This card is for the upcoming June birthday of a dear SCS friend and fellow Punchkateer. She loves birds and sings in two choirs and is a billionaire (so she loves to jet around the world to buy new punches just to make the rest of us drool).
I used today's sketch challenge, SC282, and the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club challenge to use sheet music in your card to make this music-themed birthday card. This card also qualifies for this week's Crafty Creations Challenge, to use your favorite stamp. I used my new PTI Everyday Button Bits stamp set, which *is* my new favorite!!!
And because the soon-to-be birthday girl loves her punches, I used a ton on this card!! Let's see: MS deco fan corner punch, MS deco fan border punch, CM corner rounder, SU scallop trim border punch, SU 1" circle punch, CM 1.5" circle punch, and SU designer label punch. Whew!! That was a workout!!
Paper: vintage hymnal page, DCWV textured card stock, Paper Company card stock, DP scraps
Ink: Palette noir black, Palette burnt umber, Palette hay stack
Accessories: MS deco fan corner punch, MS deco fan border punch, CM corner rounder, SU scallop trim border punch, SU 1" circle punch, CM 1.5" circle punch, SU designer label punch, buttons, burlap string, sponge, brads, dimensionals

I was certain I had commented on this little beauty. But it appears that I must have just sat and stared at all the details, too mesmerized to actually type anything in the comment box. What can I say - it's fantastic. Love all the punchin', the music, the birdies - you've really captured her favourite things. I figure that we should all just tell Ben-Benzi we've mailed her a birthday card, hang onto them for a week or two, and make her wait by the mailbox for a while. Yup, that's what I think. RYPH
