If music be the food of love ...

I needed to make an 18th birthday card for the daughter of close friends and as she is very into music - and was getting a guitar for her birthday - I decided to make that the theme.

I got some guitar printed paper which I cut into a square and matted and layered it onto silver then red card cut using the Tonic Layering dies. I stamped some treble clefs randomly onto white card then matted it onto red card and then silver mirror board. I wrapped black musical printed ribbon around two of the corners and fixed it to an 8 x 8 black card blank. I cut a circle of red and a circle of silver using the Spellbinders scalloped circles dies and put a silver sentiment into the middle of the topper which I then fixed to the middle of the card using foam pads.

She was delighted with the card and I can now safely put it on my blog! I hope you like this one and those below - why not leave me a comment and let me know.

I'm entering this card into the Die Cuttin Divas Challenge: Music in our schools.

As it was 12 x 12 I managed to get 4 cards out of it altogether, a similar colour scheme and Spellbinders die - always useful to have a few in hand! The stamps used were free with an issue of Creative stamping a couple of years ago, and the sentiments all by Craftwork Cards.
