Daring Cardmakers - Let's Rock

 
Sorry for posting so late this week, but I've been moving into a new flat in London, so have been without internet over the weekend.  Thankfully, (thanks to my lovely boyfriend) I now have my craft stuff all set up and ready to go, so I'm fully operational again.  (I won't tell you what he said when he realised that out of the hundreds of boxes he helped me carry up the stairs, only one little bag contained clothes - EVERYTHING else was craft stuff!   Anyway, this is my card for this week's challenge over at Daring Cardmakers - Kathy set the challenge this week to make a card that rocked (ie. had a shaped bottom) - and as a double dare to have the theme of rock.  I used a Tim Holtz grungeboard shape as the main feature for the card (without thinking that having it off centre would affect the rocking ability of the card), so I then had to counterbalance it.  I added the little flourish which has been embossed with copper and verdigris powders, but I also had to stick a couple of metal brads to the inside of the card to stop it tilting to one side.  Next time I make a card with this shaped base I'll remember to centre whatever I stick on it!!

The design team have come up with some really amazing cards this week, so pop over to have a look.

I love the grungy nature of this card. Perfect for a rock star (or someone with pretensions!) Have fun in your new place!

I hope you're settled in by now, Sharon - I bet you're happy to have your stash with you at last eh?

This is a fab card - love all the grungy texture. I think I found out the first time I made one of these that the trick is to keep checking how the balance is going!
