Pour Some Sugar On Me....

I managed to find some time to play with my stamps between Christmas and New Year when I had a break from making commission cards and DT work.

I absolutely love Vera Lane Studio images and had an idea for this Tea Time image for a while but hadn't had time to make it.

As a rockchick I absolutely love Def Leppard and my blog title is in reference to one of their songs.

One of the lines from the song is...."do you take sugar? .....one lump or two?"

 

Perfect for my idea with the image.

I inked my card with Distress Oxides and sponged through a doily with white gesso. I adhered a paper doily offset on the left and trimmed it down.

I coloured the image with my copic markers to kind of look like me, ( I have purple hair, blue eyes, and wear a lot of black) and decoupaged her teacup to add some dimension, and layered her on top of the doily.

I stamped the Drink Tea sentiments a few times over the card base and doodled around the edge with a black fineliner.

I coloured the teapot from the Wonderland Accessory bundle and mounted it with 3D foam. I printed out the words from the song in Word and added a curve. 

I used 3D foam pads to stick it to the card and make it look like it was pouring from the teapot.

I think it will be getting framed and hung in the Crafty Cabin. Something to keep for myself for a change!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Saturday and another new challenge at

Sweet Stampin'

 

This week the theme from Team Abi is 

Inspired By A Song

For my card I've used this sweet digi stamp from Time For Tea Designs called "Hugs"

The song I've chosen for my inspiration is from my favourite boy band...Def Leppard (and the reason for my blog title) called Miss You In A Heartbeat. I wanted to give her a funky rockchick look so coloured her hair with some red in it. I stamped the wings and heat embossed them in white and added the fab heart button. The words were cut on my ScanNCut.

Rockchick Card And Rockchick Night

Before I post pictures from the Def Leppard/Whitesnake concert last night I thought I'd show you a card I made for a good friend from one of the Rockchick doodles Kerry (curlygirlyme) sent to me when she sent me my card.
I used a Black and Teal blue colour combination.Black cardstock matted with Basic Grey Two Scoops teal coloured paper.I then used some black lace edged with teal and fixed it to the card using DST and black eyelets (don't ask where the lace was from!.....lol).The rock paper is by Crate and I ripped it to shape the card on either side.As the lace was a pain to stay stuck I decided to set more eyelets and making it lace up the front using teal ribbon.The stamped sentiment is from Studio G but I went over it with a black Sakura glaze pen.The red rose rub on was from a set I had (can't remember who by).The top right corner I've threaded teal ribbon through the eyelets and added a Dovecraft fancy brad but changed the central brad to a Papermania teal coloured pearl brad to match the colours as it was originally pink. I then added some pearls and teal ribbon under it. Kerry's rockchick doodle I coloured with my Prismacolor pencils and added some Papermania clear gems to the studded belt.I also used my Sakura black glaze pen on the beads.
The card was made as a thank you for a lovely,kind,generous deed done by a good pal.

Well what can I say about the Def Leppard/Whitesnake concert but WOW,WOW,WOW!. What a fantastic night.I was standing in the 3rd row from the stage slightly to the right so I could get a good view of David Coverdale and Doug Aldrich from Whitesnake and Joe Elliott from Def Leppard.(great eye candy!...lol) Whitesnake were on first and David Coverdale just played the crowd magnificently, especially the women. I have to say he totally made my night on two occasions.During the first track I got eye contact with him and blew him a kiss and he blew one back...swoonnnnnnnnnn....pmsl. Then nearer the end again I got eye contact and was blowing kisses with both hands and he responded again.....wooooooooooooo. No luck from Joe though....sniff.Def Leppard were excellent too though despite no kisses from Joe....pmsl.Was a fabulous night.My feet were sore,voice was hoarse and my hands were bruised from clapping,but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I've got a few pictures to post but will post better ones later as my friend had a better resolution camera so took most of the pictures.














Lastly I'd just like to say thanks to Beautifullily for the lovely blog candy of lace she had and that I can't believe I won. So many thanks for that.It's beautiful.

Tonight's The Night

Yeahhhhhh......I'm off to see Def Leppard and Whitesnake at the SECC. I'm so looking forward to this concert.I saw Whitesnake 2 years ago and they were fantastic,but it was way back in 2003 I last saw Def Leppard. They played twice in Scotland. Glasgow in the February and October in Edinburgh. I went to the Glasgow show and I was pregnant at the time with Louis (no wonder he loves rock music!) I missed the October show though as I'd just had Louis in the September.So I'm really,really looking forward to seeing Def Leppard again.
I might just do another wee dance as I'm so excited. Can you tell?.....lol

So in the words of the two fabby bands......."Let's Get Rocked In The Still Of The Night"

Well here goes for the first of my layouts. I'm not uploading them in the order I did them as I can't remember. Seeing as it's a blog about my love of crafting and of rock music,I'll start with two layouts I did for fun as a sort of tribute to two of my favourite bands.They both kind of speak for themselves. A few people have commented to me before that they recognise my style. I didn't realise I had a style! Probably cluttered I think as when I try to do simple layouts they never look finished. Hope you like them. I've been so happy as they both announced a joint tour in the UK this year,so my tickets for June 17th at the SECC are now in my possession. Joe Elliott and David Coverdale in one room....yippeeeeee!!
