It's time for another Snarky Challenge over at the Sisterhood. Our theme for this fortnight is
Q is for QUEEN
and Sistah Lee totally outdid herself with our graphic.
I am a HUGE fan of Freddie and Queen so this makes my heart so happy. Would you believe I still own my original 45 rpm vinyl of We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions from my high school years? I also have several CDs and routinely watch the Live Aid Concert on YouTube whenever I feel the need for a Freddie Fix. Yep. I am that geek. :-)
My card isn't nearly as interesting as Lee's graphic but here's what I came up with for Queen.
I went the crown route and thought this Art Impressions biddy's hat was perfect. I had to create my own computer generated sentiment but I love getting more mileage from my stamps.
I stamped, colored and then fussy cut my image, adding some polka dots to her dress and some shimmer to her accessories. I did a bit of tone on tone stenciling to the wall behind her and die cut the floor using some patterned paper from my stash. I used a speech bubble die for my sentiment and added in my customary blingage at the end. (Blingage...look it up. ROFL!)
I will be using this as a birthday card for some lucky friend of mine. :-)
Supplies:
Art Impressions - Birthday Hat stamp set
Penny Black - Wood Floors die set
Altenew - Beveled Squares stencil
Altenew - Speech Bubble die
Studio Katia - Iridescent Bubbles
Copic markers
It's a New Year! Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends. _____________________________________________________________________________
