This is really a great sketch! It was tough, but do-able. I have no clue why I had to go and make it harder by insisting on doing a z fold. There was a little argument going on in my head the whole time. It sounded a lot like the scene from League of Their Own where big sis is telling little sis not to swing at the high ones. Little sis says, BUT I LIKE THE HIGH ONES. High ones won.
So here's the deal: jukebox is black embossed and colored w/ markers, edged w/ a black marker and dotted w/ an orange glaze pen, then layered a couple of times.
Two bg panels of a wide stripe dp were stamped w/ the kpad and the astro twinkle stamp (Judikins). You really can't see it because then I bugged it and rubbed ink from the kpad over the raised diamonds. These are layered and attached to either side of the z fold front.
My circle was a huge jar lid traced onto white c/s then cut into halves (one side is slightly bigger than the other). Using the kpad, I stamped the Rock & Roll (MOMR) on one side and the record albums (Stamp Cabana) on the other. Edged w/ black and layered a couple of times. Then attached to either side.
The sentiment (Studio G) was stamped w/ white pigment ink onto a scrap of black glossy c/s then embossed w/ the orange glitter ep, cut out and layered. Dotted w/ orange glaze pen.
This is for my DH's birthday. He really likes old jukeboxes so hopefully, he'll like this one. TFL

Oh wow, this is just the greatest ... it's like....you know...like so 50's - you know what I'm talking about? Oh, that juke box is simply outstanding, but, oh, so much work! What you've managed to go and create is a work of art. Absolutely phenomenal!

What an awesome idea for this sketch and the COLORS--vibrantly STUNNING. Hubby should feel so special and loved with your beautiful labor of love for him.
