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)

ReplyDeleteMarvelous CAS card Kath! Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Allsorts.
ReplyDeleteLovely 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!
