Now, on to the Crazy challenge which is to use music as your theme, paper, stamp anything! Here is my card ~
The base of this card is Soft Suede with a mat of Vintage Cream and then MME Flea Market DP (I think that is the name LOL). The top brown piece is Soft Suede and was run through my Cuttlebug using my Floral & Stone Spellbinders Impressabilities template. Before I removed the template from the paper, I stamped the music note background stamp from Prima, using Vintage Cream ink. The image only shows up on the raised embossed parts. The pearl flourish is from Prima and the ribbon is from May Arts. I punched the bottom using my EK Success border punch. The GORGEOUS image, sentiment and frame are all included in the brand new Verve set called Love Story. I stamped the inside using more stamps from this set below!
The frame was stamped on Vintage Cream using Soft Suede ink. I then used a blender pen to shade areas of the frame again using Soft Sky. The sentiment was also stamped using Soft Suede but I stamped off one time so it would be a little lighter. The beautiful doves were stamped using Soft Sky. I stamped them again on a Vintage Cream scrap, cut them out, ran them through my Xyron and added clear Martha Stewart glitter. The frame was then cut out and mounted on oval DP using dimensionals.
Here is the inside ~
Here is a closer look at the BEAUTIFUL heart image and sentiment ~
