Special Elvis Birthday Card for a very special friend. I even used some of my cherished Purely Pomegranate paper so you know she is special. She loves Elvis and the stamp used is actually part of her gift.
I used the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 03 (MMSC3) layout for the card and love the way it turned out! Elvis stamped twice and the 2nd image is raised for the 3-D effect. So is the embossed note on the ribbon. Crumpled the Purely Pom then used Purely Pom ind in direct to paper to give it the suede effect. This is so different from my butterfly sketch.

Awesome card. Wasn't Elvis just the greatest!! I used to go to LasVegas frequently and I was lucky enough to see him in person several times and even lucky to kiss him twice!! That was in the days when he was at his best about 40 or so years ago. He also gave me one of those beautiful silk scarves he wore around his neck. Mine is red and I still have it!! Thanks so much for playing the MMSC3. We look forward to having your lovely cards in our challenge forevermore!!
