I got a couple of PTI sets from my Mum for my birthday and used them today for the Ways to Use It challenge to create a background. I pressed several Ranger Distress Inks onto the card base before stamping the grunge elements. The guitar and stars are popped up and just for fun I added a black paperclip. The yellow stamping (Ranger Distress Scattered Straw) is much more vivid than the photo shows. The stars are cut using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Stars dies - love them, don't know what I'd do without them!

Well, that's a lot of fun! I love your "grungy" background - great colors and composition - and the whole feel of the card. Certainly fits the sentiment...

Always a study in excellence, Bridget. Your placement of stamps and elements never ceases to amaze me. This grunge background is perfect for the challenge. And ... a great card for a young teen, boy or girl.

I've been feeling the need for star dies recently, LOL. This is a great grungy guy card. I love the contrast of the black against the brighter colours - and that stamp in the top right corner is fab!

This is such a cute and well designed card. I think I may have to CASE it for my son's upcoming birthday. He's going to be 37, but I still think he rocks...LOL
