Rock on!!

So. Ha! I am a bad blogger. Yeah, yeah. I know. But...I have two fantastic cards to showcase today to make up for it! I promise.

I decided to make a Birthday card for my wonderful friend, Cindy, who is a die-hard Iron Maiden fan (okay, she loves Bruce Dickinson) and I went all out with this card to make it extra special for her:

















The inside ------->








This one has so many elements it's crazy! Some Cuttlebugged metallic paper, Inkadinkadoo guitar stamp, rhinestones, metallic stick-on brads, metallic & "leather" papers from Paper Temptress and Image of Bruce Dickinson. I think there's more, but it's hard to remember. Ha!

THEN, I got inspired! I said to myself, "Self, I should make a Rush card!!" After all they are MY favorite band and I was in the rock n' roll music state of mind, so I made THIS card (just because):




The Rush card I had to take the Red Star image off the 'net, but it was the perfect size to print up on my c/s. The letters are chipboard and hand-glittered using heat & stick powder and Martha Stewart glitter (the purple is a mix of purple & black to get it the right color). I also used a background stamp which I embossed to try to get the starry night kind of effect. Not exactly the album cover, but I loved how it turned out anyway.

Hope these cards inspire you to ROCK ON!!!
