This card was inspired by the Grunge Rock set, which I bought last Spring while it was on promotion and am sorry to admit it has only seen ink a couple of times. I first decided to use the guitar image, so I inked it with markers in various colours and then added some clear embossing on top.
Tip: The trick to embossed an image that has been colored with markers or Classic ink is to stamp your image and leave the stamp down on your paper. Then, before, removing it, you place the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig's placement guide in the corner of your stamp, lift it up without moving the SAMJ and you wash your stamp, then reink it in Versamark. Using the SAMJ and the corner of your stamp as a guide, overstamp the image in Versamark over your original one and add the clear embossing powder. Cool, huh?
The argyle design was stamped in Versamark on a piece of Wild Wasabi polka dot paper and embossed in Pewter powder. I had the Music Notes wheel out on my desk from another project and thought it would pair up nicely with the guitar. I know some of you unmount your wheels - I've done it myself with a couple of designs - but I have to say that here, using a wheel worked out in my favor, since it allowed me to give the music score some movement. I made sure to move the wheel up and down my paper while rolling. The music notes were also embossed with the Pewter powder.
The bottom of the designer paper was scuffed with the side of my paper folder and rolled up a bit. The paper and cardstock were sprayed with the air tool and a marker, and I added a row of Champagne glass glitter held in place with Sticky strip.
The sentiment was pulled from the Voeux multiples hostess set and stamped in Early Espresso.
