How often does it happen you envision a card and it comes out the way you want,
FIRST
TRY?!
Um, almost never
for me~
until now.
(stamps: Papertrey Ink Grunge Me/In the Meadow snowflake/Winter Penguin sentiment)
I wanted a rockin' neon motif consisting mostly of the Grunge Me elements.
Although you would think the circles would intimidate me, they didn't.
I was expecting them to not center and figured I would overcompensate with the last elements to give an overall feel of focus.
No, the scariest parts to incorporate were the splatters~
mostly because they were the last to add and I didn't want them to overwhelm the design.
After I figured out where the tip of the little splatter was, I centered each between orange sprays.
"Stay Cool" is an apropos sentiment for a rockstar motif~ don't ya think?
Hope you like~

This is so clever and original - you really rocked it! I love how you took the rather folksy look in the motif tutorial and turned it on it's side to create such a modern look. Fabulous card - love how you think out of the box to make it your own.
Great design idea, Marlena! Love the Motif with these stamps :-)
