Sing Like No One's Listening

Everyone loves music and I think most of us know somebody who just loves to sing their heart out. Today's project for Visible Image is for all those people who enjoy just that!

I began my card with an inky background created with Dinkles powders in yello and orange tones. Using the Superstar stencil I lay the centre star down and blended distress inks around it.

I used tones that reflected stage lighting and gave some depth to the background.

I then lifted some ink with a splatter brush and water.

When dry, I stamped and embossed the music notes stamps, being careful to position them so that it they appeared to be coming from my singers mouth.

I then positioned her, using a stamping platform, and also created a mask for her dress as I wanted to stamp that in a different colour.

I inked her top and bottom half and heat embossed.

Next I carefully inked the dress in embossing ink and applied embossing glitter powder and melted it to give her a sparkly dress.

I then took the outer section of the Superstar stencil, and used a Versamark pen to go through the rays, being sure to go around the singer, and embossed in gold.

I also stamped and embossed the microphone in the corner. Some gel pen highlights helped make the whole thing pop , and I added the sentiment and mounted onto black card. A few sequins adhered with Glossy accents added some extra showbiz sparkle!
