters Alphabet

   Perpetual Birthday Calendar

Paper:

   Whisper White A-2

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Bermuda Bay

   Cajun Craze

   Cucumber Crush

   Daffodil Delight

   Rich Razzleberry

   Tip Top Taupe

   Watermelon Wonder

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   None

First, I stamped stars with Daffodil Delight and water spots or ink blots using the Tip Top Taupe. This covered the background for my card.

Next, I stamped the two Extreme Guitarist on the top right and bottom left corners using the Archival Basic Black ink.

Then I stamped "J" with Watermelon Wonder on the top left and "N" with Rich Razzleberry on the bottom right. This took care of the other two corners.  

I then stamped the second "M" with Archival Basic Black and lined it up with the two guitarist. (In retrospect, I should have just continued with the A and the I, and lastly evened out the two M's. Oh well, on the next card.)

I then stamped the "A" using Cajun Craze, the "I" using Bermuda Bay, and the first "M" using Cucumber Crush. 

You can easily add some bling to the card if you like. The occasion will be determined by the message written on the inside of the card by the sender.
