Card Art with Copics: Kenny K's ElenaK

This fabulously fun young lady dances her heart out while she plays her tambourine.  She is a rubberstamp image, named ElenaK of the Rock Squad Collection, designed by Kenny Kiernan for Whimsy Stamps.  You can get your own ElenaK at the Whimsy Stamps online shop here.

This photo shows my Copic-filled image entertaining everyone who watches and listens.

Creative Imaginations Feel the Rhythm double-sided patterned paper, layered with Bazzill cardstock forms my easel card.  My image is shaped and matted with Lifestyle Crafts Large Circle die cuts.  A very old (like maybe 8 years old!  I was surprised that it still worked! LOL!!!)  Jo-Ann Essentials Word Stamp contained the perfect words that reminded me of a favorite song called The Best of Times by Styx.  Strips of Michael's light blue Rhinestone Stickers border two sides of my card cover and base.  K&Company Christmas Cheer Adhesive Gems are aligned in the opposite corners.  Handmade accent daisies are easily coordinated when I use Punch Bunch punches in small, medium and large daisies and birch leaves with a mini sun.  Each flower is lightly painted with Star Dust Stickles for amazing sparkle.  McGill's pine branch punches provide nice, sparkly filler.  Bits of My Favorite Things Die-namics Fancy Flourishes cut from gold cardstock provide glamorous movement throughout.

 

This photo shows the front of my card, displaying Kenny K's ElenaK . . .

The base is decorated to match the front.  I've added a sentiment from a Hero Arts clear Huge Hugs set.  QuicKutz Revolution Rockstar Outfits dies provided a great drum set and guitar that I paper-pieced with gold mirror paper for more dimension.  A Lifestyle Crafts Doodles cookie cutter set provided the perfect You Rock die cut embellishment.

This pic shows how my easel card looks when open and ready for display . . . This card was so much fun for me to work on that I feel a bit sad that I have to call it done.  Odd, huh?
