Vannessa's challenge today is all about ELVIS! <3 I chose Heartbreak Hotel for my inspiration.
First, I took a quarter sheet of cardstock and a credit card, and applied acrylic paints in layers until I liked it. I used a combination of Delta Paints and Golden Fluid Acrylics.
Then I cut out the heart with the heart framelits. I cut that in half with the Finishing Touches Edgelit. Then I sponged the edge of the heart with Early Espresso.
Then I RUINED my white inkpad by inking up what was apparently a DIRTY background stamp - GRR. That'll teach me! At least the touch of pink looked cool. Guess I have a pink craft ink pad now.

Cool!!! I'm too literal-minded when it comes to song titles. DH was reeling off a list of them to me when I asked, but I couldn't think of how to make cards from any of them. The pinked edge, thought-provoking sentiment and colours are all fabulous.
Poor white ink pad. I do that all the time to my Versamark, even though in theory I have a "clean" pad, a messed up pad and a really messed up pad on the go almost all the time :-(. The clean one never stays clean for very long.

Pure Awesome! The heart is fabulous, and the bg stamp does look great even though you did mess up an ink pad (so aggravating!)

I just love how you're leading us all into this mixed media revolution. I love the backgrounds you have been creating and by experimenting which I love to do, too. Credit cards? What a hoot! Artistic!
