Soul Music

A couple months ago, I was asked to be a guest designer for the C.R.A.F.T. challenge blog team!  Today begins the challenge I am guest designing for!  Yay, so exciting!  The challenge for this week is: Father's Day/Male and the sponsor is The Paper Shelter:

And here is the card I created for your inspiration:

The Paper Shelter has tons of fabulous images, including this one!  I won it a while back and this is the first time I've had it out to play.  I think it will be a birthday card either for my brother-in-law or his grandfather.  They are both very good pianists and I think they would appreciate the musical theme of it.  I used a musical score stamp for the background.  For the red panel, I scored it several times horizontally to mimic the pleats on a cumberbund.  It actually started because I had a pieces of red card stock that was scored in one place; I just added more score lines to go along with it.

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head over to the C.R.A.F.T. blog for the full details and to see what the Design Team created.
