Hi Susan here....
Today a new challenge has begun at Sentimental Sunday and the theme is 'Inspired by a Song', It doesn't have to be a seasonal song, but let music be your guide in creating some projects..... For full details of the challenge and to see some fabulous inspiration from the design team take a look at the Sentimental Sunday Challenge Blog and join in the fun with us all.
Now for my card.....
When I heard that it was 'Inspired by a song' I did wonder what I could do, then I remembered this great image from The Tickled Pink Stamps Store and the music came next......So I decided to make a card that could be given to a man for Christmas. My backing papers are from Papermania 'Inspirations' pack, some brown handmade paper I had in my stash and a download sheet of Christmas carol music from the internet.
All the edges have been distressed and inked then glittered with stickles. The ribbon and gems are from my local market.
Here is my 'Gentleman' my inspiration with my song sheet....you can find him at The Tickled Pink Stamps Store and he is called 'Luca'. I have used Promarkers to colour him, I have cut him out 'carefully' and layered him onto the music sheet.
My Flower is handmade and the sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs. Both have been glittered with stickles.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my card and for leaving all your wonderful comments, they are very much appreciated.....I hope you liked it.
Love Susan
