Hello! My brief for today's post at Visible Image is Masculine Birthday. I decided to use Grunge Birthday Words for my background and Rock Out for my main image.
I picked out a mop-up piece from my stash and stamped the large Grunge Birthday Words in Versafine Onyx Black.
Then I stamped the rock star straight onto the panel, again using Versafine Onyx Black.
I decided not to use a Happy Birthday sentiment - it's pretty obvious from the background that it's a birthday card, so to break up that background I stamped the 'Rock Out' sentiment on black card using Versamark Ink and Stampendous white embossing powder.
I wanted the hand coming in from the side, so I stamped that and watercoloured it with Tea Dye Distress Ink.
For the base card, I stamped the stars all the way round the edges to create a border.
Then it was a case of sticking everything down. First, I adhered the hand at an angle.
Then I adhered the 'Rock Out' sentiment on an angle to resemble a 'sold out' label slapped on a poster.
That was all matted onto gold card, then onto the base card.
And there you have my funky masculine card. Stamps available here at Visible Image - check out the full range!
