OK, it's my turn. I am the "bad girl" at this Tea Party. I know everyone else will be here with their nicey-nice beach stuff and here I am brooding in the corner like an Avril Lavigne has-been with this card. Let me explain... when I make a card for someone, I really try to put myself in their shoes, think what they think (or at least how...). I read Joanne's description of Anthony and I kept getting visions of Linkin Park - intense, cerebral, a bit dark on the surface but musically phenomenal. I won't take any cookies nor drink any tea (you're probably afraid that I'll smash the cups anyway). I'll just have fun watching you have fun and maybe write a song about it someday...
Stamped the guitar image from Perfectly Clear stamps Rock Out in platinum shimmer paint repeatedly and quickly embossed with faded jeans distress EP and a touch of glass glitter. Tore & distressed a piece of Marina Mist CS, sponged shimmer paint around the edges, stamped with sanded in Tuxedo black and embossed with TH EF, Ripped and shimmered orange CS then randomly "smashed" with shimmer paint. Stamped the drum kit in Desert Sand (you can't see it but it is right in the center of the orange panel), then the sentiment in Tuxedo black. Mounted all on a Marina Mist card. PT - resting If you haven't already, please play along at the Teapot Tuesday party for young Anthony: MMTPT146 ~ I CAN'T GET THE TWANG! THIS MUSIC'S TOO SLOW! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
Thank you so much for looking. I'll try not to be so rebellious next time. Have a peaceful day.

Well, Ms "Rebel", I think your card ROCKS, and will probably be in Anthony's FAVORITE PILE out of all the cards he gets from the teaparty!! Love that you went into HIS shoes to figure out what to do - what a fantastic job you did - AWESOME!!

I started out with a guitar stamp as well but there on my desk was a beach stamp I hadn't put away yet and it won out. You've made me think I should get out that guitar and try it out anyway. Thanks so much for the huge compliment yesterday.
Cheers, Elizabeth
