Tenia- a most wonderful challenge today! I had fun making this card- my DD is a viola player in several orchestras, and it is such a pleasure to hear them play I used DCWV's Music paper pack, along with a yellow dp panel embossed with Cuttlebug's Script Texture. Added geometric black and gold ribbon, and a bronze bow. Here's Golden Music

Reason: fixed card- forgot pink border
This is going to be a really fun challenge. I've got "Old Time Rock N Roll" going thru my head now. Stamping and rocking at the same time for a great cause.
Had to do another card- with lots of pink! Used Cuttlebug's Number Collage EF for my background, and my Nestie's square fleur de lis die for my center panel. Pluto seems to be enjoying the music! Here's music speaks

It took forever to get this photo uploaded today. Splitcoast said they were unable to load my "format" which was the same as every other card I ever uploaded. I kept trying, and finally got some cards uploaded.
The main thing however is that I enjoyed making a card with music elements.

Good grief, I forgot to post this on time! Guess I was just glad to get it finished and uploaded. Tenia, I loved this challenge. I don't play much anymore (piano), but back in the day it did wonders for lifting me up when I was down, or keeping me up when I was up. I played CONSTANTLY. So I was excited to get to do a music-related challenge - thank you!!
great challenge....music really is a mood lifter for me....I bought this stamp yrs ago for that reason, but this is the first time I've inked it up...it's rather large...
Thanks so much for this challenge. I have had this embossing folder for awhile and this challenge was perfect for it. This is the first time I tried this technique and was really happy with the way it turned out.

You reminded me about playing the piano as a kid. When I'd get mad at my dad, I would want to go to my room and slam the door, but that would have made the situation worse. So I would go play some rompin' rollickin' music on the piano. No one could complain, because I was just "practicing!" ;)
