Peaceful Music

Hi folks, it's Holly posting today!

Have you played in our Music challenge yet?  Dig out your old sheet music, die cut some musical notes, or pull out a music background stamp and show us what you can create!

For my card today, I pulled out the Shabby Music Background Stamp from JustRite, and stamped it with a pale gray ink onto some vanilla cardstock.  I sponged the edges with the same gray ink, and then again with some eggplant ink.

Next, I stamped the gorgeous Worn Rose Branch with the eggplant ink.  However, I used a little trick when stamping the rose branch.  Instead of inking and stamping, I inked up the stamp, then pressed the ink onto some scratch paper first.  Then I pressed the stamp onto my music paper.  This gives me a faded and much softer image, which is exactly what I wanted.  I repeated this two more times to fill in the space around the bottom.

The sentiment, from With Sympathy (JustRite), was stamped with eggplant ink and this time I stamped it directly from the ink pad.  You can see the difference in the full ink stamping of the sentiment versus the stamped-off ink from the rose branches.

I wanted to keep this card flat and mail-able, but I also wanted to add a little lace to my card.  I cut off the top right corner of my music paper and put down a strip of the 1/8" Scor Tape across the edge of the cut-off corner.  A small length of Ecru Delight lace was laid down onto the Scor Tape.

To fill in the bare corner, I cut out one of the corner dies from Lace Corner Deco F (Cheery Lynn Designs) from eggplant cardstock.  This corner piece was glued to the corner of the vanilla cardstock layer.  I then adhered my music paper to the vanilla layer, and then I glued the whole piece to an eggplant card base.

I hope you play along with our Music challenge.  I'd love to see how you use music on your projects!

Your card is so lovely! Thanks Holly!
