Father's Day cards are on today's agenda. Since I have several fathers in my life who love music, I decided to make several cards centered around these great Rock Star Glitter rub-ons from Paper House Productions (that I picked-up at Hobby Lobby some time ago).
The first one uses this week's Saturday Sketch and papers from Bo Bunny's Blast Off 6×6" pad. Sentiment is Papertrey Ink's Signature Greetings.
I thought the silver string rminded me of guitar strings. I flipped the sketch and put it across the top, so it would cover less of the guitar image.
For the second one I decided to break-out some vintage sheet music and use this week's CardPatterns Sketch.
For my center element, I found a piece of watercolor paper in my scrap basket that I had tried painting with Twinkling H2O paint at one time (and had failed in the look I wanted, but knew that some day it might find a home).
I sprayed the paper with multiple colors of mists including Bronze Glimmer Mist for an all-over sparkle (for the Simon Stamps Sparkle & Shine Challenge) and Walnut ink. Next I stamped it with Hero Arts Woodgrain background in Black Soot Distress Ink. After I cut out my oval, I sponged with several more inks. I wanted it to look like the woodgrain of a well-loved guitar. Here's a close-up.
I finished with some Pebbles Real Life Label Stickers.
