Our Teapot Challenge this week is to make a tickle card for a fellow teapotter about our New Years resolutions. Ever since I stopped playing concerts I have stopped pushing myself to learn new works on the piano. I have decided to learn Rachmaninov Piano Concerto #3. It is wickedly difficult but magnificent. You can buy what they call plus one recordings of symphonies playing the orchestral part minus the piano so even if I don't want to play with a symphony I can amuse myself and friends.
I stamped and embossed the silver bg stamp (Hero Arts) first. Next was the white panel with silver music. I split the cs along the edges and rolled them to distress. the piano is embossed on parchment and framed with silver glitter. It is finished off with ribbon, a feather, a bought white muslin rose which I added a rhinestone to the centre.

Oh my goodness Elizabeth, this card AND your goal are amazing. A lucky teapotter is going to love this. Now stop reading and go back to your piano young lady.

Very elegant! How I envy your ability to play, I can't imagine the talent required of a concert pianist! I'm certain you will conquer Rachmaninov!
