Birthday Jazz

 

Inside of card

Hello, everyone! This card was made for my nephew's birthday. This was a really fun card to make!

I knew I wanted to include the guitar and music notes in my project so I began with my focal point. I printed a musical score from digital paper and then die cut it using Sue Wilson's California Basic Frames A die. I matted it in black with a larger die from the same set. Next, the guitar was cut in black card stock using Ellentina Cutting Dies Classic Collection. Since the guitar die cut had open areas, I matted it with silver glitzy paper to fill that in. "U ROCK" was computer generated and then cut with a circle die from Spellbinders Standard Circles and adhered to a circular shape cut with a die from Spellbinders Luscious Labels One. The sentiment was also computer generated and cut with Spellbinders A2 Distressed Edges die and matted in black.

Having my die cut images ready, I wanted to present them on a complimentary layer and chose GKD Sweet Corn card stock and scored all four edges. This layer was then matted with black and adhered to a white base card. At this point I positioned and adhered my die cut images on the completed base to create a 3D effect.

For the inside of the card, shown above, this took some thought. I composed my own verse using musical terms and digital musical symbols. After adhering this panel to the inside, my project was complete.

Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing this post. Hope you come back again and again. Until next time, have a creative day!
