Good Morning.
Meet today's card inspired by the challenge at Splitcoast Stampers this morning; to create a card using your birthstone colour. Fun, right?
Since my birthday is January 1st, (yes, I'm a New Year's baby) so my colour is Garnet. For those of you that don't know, Garnet is a deep shade of red.
So onto my card. I do love playing around with my Distress Oxide inks. I did some acetate inking along the side of my card front using Fired Brick and Candied apple DOX ink. To see a pictorial of this technique go HERE.
Next, I took out my Circles Make Circles stencil and added some stenciling along the side of my card using more of the Fired Brick. Next I randomly inked up my Graffiti stamp and pressed that over the inked area just to add some more interest and texture.
I placed the piece inside my Misti and stamped the sentiment and the silhouette and clear heat embossed to help make them pop against the bkg.
I mounted the piece onto some black cardstock then onto a plain white card base.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Such a striking combination of colours, stencilling and stamping on that glorious background and all set off with the fabulous silhouette x Garnet is such a rich and beautiful colour x
Another gorgeous card again Karen, loving your clever background of course and the bold figure and sentiment look just perfect too ;) hugs Viv xx
Great masculine card, Karen! Love the vibrant red with the stenciling and stamping on it!
I love the two reds together and the background stamping and stencilling looks great with that fantastic silhouette rock musician and the large stamped sentiment in black which make a wonderful contrast to the red and white. x
A great card, Karen! It looks a bit like he’s painting the wall while he plays guitar. I like that. Very cool background for his actions.
This is such a great guy card, Karen! Love the red and the three techniques that add up to wonderful interest and dimension!
perfect masculine card, love the bold red and black :)
Amazing background, love the colours with the black silhouette. Such a great masculine card, thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x
My birthstone is a garnet too. Great background inking and stencilling and a fabulous image. I know a few boys that would be pleased to get a card like this. Thanks for playing at The Male Room, hope to see you joining in with future challenges too.
Fabulous male card, Karen! I love the red stencilled and stamp background for the silhouette stamp. Both my sons are guitarists, so I may have to get that stamp! Thanks for playing along at Seize The Birthday :)
Perfect masculine card! Love the bold colors.
LOVE this card Karen. The grundy, mixed media strip is just perfect with the guitar-playing silhouette! Awesome card! xx
