Time again for the Hand Stamped Sentiments (#485) Challenge. This round, we have a great sketch for you.

My reverse clean and simple design was influenced by several similar challenges: Alphabet (Letter X) for X-Ray featuring a black and white color scheme; Little Red Wagon (#851) with a Retro Rock & Roll theme; Krafty Chicks (#813) for a Masculine card; Addicted to CAS (#304) to add Stripes; Inkspirational (#364) for a CAS card with a twist using the Letter E; and AAA Cards (#311) with the same requirement.






My Letter E is for Enjoy, Encouragement and Electric Guitars.
Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Black cardstock.
- The sentiment, Enjoy The Moment, from the retired Enjoy The Moment stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
- Torn Strip: (5½” x 2”) Black & White Splatter patterned piece of paper from the retired Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper pack hand torn to expose the white edges.
- Cross Strip: (5½” x 1”) Black & White Striped patterned piece of paper from the same paper pack.
- Decoration – Electric Guitars: Two of the Guitars were fussy-cut with Paper Snips from the Guitar patterned piece of paper, again from the same paper pack.
All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch. The Guitars were popped up with Mini Dimensionals.
Keeping it simple, a really super guy card!

I look forward to seeing how you are inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch this round.
