Party Like A Rock Star!

Check out this cutie from Di's Digi Downloads:    
"Big Sister Babs"

When I first saw this image I chuckled, because the first thought that came to my mind was "Rock On!  Party Like a Rock Star!"  LOL!  This gal is a flashback of my "Madonna/Cindy Lauper" days - Ooops!  Have I just dated myself?  Oh well.  But aaahhhh... those were some wild & crazy days!   >sigh!<  

Anywho, here's my wild & crazy creation...


This was really a different style for me, a little shabby, a bit distressed, kinda rascal-ly, yet girly & isn't that Babs cute?

Again, no DP was used on this project.  Instead, I created my own DP, using Stampin' Up! cardstock in Handsome Hunter, which I embossed with a brick wall Tim Holtz embossing folder, then mounted on silver metallic cardstock --- btw, have you tried the new electric Big Shot?  OMGosh!  It is sooooo da-bomb!  All you do is load your paper & embossing folder or die, or whatever, press the switch, and PLA-DANG!  I love the new electric Big Shot, especially when I have to cut a ga-zillion pieces of the same die! 

So aaanyway, I distressed the edges of the green cardstock then flicked a little distress ink in Tea Dye on the edges, and a few splotches here & there.  I found the perfect stamp for the background, "SPLAT!" by Recollections at Michael's, along with the bling, and a Studio G stamp set. 

I have also entered this card in the following challenges:
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #39 - Distressing
Totally Paper Crafts #23 - One For The Girls
One Stop Challenge #87 - Distressing
C.R.A.F.T Challenge #57 - Picture Inspiration: Purple & Green with Gems
Thanks for checking out my girl Babs.  Please leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by - I love hearing from you!

Have a great day!
