BC160 - Rockin Instrumental

Hello and Happy Friday! - What a busy week.  So are you ready for the Blogger Challenge for this week.  Yep, it's a "Sketch" challenge.  Our "List Mom" Lisa gave us this great sketch to work with.                                                  For my card I decided to use one of the last new release sets from Annabelle Stamps called, "Rockin Instrumental" for my card.

I chose some really fun and bright patterned paper (My Minds Eye - Love Me Do) as the starting point for my card.  I stamped the Drums with Memento Tuxedo black ink and water colored them with ink pads and an Aqua Painter.  For the middle element I used the Musical score from the stamp set and stamped it repeatedly on Whisper White card stock.  I added photo corners (EK success) Chili Sprinkles (Annabelle Stamps) and stamped the sentiment on the opposite side of the DP with black ink.  All images mounted with foam mounting tape.

Card Stock: Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Crushed Curry.

Stop by the other BC Members blogs and see what they did with this sketch.

Don't forget that Annabelle stamps is releasing new sets this week and next and you have a chance to win them by visiting the DT members blogs and leaving a comment for your chance to win.  This set isn't up for grabs but there will be a new set previewed tomorrow night so check back to see what you could win.

Hello! - Guess what it's time for another "Sneak Peek" of one of the upcoming stamp sets from Annabelle Stamps These stamps will be available to purchase on June 28th.                                    In the meantime Andrea and the other DT members are showcasing each stamp set (There are 4 available this month) and offering you a chance to WIN one of the sets.  It's really easy, all you have to do is stop by each DT members blog and find who has the next "sneak peek" picture on their blog and then hop back to the Annabelle Blog and leave a comment stating the name of the person who has the sneak peek picture on their blog.  You only have a limited 2 day period to get your guess in so don't delay.

Today's preview features an awesome stamp set called, "Rockin Instrumental."  I love this set.  I'm a huge music lover (especially Classic Rock) so this set was right up my alley. 

I absolutely love combing the colors: Black/White together.  They always look so striking so I went with that for my color scheme.  I altered a sketch I found in the latest "Go To Sketches" magazine to fit my card idea.  I followed the basic sketch but added the second smaller circle element.

I embossed the Guitar and the Sentiment using Black and White Embossing Powder.

My paper are from SEI (Eerie Alley) which is the wavy black/white piece and an unknown source on the black dotted piece. (Part of my scrap stash).

One of the things that I loved about this set was the addition of the Musical Notes. Don't they look fun on my card!

Other items used: Black/White Ribbon (American Crafts), Black Currant Sprinkles and White Pearls - Both are available from Annabelle Stamps.  - If you've never tried the Sprinkles you should order some.  They are fabulous. Not to be confused with Dew Drops since the Sprinkles have a metallic background that makes them really shimmer and shine.
