OLW42: I've Got the Music in Me

ETA:  Well, it was bound to happen. My friend Carol and I have very similar cards for the challenge. I started not to post mine, but what the heck. Carol,  I swear I didn't see your card before making mine. I guess great minds really do think alike ...

A fabulous challenge this week from Jennifer Styles:  to create a one layer musically themed card. I started with a totally different card in mind, but couldn't make it work. So I went a totally different direction, and I'm very happy with the outcome. In fact, I already made two more cards while I had everything out. Sometimes I just make things too difficult . . . and that's not just in card making lol

The musical score stamp is from Stampendous and the sentiment is from Savvy. I added some black glitter to the treble clef with a Copic Spica pen. The inside sentiment is from Verses. I wish now I had added some little music notes on the inside in red . . . I think I'll go back and do that.


Thank you for stopping by today.

Hugs,
Colleen

  2. Oh, you're too funny!
    You know, it's was bound to happen. We got pretty close to the same card last week, too...if my stamp wasn't defective....
    Anyway, I really, really like your card, esp the inside sentiment. So cute!
