Think Monday Think ATC - Rock Music


This week's theme on Think Monday Think ATC is rock music. Despite the fact that I am a big rock fan, I have got no stamps, images or anything else in my ATC stash relating to rock music, so I had to improvise with this one!
I created the background using a leopard print stamp, first inking the card in bright colours, then stamping the background in Versamark and clear embossing it. I then painted over it in black acrylic, left it to dry, put a piece of paper over the top and ironed off the embossed image. I really wanted to use a silhouette for my main image but struggled to find one that was just right, so I found an image of a guitar player, coloured over it with a black Sharpie and cut it out. The word "rock" was typed in Word and printed out, then I inked it, cut out the letters and mounted them on black. I added a chipboard star which I inked to match the background and some bright coloured gems.

I think some of the best art comes out when we have to improvise. It certainly holds true for your ATC.

Wonderful improvising and your color choice is bold and exciting to the eye. Well done. Have a nice night.

I scanned over your other images and it appears you are a talented artist. I love what I'm seeing here. I hope to visit again soon.
