In a few days' time it will be my oldest granddaughter's 12th birthday. And only a few days after that, she is taking part in a music competition, playing the flute which she loves. So I wanted to make her a card with a musical theme and, as she's turned into a lovely young lady over the last year or so, make a more grown-up card than I've made for her before.
I found the perfect digi at Digi Doodles - it is called Sweet Melody and it even looks a bit like my granddaughter. I coloured it with pencils and cut it with a circular die, adding layers of plain and scalloped circles in white, blue and kraft.
For the background, I used pale blue card stamped randomly with musical notation, using Versamark ink. Next came layers of stencilled, embossed, stamped and real music paper and a die cut stave. The matted image topped all these then I added die cut leaves and fabric flowers for a finishing touch.

So beautifully crafted for your Granddaughter Jane, thanks so much for joining in with our 'coloured or paper pieced' theme at We Love Chocolate Baroque.
Hope the competition goes well, my eldest daughter always wanted to play the flute but here fingers were too short so she ended up with the Cornet.

Oh wow! What a great card, I love all the layers. I'm sure she'll love her card, I do!
I hope she does well. Both my daughter's learnt the flute. I was sorry when they stopped playing.
