Here is my card for the ' Free for All' challenge :F4A86 Cards with Character.
I made this card for Elise, a girl who loves music and plays the piano very well.
I was happy when I found this lovely paper from Marianne Design called Songbook.
It contains a sheet with music and lyrics from Beethoven's Fur Elise, and sheets with some notes and a birthday song which I used for the background.
So it's perfect for her birthday card.
The polka dot paper is from BObunny : Timepiece Dot
For decoration I used cord and I weaved a black ribbon with polka dots through it.
The flower is made with a cutting die from Marianne Design : LR 0131, and a another embellishment is the iron note.
I entered this card for the following challenges :
- WT334 : using craft paper
-City Crafter Challenge Blog : #78 Black and cream
-Marianne design challenge Blog :#40 Kraft and rope
greetings,
niki
