Elvis In The Trees

I stamped Elvis in Weathered Wood Distress Ink and then clear embossed him. I also clear embossed a circular area where I would put the sentiment. I then stamped the Trees Backgrounder in black. I then stamped the sentiment in black and embossed that as well. This panel is matted on white with a 1/8th inch frame. I tried many different embellishments on this card however the portrait of Elvis is such a strong imge in itself that most detracted from the card. I ended up with a line of gold brads reminding me of some of his studded outfits. Thank you for looking.

Great idea to add the "studs" - that's a whole lotta brads though, must have taken ages!
