Good Vibrations


Well, finally some cooler weather! Now I have a choice, crafting or gardening, hmmm... But first I will post this card.

First of all, the layout. Once again I have used Priscilla Style's Midnight Madness sketch as seen here. I have used the CAS version, but have added extra bling.

Next the image. I have finally taken the plunge and worked up one of Kenny K's images for this week's challenge of Music. I have used my Prisma pencils, then glitter and glossy accents.

The image is cut out and then attached to a mat cut with a Nestibilities die. The mat is first inked with green and purple distress inks, then accented with perfect pearls, and finally edged with green glitter. I really wanted the shine, but with a funky look!

I finished it off with some silver metallic card, a starburst cluster of beads, a few die cut flourishes and some green gems. The result is very different from my regular card style.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
The Stampman Challenge which also has a Musical theme
Craftalicious Challenge - Purple and Green
Crafty Cardmakers Spotlight Challenge - Glitter and Sparkle
Crafty Catz 3-2-1 recipe challenge (3 embellishments, 2 papers, 1 image)
