Musical birthday

This card is for the sketch on Come and get it, using a landscape DL card:

The music on the left was a La Blanche foam stamp inked with memento tuxedo black. The paisley panel was embossed with a cuttlebug folder and swiped with the memento pad. The keyboard across the bottom is ribbon, as is the stitched piece on the left.

The flowers were originally plain chipboard which I die cut with a Sizzix little green die (the Sizzix dies usually live at the back of the cupboard these days!). I stamped a Tim Holtz paisley stamp with stazon blazing red, then swiped with versarmark and heat embossed with UTEE a couple of times, the second time inking up the stamp and pressing it into the molten UTEE, this time using memento rich cocoa to give a bit of definition. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't show the embossing as clearly as it does irl. Having put a foam pad on the back of each flower I sprinkled the centres with black glitter. Just the addition of a Cardwork crafts birthday sentiment and the card was finished.

This is for:

Stamp man 27: anything by T!m (paisley stamp)
The play date cafe 19: black and white with just one colour
Incy wincy 103: black & white plus 1 other
St Luke's charity cards challenge: black, white plus one other colour (there is an opportunity to donate the card, which I will happily do - if you haven't come across this blog before please go and have a look)
Totally Gorjuss 90: punch or die (the flowers)
Corrosive 125: let the music play
Little red wagon 90: music notes
Birthday sundaes 18: anything goes
Stampavie 147: birthday
Sunday stamper 163: build me up buttercup - build your own flower embellishment
HLSC 31: make your own embellishment
Stamp something: something embellished
Make it colourful 27: colour your embellishments
Scrappy frogs: summer flowers
Deep ocean 4: ribbons
For fun: 2 different ribbons
Kaboodle 76: embossing
Sundays with Crissy 19: de-stressing - distressing on the embossed paisley panel
