Sketch N Scrap Challenge: @ least 3 different die cuts!

Here's my sneak peek from the Sketch N Scrap blog:


My challenge is to use 3 or more DIFFERENT DIE CUTS.  I used Cricut Design Space to create the title, name and hand.  I used my Big Shot to cut the flourishes and emboss.


These pictures of from the Mayhem Festival in 2012.  The band is Motorhead.  To add some texture to the black and silver "metal" layout, I added an embossed piece of gray card stock.  I used the Tim Holtz British flag folder which was perfect for a band from England.


These are the first real cuts I created in Cricut Design Space.  I was very pleased!  I did have to go back and cut some miscellaneous pieces because layers can be "turned off" which I didn't realize at first. That feature is actually really nice you just have to know about it.  I love that you can duplicate just one layer of your cut.  For instance, I cut both of the hands from the Rock Princess cart but one had silver on the wrist and one did not.  I simple ungrouped the image and duplicated the silver layer to add to the hand that did not have it originally.  I was also able to "hide" the painted fingernails on the hands for a more masculine look.  I am loving that I can do exactly what I imagine without having to cut extra pieces and waste paper!!


My husband has requested that I frame this page and hang it in his man cave.

Ingredients:
Rusty Pickle Brass Knuckles Jam Session paper
Cricut Design Space Rock Princess
