We have a brand new challenge starting today at Double D, and of course, Diane has created a fabulous Mood Board for us. It's all about Music.
I used a Spellbinders die that I have had for years. It is fun to pull out older dies and give them some new love. The inside of the die is actually the negative of the die that I put behind the main die and backed it with some decorator music paper. I cut the main die again in black and inlaid the black part around the border. The Ballerina is a Poppy Stamp Fairy... I just left off her wings. The piano is Frantic Stamper and the happy birthday is Poppy Stamp. I will also enter this at the Poppy Stamp Spring Cleaning. The challenge is to use something you have not used before of a clean and simple design. This is clean and simple for me.
The prize for this challenge which is chosen by random is this great Frantic Stamper Die.
The team has fabulous inspiration for you at Double D Challenge Blog. We hope you will join us with your Musical project.
Gorgeous dies, made into silhouettes, love it.x

WOW this is beautiful Kathy and what a FABULOUS idea to cut the wing off of this 'poised faerie' and turn her into a Ballerina and use her on a musical creation like you've done today with the piano ... what a GREAT idea and it looks AWESOME!! WELL DONE!!
ReplyDeleteA beautifully created design with all the pretty dies you have used and love the softness of the music background...and of course very clever to use her as a ballerina...totally gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kathy! Love how you've turned your fairy into a dancing ballerina! I have that die and you have inspired me to do this too! Lovely, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is a excellent card showing how you can use dies in many different ways. You are so crafty and I will remember to cut off the wings on my unused fairy. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!! Love the doily die and the dancer and everything else. Now 'Music Box Dancer' will be going through my head all say lol
ReplyDeleteoops, all day
DeleteYou all did such beautiful cards for this challenge! So many different samples with awesome dies and stamps. Love this with the piano and dancer. Who has a piano die? You, of course! I like how the fairy became a ballerina just by leaving off the wings. I have a bunch of theses fairies dancing in a garden... still sitting out in my dining room where I can enjoy them every day.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE all your elements here. That soft color is just beautiful, and how clever to include a ballerina. I like that everything is in silhouette too. Great take on the Mood Board, I just adore this card.
ReplyDeleteWow-simply stunning Kathy. All the elements are working together beautifully to make the card so elegant.
ReplyDeleteGreat design Kathy!! Love the layers! Thanks for participating in Poppystamps "Spring Cleaning" Challenge!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant design. I love the drama of the black accents.
