Words to Live By......

Hello everyone: I'm late posting this simple card, got caught up with the usual "fun" activities at home.....meaning laundry, prepping my meals for the next 4-5 days, separating, vacuum packing, labeling, etc.

So, here's my card.

The sentiment is by Hampton Art, very old, I heat embossed it in gold.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the front panel and I sponged the musical notes with some distress inks.

The little charms are ancient!!! They were silver so I painted them gold.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment is from a retired SU set called "Whimsical Words".

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Hello everyone and welcome to a new challenge over at SHOPPING OUR STASH

This time our theme is MUSIC so, dust off those old music sheet stamps, musical instruments, etc. and join us in the gallery.  Here is my card, I hope it will inspire you.

Two of my granddaughters play the Viola, it's truly amazing to see them on the stage with their High School and Middle School Orchestras performing.

This is a very simple card, the music score is a die from Memory Box and the sentiment is from Elizabeth Crafts, both die cut with blue foil paper.

The Viola was stamped onto a piece of water color paper and colored with Prismacolor pencils then, fussy cut, the bow was so darn hard to cut, I actually ruined one of the images and I had to start over.

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.

Sentiment from a retired Flourishes set called "Orchids" and the little flower on the corner from a retired Stampin Up! set called "Flowering Fields.

There is a lot more fabulous inspiration over at the SHOPPING OUR STASH blog, while there, stop by my teammates blogs to see their awesome creations.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.
