All Shook Up

Here’s my card for this week’s Kraftin’ Kimmie challenge to use text on your creation. I stretched things a bit by using a bit of sheet music I downloaded from the internet and printed off—it doesn’t have words per se, but it does have a form of text! I had to have music to go with the great Moonlight Whispers Patsy image I used along with this week’s CPS sketch.

I colored Patsy with Copic markers and cut her out. It’s hard to see in the photo, but I covered the lenses in her glasses with a clear Stardust pen for a fun sparkle. She’s set on a paper doily that I added the aforementioned sheet music circle to after inking its edges with some pink ink.

Since the image is so large, I left the rest of the card pretty simple. I covered most of the cardfront with an aqua paper with cream dots, machine stitching around the edges to add interest. A darker aqua strip runs across the center of the cardfront with a piece of pink ribbon layered over that. After putting the doily in place, I used my stamp positioner to add the “I’m all shook up” sentiment in the card’s lower right corner. Too fun!
