Allsort 495: Inspired By A Song

I am back today sharing my card for this week's Allsorts challenge and this time it's Helene's turn to host. She picked the fun theme of "Inspired by a Song". A great prize is up for grabs so hope you'll manage to join us this time.


My card is below, my first intent was to make a Christmas card but changed my mind when I came across the sentiment on my desk :-)  Can you guess what song it made me think of?

"I wanna dance with somebody" by Whitney Houston. 



I used my Tonic Stamp Platform to ensure a good impression of the pretty stamp Born to Dance by Visible Image, stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. I then used the Rays stencil by Tim Holtz and Broken China ink  to make it appear as if the spotlight is on the dancer. The Stars and Clock (you can see a glimpse of it on the top right) were also stencilled, this time using Spun Sugar  distress ink. After the stencilling was finished, I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black (see my "For Sale" tab at the top of my blog if you're interested in this stamp - I currently still have one available brand new) twice using broken china ink and inked the edges with versamark to add some more silver embossing. Isn't this quote perfect for the stamp? 




Scrapbook.com now carries many of the Visible Image brand stamps, and they are currently on sale. Plus, they are currently running their Black Friday Weekend Sale, so there are lots of great deals. You can see all current deals by clicking HERE or simply click on the banner below.

This is STUNNING! LOVING that dancer!!!!!

Ellibelle said...

Thanks Brenda, not sure how I survived without a stamp platform before... I remember lots of paper waste back then!

Ellibelle said...

Thanks Mervi, one of my faves too :-)

Ellibelle said...

Thanks so much, Marilyn. Have a great day too!

Ellibelle said...

Thanks Julie! She's gorgeous!

Kathleen said...

Really super background and a really lovely image, brilliant creation.
I am the same about the S.P. I had to make 120 cards and chose the Woodware reindeer silhouette, it made a great deal of difference using the S.P. and so did the V.F. Clair nocturne stamp pad.
Have a good week.

Absolutely Stunning, , mmm love the image, perfect background. Thanks for playing along in the "Anything goes Challenge" at the Happy Craft . P.S. I also love the stamp platform , if I didn't have it none of my images would be straight

Ellibelle said...

Thanks Kath! I really want to get the Versafine clair ink pad next, but I just got a new onyx ink pad a few weeks ago, right before I heard about the clair. Definitely in a future purchase though!!

Ellibelle said...

Thanks Maud! The platform does work wonders and saves me lots of paper waste!
