A rocking birthday

This is my second post today. If you are looking for my Country View Challenges post you can find it here

So 2 posts on my birthday, who would believe it! Thanks so much for coming back. 

For my Visible Image Monday design team I made something inspired by some of the bands I loved as a teenager...Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Alice Cooper....yes you get the picture I was quite a heavy rocker. It seemed just the right thing to be celebrating on my birthday.

I wanted to do something very different with the new release stamps and combine them with a couple of other existing sets. 

These are the stamp sets I used with links to the website;

You are not alone

 Live life now

 and wings of change

I have also been having fun making Gelli prints using the

entwined butterflies stencil

This is what I got up to. I used red and black acryllic paint and pulled a print.

I then stamped the inky butterfly from live life now.

On a piece of card I red embossed the sentiment in this set and also one from "We are not alone". 

I stamped and embossed some of the medium butterflies onto black and white card and one large one onto white card. I added a hint of colour to this butterfly.

I red embossed the hands and cut the fingers a little to enable them to "hold" the largest butterfly from wings of change. In real life this is all very dimensional

I then put my card together.

Some close ups;

and one last shot

Well that's me done for today. I am being taken out to celebrate by my dear Hb.
