Piano Card

I created this piano shaped card. I'm not big on making shaped cards but thought I'd try my hand at this.  I didn't use a template just free hand cut the card base in the shape of a piano and then went to decorating it. 

I started with a white card base and covered the front in black.  I cut white and black strips of card stock to resemble piano keys.  I added the floral patterned paper to the top of the card to complete the look of the piano.  I added a large purple paper daisy with a purple paper rose in the center. To give a more elegant look to the flower I punched mini branches out of lavender card stock and added them to one side of the flower and added crystal stickles to each one. The butterflies are punched out of paint chip samples (lavender and spring green) that you find in the paint section of a paint supply store.  I added crystal stickles to the wings and white liquid pearls to the center of each one.  I finished off the card by adding 4 white pearls to the opposite side of the card just above the piano keys.

Graduation

This year my niece will be graduating from high school. I created this card for her using Sassy Cheryl's Frantic Girl Graduate digi.  Her school colors are purple and white.

I started with a dark purple card base and added a piece of purple card stock cut just slightly smaller to it. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and backed it in dark purple.  I added 3 white with purple edge paper flowers to the bottom corner of the image and added a white pearl to the center of each one. I punched 3 butterflies out of pastel purple card stock. I added 3 white pearls to the center of each one and added crystal stickles to the wings.  I stamped the sentiment onto the image and added 3 more white pearls to the top corner of the card.
