OLW42 - music ....

... it's Jennifer's turn to host the One Layer Wednesday challenge this week - and I'm running late with my cards, as the deadline for entry is tomorrow!!  What Jennifer would like us to make is a one layer card with a musical theme - now she's not being strict - it can be musical notes, birds, anything so long as it relates to music!    There are some fabulous cards already entered - do have a look. 

Anyhow, I wanted to make a sort of grungy, teen type card - I love the Stampin' Up! guitar player (but can't get it in the UK - yet!) - so I decided to see what I could come up with.  And I'm quite pleased - I've done two versions of "You Rock!" and a small "note" card!!

Both started off as white A6 card blanks.  On the blue version above, I stamped the guitar and sentiment with versamark and then heat embossed with black gloss powder.  I over stamped these images with some musical staves from Waltzingmouse.  I coloured the body of the guitar and the stars on the sentiment with a blue Sakura stardust pen.  Finally, I sprayed Cosmic Shimmer Mist over the whole card.  The result is a very grungy, but sparkly card!

Stamps:  Inkadinkadoo - Rockstar;  Waltzingmouse - Muscial Backgrounds
Inks:  Versamark;   Memento - London Fog
Accessories:  Embossing powder - black gloss;  Cosmic Shimmer Mist - Silver

In the card above, I stamped the guitar and sentiment in Brilliance Graphite Black and then heat embossed with clear gloss.  This time I added colour with twinkling H2Os - selecting a bright red.  Finally, I sprayed with Cosmic Shimmer Mist - but a much lighter application.  Resulting in a cleaner, less grungy card.

Inks:  Brilliance - Graphite Black
Accessories:  Embossing powder - Detail Clear;  Cosmic Shimmer Mist - Ancient Copper;  Twinkling H2Os

The next card is just a small one - a little 3" × 3" card from Papermania.  I made a square mask from a post-it note.  I stamped the WM musical background into the square, but did it at any angle.  I added a single musical note in the centre of the stamped music and a simple sentiment.  Really like this one!  Please note, this is a white card - on a blue backing sheet so that you can see the scalloped border on the car.

I didn't get into my craft room yesterday, and I didn't get to craft class this morning.  I found out late yesterday that Kathryn wasn't back to school this morning.  She's back tomorrow!!!  The teachers are having a training day today.  So my plans for a crafty day today have been a bit curtailed!!  Instead, Kathryn and I went to have our Visa photos taken (they're awful), we bought some new school shoes and had a nice lunch out!  Actually, it's been fun!  Kathryn's been having a music session on the Wii and I managed to get the cards above made. 

Before I go, I must say Hello and welcome to two new followers - Deb and Carol - so nice of you to join me! 

Hopefully, I'll get back on track with challenges from tomorrow!!  See you then.
