This year is flying by!! It time again for the Less is More challenge which is hosted by Chrissie and Mandi...and this week we've been challenged to make a card with a "music" theme. I've finished three cards and I'm not totally happy with any of them, so...if time permits, I might just have to make another card or two before the week's out. Of course, with all the Christmas prep, I might be a little strapped for time.
Next Friday is also my birthday (sigh....) The years just keep flying by! Anyway...back to the cards...here they are:
This first card is super simple. I used a mask that I tore from the center of a paper to stamp the music background...but first I stamped the large sunflower and masked it. Sunflower and sentiment are from Flourishes.
This next card is just a music background that I stamped on white card stock, then cut out with a PTI die. I colored the edges with a gold foil pen and a black marker. The music note was cut with the Cameo. Sentiment from Flourishes. No idea who makes the music background.
This last card was made with the Cameo mostly. I cut the piano from black card stock, then added some gold highlights with a gold uniball pen. Sentiment is from Flourishes. The bench is pop dotted for a little added dimension.
Like I said earlier...super simple cards this week. Thanks a million for stopping by! I truly appreciate your comments!!
Until next time...
Hugs!

Susan they are all wonderful. We card makers really do put our 'work' down too much. Especially like the piano! Karen x
They may be simple, but they're not boring or ordinary. Anyone would love to receive one of these originals! Happy Holidays.

Hi Susan, I like the sunflower with the music sheet. I wanted to include a flower in the card I am "trying" to make, but couldn't think which one. Your choice is perfect. Merry Christmas, Erica.

Three fabulous cards. I especially like the second one. Gorgeous! Also,
I sent you an email.
3 gorgeous cards, love them all
Well you might be overly pleased with them, but I think (and I see many others do) they are gorgeous. I especially love the first one. The sunflower makes the card just pop, and the way you've masked a shape for the manuscript is brilliant. Happy Christmas!
All three are fab Susan, my favourites would be no's 1 and 3. They are all so different:)
Hope you have a lovely birthday with lots of spoiling and a Merry Christmas as well.
