Bring the noise.

Morning All - I am hoping some of you may have arrived here via the first post from me on the Re-launched Dr Digi Facebook page (We have a challenge now and everything!!)
As you read this I will be in Chester as this weekend is my Hen do. We've stayed pretty local to be convenient to everyone but I have now idea what is planned for me but by the time this goes live - I will hopefully be in one piece and recovering!
For this weeks post I have used Dr Digi - Bring the Noise. It's such a fab image for those Old Rockers in your life!

I used My Minds Eye paper from Lime Twist range to cover a card base. I die cut the image and red mirri card using a My Favourite things die called Wonky stitched rectangle (Or something similar!?) I added another stripe of red mirri and attached to this grey letters from Doodlebug. I glued a Wooden guitar embellishment to the side and added a few Die cut music notes that are also from My Favourite Things.  I used silver pen to give the metal parts of the image a shine.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair & T-shirt - Warm Greys
Jacket & Boots -Ice grey
Jeans - Powder blue & Polar Blue
Speakers - Cool Greys
Guitar - Poppy & Ruby
Edge - Soft Lime & Primrose.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
The Crafty Addicts - Cards for men

Marks 40th birthday Card

Seems this year that a lot of friends turn 40 yrs (Not me by the way - I have a couple of years yet?!)This means I have to make extra special cards... and obviously no two can be the same! Each one has to be unique and personal. 

Below is one of the first... 

Mark turned 40 and he is wishing for a lovely new shiny guitar (At £2000 I think he will have to keep wishing for a while yet?!) So I made him one! I'm sure it a suitable alternative!!

I found a very plain shaped template of a general Guitar shape on the internet - I then adapted it and added all the additional shapes and buttons, along with the strings. I made the shapes from metallic red, a brushed metallic silver and a gloss black.I then stuck it all to a A5 card blank and cut around the outer edge so the whole card was Guitar shaped. I know the perspective is a bit out - Its a bit of a fat Guitar but that's artistic license! Honest!

All for now. Liz (:(|)x
