This card finishes off my birthday set. If you didn't see them already, check out the box that I made to hold everything, and the pocket/gift certificate card that goes inside with this card.
I know this background is very busy, but I think the grungy look matches what I was going for. I stayed with the three colors that I used throughout the project - Real Red, Pacific Point, and Basic Black.
In addition to the busy background, I stamped some shoes and the guitar and colored them in with Brusho Colour Crystals. I tapped some of each color crystals on a clear block and added 2 or 3 drops of water from my Aqua painter. Used it like a paint palette. Color them in and heat set to dry quicker, then hand-cut them.
My focal point is a medallion made using the Everyday Label punch. Stamp and punch out the greeting, then punch out a piece of Real Red with the same Everyday Label punch. Criss-cross them and attach to each other.
I added a bigger flatted Soda Pop Top (from a long time ago) to the upper right corner. I flattened it out, then stamped the Epic Celebration greeting in Tuxedo Black and punched out with a 1" circle punch. The bottom words wouldn't fit in the punch, so I stamped them again on Real Red cardstock, hand-cut, then stuck that teeny tiny piece on top of the bottle.
The guitar got some glitz with a Wink of Stella clear pen, and then I added 2 silver metallic enamel stars.
I hope you like it!
