Isn't it funny when something just clicks in your head. That is what happened to me when I saw the colour challenge at Colour Throwdown and the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. I knew what stamp set I wanted and how I wanted to do it, now these thoughts came to me a few days ago and it is only tonight right at the end of the weekend that I got to sit down and actually put them to paper.
Here is my card, I knew these colours would go great together all mashed in together so I made the back ground with Extreme Elements, and then used Grunge Rock for the guitar and sentiment. I purposefully stamped the Happy Birthday as two separate words and was aiming for them to look a bit more off centre and at an angle to each other, but happy with how they turned out. If I had a teen in mind for this card I would add some die cut numbers in Cherry Cobbler or Night of Navy to the background rectangle.
Thanks for stopping by.
Super funky, Monique! I took one look at that colour combo ... and ran a mile! You have treated it with respect and come up with something brilliant! Hugs xxx
