I hope you are enjoying all the guys themed goodies so far! Today we are showcasing Background Basics Lines and Guitars. For my first card I did a lot of heat embossing...the entire background! I stamped two different lines and embossed along the way, first in the blue and then layered over what was already embossed with silver. Then I embossed the guitar in silver, fussy cut it and added one of the two picks in the set and a sentiment from Guy Sentiments. To get my banner a different color I just stamped that portion again and fussy cut it to layer it on top. My second card uses the same sets, but this time I left out a guitar and instead wanted to showcase the two fabulous splatter/splotch mark stamps! For my lines I drew pencils line first, trying to keep them parallel. I didn't do the most perfect job, but it gets the point across :) I also went for an ombre look. My main panel was cut using Fancy Labels 1 and I used the negative portion stamping my sentiment directly onto my card base. This sentiment is from the new Guy Sentiments set. I added the splatter stamps in a light grey and kraft color and then stamped and cut out two arrows from last month's Arrows set. Finally, to get the texture on my kraft piece and my matting I used a distress wheel tool I've had forever and now love after discovering it could do this :)

Awesome cards, Leah! Love that embossed guitar!!!
OMG, these are FABULOUS, Leah! LOVE all the embossing on the first one and the accents of red. And your lines look razor sharp and straight to me! Love how you put the sentiment through the die cut negative on the second card and how you used the splats and splatters. These cards are fantastic!
Wow! AWESOME embossing of your perfectly straight lines :)
