One Layer Music

A bit late with my entry this week for the Less is More challenge, which is a 'One Layer - Music' card, although better late than never as they say!
Now the only thing I have which is anything to do with music is the Music Notes wheel so I was trying to think of a song title to use as a sentiment - no luck until I stumbled across this one from Made for You. Singing away to myself I couldn't remember who sang it and then it came to me - Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. I have just found out, by doing a Google search, that this was actually recorded in 1988 and am now feeling very, very old!!!!
Anyway on to the card - I know this may look as though I have cheated with the 'one layer' but I haven't - honestly. I decided to use a technique which I showed you a while ago and, which I believe, is called 'Quick and Easy Focal Points'. I started by cutting the sticky piece of a post-it note in a rectangle 2cm x 5cm and placed this onto a plain white card blank before stamping across the card with the Music Notes wheel in Basic Black. I removed the mask, drew a solid line around the box with a Basic Black marker pen and then stamped the sentiment inside the box using my Stamp-a-ma-Jig. I added a tiny rhinestone to the 'i' just to add a little something (you are allowed minimal embellishments to a one layer card challenge and they don't come much more minimal than this!!).
Thank you for taking the time to visit and do come back tomorrow for the very first of my 'Simples Sunday' cards. x

 

Firslty I must apologise for the lack of posts this week but, unfortunately, we have a bit of a family crisis at the moment and my time has been spent either at work or the hospital! However I have managed to grab a few minutes this evening to show you a card I was asked to make last week for someone who has just got a new job in the music industry. I used the Music Notes Wheel and ran this twice across the bottom part of Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink. Part of the sentiment was computer generated and the 'congratulations' was stamped, layered onto Basic Black cardstock and formed into a banner. I cut out the name using the Timeless Type Alphabet dies and glued this onto the music before layering onto Basic Black cardstock and adding a tiny silver brad at each corner before matting onto an A5 card blank.

I feel certain my posts will be a bit erratic over the next few weeks but as soon as things are sorted I'll be back on a regular basis as usual but, in the meantime, please pop by now and again. x
