CASology Challenge #250


Hi there blog friends,
I'm playing along with one of my favorite challenges again ~ CASology Challenge #250 and this week the cue card is ‘Loud’!


For me it was a no-brainer...my PTI electric guitar is the loudest stamp in my stash :)
I started by creating a mask and inking the circle with Shaded Lilac DI and die cut the panel with MFT's Wonky Rectangle die. I stamped all of the images with Versafine, then sprinkled clear EP on the musical notes and sentiment for shine.

*** Initially, I had a hard time getting a crisp image on the guitar...Here are a few tips:
I cleaned the stamp with Hero Arts Ultra Clean, dried it and rubbed it down with my white eraser. Then, I used a fine sanding block, brushed it off with a stamp scrubber and cleaned it with my Shammy...Voila! A clean, crisp image!

I'll be back tomorrow with my ATCAS DT card...hope to see you then. Wishing you all a great weekend ~ Thanks so much for stopping by,

Love this card. Yes, you really nailed the 'loud'. I feel like I can hear the music already. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.

With an electric guitar playing son I really don't know why I don't own this set! Perfect card for our CASology challenge this week - thanks for playing along, Barb!

Jacquie's comment was exactly what i was about to write! My youngest son has been playing the guitar for years and got a nice electric guitar for his birthday last October (he already had an amp)...I have listened to his loud music every day since then! Luckily he's pretty good so I dont mind listening to him play, but it is LOUD! (Did I mention my other son plays the drums? Another LOUD instrument!) Ah, your card captures CAS and the cue perfectly! Great color and design. Thanks for joining us at CASology!

Such a fun card! The electric guitar is perfect for the cue word and framing it in the sponged circle is a fabulous way to showcase it.

Cool and funky, Barb ... love how you blended the background to make the area around the guitar lighter ... such great detailing! Hugs, Anita :)

Love the contrast of soft color and loudness of the rock/ guitar theme Barb!
Thank you so much for joining us at Casology this week!

Prefect embodiment of the theme Barb, and thanks for sharing the stamp spiffing up routine.
