This card came about as I saw today's Mix Media Challenge plus I was still debating on what to do for my Alpha challenge M. I was thinking MM but then saw the Free for all challenge to do with music and that's when my light bulb came on.
A friend gave me a huge bag of old music paper that her Stepmum had. It's a huge bag so some of it may end up winging its way to my Mixed Media mates in due course when I send them cards. I also have another friend who has informed me that she has a box of music paper for me that her mum had. I love old paper so I was over the moon to receive it but not sure I will live long enough to use it all LOL. MM friends watch out.
Ok, back to my card. Out came a piece of music paper. It's double sided and both lovely and I really didn't want to tear it, but hey what else to do and when you are into MM. Pasted down with clear gesso.
This is where I thought ok....my music and M card started. What next for the MM challenge. Music stamp out and music stamped, followed by my TH music stencil. I didn't want to spray my inks or use paste as it's a one layer card....well it was LOL....so I'm dabbing my spray inks through the stencil but they don't come out that great. Another light bulb moment and out come the watercolour paints. I could have used my sponges or other stash but I wanted some light colour without taking away from the music paper. Two colours added. I needed a 3rd for the MM challenge.
Stamps out and that's my 3rd colour. Phew.
Emphera out and Just a Note stamped with ink and also Wink of Stella. The note stamped the same and then fussy cut. Plonked on top and bling added.
Gosh I love MM and playing.
TFL. Happy day

Music is such a beautiful theme to use for making a card. Sounds like you had a great time creating this lovely mix of stamps and stencils. Sweet collage card~
