For Gillian's Birthday Thank You Notes, I wanted to make them music-related. I had some recycled music sheets lying around that had been used for center pieces at the school's last choir dinner. I crumpled them up a bit more and distressed them with Distress Inks (I only used two colors on the card - Forest Moss and Vintage Photo). I distressed every element on the card (except for the brads!). The base layer, the green strip, the torn music sheet, the treble clef piece and the saying label - oh yes, AND the ribbon (that's my favorite piece of the card!)
Both the Treble Clef and the saying were from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Rock 'N Roll Stamp Set 428. I applied a little Copper Embossing Powder around the edge of the treble clef piece, just to give a little "bling" to the vintage look.
OK, that's all my have-to-make cards taken care of! Now I'm ready to have some stamping fun!!
Remember to stop by again on the 19th of this month, when Sparkle N Sprinkle will be having its next Blog Hop: Deco Divas and Love is in the Air. You won't want to miss the Design Team's creations - not to mention a chance to win prizes!
See you then.
Love how you used so much texture with this one!
ReplyDeleteLove the subtle colors and distressing! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteLove this card. Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteShona I can never do distressing well and this looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat coppery color is a beautiful way of bringing the metallic richness of musical instruments into play! The distressed layers are super nice! (Mine never come out that well). I also like how the brads are "moving" up with the sound of the music. I never think to make the ribbon go around just a party of the element. That bow looks amazing done in that fashion!
ReplyDeleteShona, what a neat card. Love it!
ReplyDeleteShona I love all the distress on the card you did not miss a beat with me.
