Without Music Card and ONLY 5 DAYS Left for FREE STAMPS AND FREE PAPER

 

 

Today’s  “Without Music” Card is one of my favorites to make.  Of course, being a Close to My Heart Independent Consultant I primarily used their wonderful products.  The “Without Music” card is made with Daisy white cardstock, Black Cardstock, Black ink, “Hello Blooms” Stamp Set, Black Glitter Tape and Black sparkle Embellishments.  The sentiment quote is from my personal stash (pre Close to My Heart Consultant days) and states "Without Music Life would be a mistake"  Friedrich Nietzsche but I feel it is especially well suited for the hello Blooms Stamp Set.

To make the “Without Music” card I first stamped white daisy card stock with the music flower stamp from the “Hello Blooms” stamp set.  I then cut out 3 different size flowers (3 times) from the Flower Shoppe Circuit cartridge and 2 different size flowers  (3 times)from black cardstock and layered them to make the flowers.  I used black sparkles embellishments for each center of the flower.  I also cut out 3 stems from black glitter tape and lined the bottom edge of the card with black glitter tape to complete the card.
