I was inspired by the latest Loonie Stamper's Challenge - which is all about stars - to finally make a "You Rock" card for my guitar-playing, teenage son. Kim Hughes' set, Supah Star, has been on my want-to-play-with list for some time now and combined with this cute Colorbok "You Rock" sticker in my stash, I thought I had a fun combination to play along with the challenge. My layout was inspired by this great clean&simple sketch (here).
I stamped the guitar from Kim's set with Summer Sunrise ink on some BasicGrey "Recess" paper. The fun metal "string" is silver coil by Boxer which you can stretch into all kinds of fun, splashy accents. For added dimension, I placed the sticker on cardstock and then trimmed it out so I could pop it up with dimensional tape.
Supplies
Stamps: Supah Star (Cornish Heritage Farms Kim Hughes Collection)
Ink: Summer Sunrise (PaperTrey)
Cardstock: Pacific (SU!), Stamper's Select White (PaperTrey)
Patterned Paper: Recess (BasicGrey)
Other: Sticker (ColorBok), Silver Coil (Boxer), paper crimper (Fiskars), dimensional tape (3M)
P.S. These Loonie Stamper's are just the nicest bunch of talented ladies - and I have so enjoyed following their work, and playing along when I can. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh wow, this card rocks! Love the sparkle and the dimension! Wowsers, love it!
