The weekend is upon us, and it's a beautiful day, today! The sun is shining and there are snow clouds in the sky. It's a good day, to sit in my craft room, with the blinds open and view is beautiful. I'm not sure how you craft, but me, I listen to music. All kinds of music, everything from Van Morrison, Poco, to Creed. And we all know how music changes your mood. A nice simple beat of regae can turn an otherwise 'rough' day, into something 'happy'. And the fast beat of metal can cause you to drive faster, and a bit more aggressive. Well, for me, the same is true with how music can influence my crafting. I tend to listen to 'old' music to create a calmer mood in my craft room. It allows me to think clearer and not rushed.
The reason I rambled on about music, is because Holly over @ Our Creative Corner, has asked us to: "take inspiration from a song and work it into any papercraft project you'd like. Just make sure your post includes the song title (and if possible the artist) that inspired you!" What a creative idea!
Here is my card:
Angel from Montgomery by Bonnie Raitt
I wanted to make something 'pretty' and I wanted to use this fabulous sketch @ Sasya-Sketch, here:
I know, I wasn't very creative with this sketch. But, it was just so beautiful, that I wanted to use it, in its original state. No flipping, no changes, just keep it as is.
This card is also another one of my collaborations of a 'million' products. No restrictions, just create. So, here we go.
I used pattern paper from Cosmo Cricket. I used solid card stock from Paper Trey Ink and Stampin' Up!. I used ink from Paper Trey Ink and CTMH. I used crochet trim from Paper Studios. My main flower is a collaboration from several. The yellow one is from a company that is no longer around. The white one, is a 'naked' flower mean for 'coloring'. The next white flower below that one is one I cut from waffle paper and then adding dazzling diamond glitter to the tips. The two white leaves came from a wedding floral sprig. The tiny yellow flower comes from Webster's Pages. The tag comes from Melissa Frances. The buttons are a collection of Amuse Studios, Paper Trey Ink, and CTMH. The stamps are from Stampin' Up! and Amuse Studios. The label is from Amuse Studios. I used a distress paint on the edges of the pattern paper pieces. I made a cluster of various rhinestones at the top of the main flower. The large half faux pearl was added at the end of this creation. I added a string of half faux pearls to the bottom of the sentiment, and wanted to continue that elegance, that softness. I think the scrap piece of crochet trim helped.
Thank you for stopping by. Leave me a comment, I'd love to know what types of music help you create!
