The new challenge at Double D Challenge Blog is called Begins with "M". Dar has given us some great ideas with this mood board.
One of my best friends loves music and plays the piano so I made this music themed card with her in mind. I saw several variations of this on line and also found a free template of a grand piano. It took a few tries to get everything sized correctly. Even though I am happy with how it turned out, I don't know if I will make another one because I did not write anything down, so I would be starting all over again.
I used a Cheery Lynn doily die for the background. I added some homemade flowers and leaves, some Penny Black tulips (my friend's favorite flower), and a birthday sentiment.
The top of the piano is opens and I used some music designer paper and a flower. I made a little stand so the top of the piano can be left open. I will write my message either on the top inside or back of the piano.
