Many people are fans of the late Elvis Presley. I have friends in that camp and so I have a large collection of Elvis stamps. I was asked to make a birthday card for a friend's daughter for her birthday. I knew she is an Elvis fan (she even named her son Elvis), so I decided to make her a personalized Elvis card. Lots of people love campy, or quirky, collectibles, and I remembered I had a Elvis lamp stamp that I thought would be fun for her as she has a great sense of humor.
Supplies:
Stamps: Viva Las Vegas, A Muse Artstamps
Paper: White Deckled Card, Gina K Designs
Ink: Memento Black, Archival Black
Misc.: Copics, Wink of Stella, Tim Holtz Index Labels, Memory Box Die
Elvis was known for this costumes and so I decided to add Wink of Stella shine to his jumpsuit stars for a bling effect.
This was a lot of fun for me to make. I love it when I can make an unusual card that will bring a smile to someone.
Until next time!

What a fun card for your Elvis-loving friend!
Brilliant! This is a perfect card for the Elvis fan! You always have the perfectly themed posts :)
I love it! It has that campy/quirky feeling of much of the Elvis memorabilia I've seen. As a matter of fact, I felt that Graceland had that same feeling when I visited it during a trip to Memphis a couple of years ago. LOL! Have a blessed week my friend.
Gosh, I didn't know there were Elvis stamps - great card! Personalizing it makes it special.
Wow, my mom would love this Elvis image! She is a huge Elvis fan...just so funny how he is a lamp! You always have the most unique images. Fantastic card!
