Music makes the world better. My birthday card features die cuts from Die'Versions, Tutti Designs, and Heartfelt Designs with stamps on the inside from Kraftn' Kimmie Stamps and Fiskars. "If music be the food of love. play on!"
This is one of two cards I put together today with a similar theme and some of the same elements.
Putting It Together
Sometimes I get an idea in my head and then, after die cutting or stamping some of the elements, another similar idea pops in to compete. This card and its companion (Piano Birthday Silver) started out from the same idea and diverged.
As I was waking this morning while thinking about a challenge (that ends today), I came up with an idea to use the piano silhouette I bought months ago (and hadn't used yet) with a music bar (also bought months ago and not used yet), a scribble frame, and a birthday greeting. When I looked in Evernote to remind myself about black and white challenges + one other colour current challenges, I saw the "case" CAS challenge and thought, without the scribble frame, this would fit. I dry fit the dies together.
I first die cut the music and 'happy birthday' from silver glitzy cardstock but the silver was a bit.. chilly in a layout this CAS, so I set the silver aside and die cut bronze. After I finished making this card with the bronze, I used the silver in another card, Piano Birthday Silver. I used a black gloss foiled cardstock for the piano.
To adhere the individual letters in the right places, I started with the last letter and worked to the start.
I adhered the die cuts directly to the white card base.
Inside, I used two retired stamps, one from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and the other from Fiskars.
