60th Birthday Request on a musical theme

A request received from a colleague of my husband, a musical card for a ladies 60th Birthday.

The request was for a guitar or piano based card. Using the Cricut machine and 'Quarter Note' cartridge I cut the piano section in black card then white card for the keys section. The background of the piano was cut using light brown card stock. The scroll music piece was created using the Cricut Gypsy machine welding circles and rectangles to create the shape. This was cut twice and then hand cut from paper where I drew by hand the music paper and notes. I arced the pieces and glued using silicon glue to retain the curved shape.

The personalised message was printed onto ivory card stock and matted onto light brown card stock. Musical notes were cut from the Sizzix musical notes thin dies from black card stock.  The piano shape was matted onto ivory card stock on a decorative rectangle cut from a Spellbinders die. The message and piano topper were matted onto backing paper (scroll music) and fixed to the base card.
