Swap Card February 2015

I belong to a little swap group on Facebook and we exchange cards once a month. This month the theme was "Music/Musical". This is the card I made and sent to my swap partner. 

I started by matting and layering a paper I printed from MCS 'Quintessential Country Garden' CD and blue card. The musical paper is from Free Vintage Digital Stamps which I cropped and matted onto blue card. I added a couple of doilies and distressed everything with scissors and ink.

I found the music quote online and printed it onto a postcard. The bird is made with a Marianne die.

I added a ribbon tab and large rick-rack. The small die-cuts are from a Crealies die and the musical stave is a Memory Box die cut twice.
