Just a Note

I've not had much time for crafting this week as we've spent time setting up a new laptop as our old one had 'died' on us - we've also been getting ready to go away in Martha tomorrow.  I did have time today to make this quick notecard using a new (to me) die I've recently purchased.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" cream matt card blank
     Tonic Studios 'Treble Clef' and My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die'namics' dies
     Clearly Besotted 'Fancy Sayings' stamp
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Snippet of dark brown card

I used the die to emboss a rectangle in the front of the card blank and placed the card into my MISTI.  I die cut the Treble Clef from a snippet of dark brown card and laid it inside the embossed rectangle so I could see where to stamp 'Just a Note'.  I removed the die cut and stamped the sentiment several times to get a good depth of colour to match the die cut.  I then used Artist Tac to attach the Treble Clef inside the frame.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Alphabet Challenge - M for Monochrome
     Less is More - Music
     NBUS - Challenge 55 (my new Tonic Studios die)

Lovely clean cut lines and the embossing really lifts it, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts. Smiled when I read 'Martha' guessing that's the Van, my car is Delores, no idea why mind you!

This die is perfect for a 'note' card Kath and would also be great for someone who is into playing an instrument or singing...I love the embossed rectangle die you used to frame it. I hope you have a great trip. x
