Rock On!

Hello there everyone!  Summer's here, and I've nearly got all of my gardens ready to plant.  I have lots of perennials, but I still need my annuals to keep things colourful.


Today I'm leaving the flowery cards behind and going with a masculine theme.  This digi image is called Max, and can be found at The Stamping Boutique.  It's perfect for those Rock Band fanatics, and I have a few of them in my family! 

For the layout, I've followed the sketch for this week's challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity, making only a few changes.

The image is coloured with Prismas and OMS, then cut out with the help of a Nestie die.

The papers are all from my stash, and I would like to think that the brown embossed piece resembles a door, while the punched black horizontal piece....maybe a stage.  The corners of the striped DP has been rolled for a little interest, and the only embellishments are three brads and a yellow button.

The ticket sentiments are from Just Inklined, and can be found here.

A number of fun challenges today....some for a card for a male, some for song inspiration, and some just because!  Be sure to give them a look, as I'm sure you will find some great ideas and inspiration.  Have fun!!
