Musical Giant

 Today’s card is using the giant happy birthday die, with some music paper.

Cut the paper with the die first, keeping all the pieces attached,

then cut it in black card, inlaying just the letters.

I thought it would be good for a music lover /musician who likes simplicity.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Nature Sings

Here's some masculine cards

from a set in the main catalogue that could easily be overlooked

Stampin' Up!'s "Nature Sings"

It could be for christmas, or any other time in my book.

Team it up with wood DSP

or the "Sheet Music" background stamp

I love the detail

Have a great weekend

A one layer musical leaf

I'm going to get you singing on this one!

I created a mask using Leaflet Framelits.

Laid the leaf mask on my topper, stamped in Versamark and embossed Sheet Music in copper powder.

Added happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, this is where you start singing :)

Laid the background mask, so just the leaf shape aperture showing,

added yellow ink, then a moon mask, more ink, more colours, gradually building up shade and depth,

Stamped parts of Nature Sings, the deer and trees, coloured them in with marker pens

to make them stand out a bit, added some twine over some new copper ribbon.

It's all one layer, but hope it looks a bit 3-D ?

Might need a bit more practice......take a look at Barbara Gray from Clarity Stamps

for some much more professional projects.......

Hope the birthday boy liked it....he's very into his music....

are you still singing?....

"happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear...."
