Musical ornament

 

I am always amazed to see what old blog posts of mine are currently getting views. Recently I noticed that a card  I made more than a decade ago was getting a lot of views. I decided to make an updateed, musical-themed version of the card, which used ribbon behind a ornament-shaped aperture.

For this card, I die-cut a tag, then die-cut the ornament shape out of it. Cut the ornament again from green cardstock, placed the ribbon over the green ornament, and inlaid it into the tag. The background layers include sheet music and a strip embossed with musical notes for some texture. 

This card is entered in these  challenges:

  3. That is so cool that a post from 10 years ago is starting to get a lot of views! Do you put your cards on Pinterest? I’ve had a similar thing happen there. I can see where this card would get a lot of attention. It’s such a sweet card, and I love the idea of a tag on it. I also love the background paper. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Word Art Wednesday!
