I loved the card design that I came up with so much, that I made two more cards using it! Check out my post from yesterday, to see more info on the design.
I also colored the guitar over a few times with a Clear Wink of Stella pen. I love that shimmer! I had to use the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to fit behind the guitar neck. I'm glad I had them - they fit perfectly.
The second card that I made today was a Congratulations card. For this one, I didn't want to emboss the front of the card. Instead, I wanted a graffiti kind of look with lots of words. I layed out all the words on the card front, using my Stamparatus. Then I was able to ink them all up and stamp once, all at the same time. I used Island Indigo ink on the Island Indigo card stock. It looks dark because I did stamp it twice.
In addition to a 1/4 sheet of Basic Black behind the front flap, I also taped a line of the Silver/Black Metallic ribbon on there. You can just see a sliver of the silver peeking out.
For this one, I also didn't have one focal image. I wanted a bunch of stars. I used 3 different size star punches, and 3 different papers - black card stock, Silver shimmer paper, and some old shiny silver foil card stock (it's a little duller than the current Silver Foil).
I did emboss the 2 1/2" circle piece with an old Stars embossing folder, then I went over each raised up star and colored in with the Clear Wink of Stella pen.
All of the words on this card came from one stamp set. It's called Bravo, and is retired. I just tracked it down a couple of weeks ago, and it was perfect for this card.
I hope you are inspired to make some cards like this!
