Graceland

After being super immersed in a floral stamping wonderland for the past week, I thought it was time to change things up around here.  I have some Elvis release designs to share with you today and this time the feature is on Graceland! I created a couple cards  to share with you but for all you Elvis fans, these stamps would also look fabulous on layouts.

Glittered Graceland

For this design I added a Clear Card Sheet overlay. The Graceland Gates are stamped on top of the Card Sheet for a dimensional look. Underneath on the Scrapblock paper, I stamped the Aged Sheet Music Scrapblock™. I know, I know….you’ve seen it a lot but I just can’t seem to put it down. What is a celebration without music?! My oval panel is stamped and then cut and embossed with my Spellbinders dies. If you leave your die in place, it makes a fabulous mask for airbrushing leaving the perfect border. I thought Graceland needed a little bling, so I highlighted the word with my Sakura glue pen and some Glitter. I just had to add a little more embellishment and when I think Elvis, I think black velvet. A quick little black velvet tie finishes off the design.

This is a simple design. I had fun adding interest with this beautiful Basic Grey paper to add a rich look.

Quick Tip: Cut die cut shapes…in this case Labels 2 from Spellbinders, to come up with a different look.

Have a fabulous day!
