Defy Gravity!

Last night my husband and I went to the Smith Center for the Performing Arts to see the production of "Wicked"!  We had such a fun time!  This was my second time seeing "Wicked" but David's first!  He has loved the music ever since I played if for him years ago after going on a weekend trip with the Young Women from church!  Well, finally the production came to Las Vegas!  They announced it last year and we've been looking forward to going since then!  It was great!  The cast members were very talented and funny and I completely enjoyed myself!  So....in honor of my wonderful evening, I thought I would make a fun card to go along with the theme!

I hope that you get a chance to see "Wicked"!  If you have seen it, I would love to hear what you thought about it and where you saw it!

Now back to Halloween!  I made this card with the same paper I designed for my mummy card from convention and Jill's get together.  It was done using My Digital Studio and sent to Stampin' Up! for printing.  It is a 5 x 7 trifold card and I put the tag punch shape on each panel of the card and filled it with my "mummy paper" on one side and Frightful Sight DSP and Wicked Cool stamp brushes on the other and when I received it from the printer, I trimmed around the tag shape.  It is a card AND a home decor item!  My mummy paper is made using the torn edge stamp brush copied and flipped with a drop shadow, the eyes are just circle punches with a black mat and dropped shadow.  It does take some time so have something else to do while you're waiting for it to load (it has several layers!!) and then save it as a .jpg file so you don't have to wait for all the layers to load each time you open it.  My Digital Studio 2 may make it easier to do the strips by grouping and copying, I may have to try it!  And speaking of My Digital Studio 2, please check for a new update (under help on your menu) and today is Digital Download day--see the new downloads here!
