Lisa is the hostess for this week's Music and Dance Teapot Tuesday challenge, and our cards are going to a friend of Contrapat's. I never even knew what contra dancing was!
I admit this challenge stumped me a bit. Music, I love and normally could make music cards till the cows come home, but to incorporate any element of dance?? I have one little ballet hedgehog and that's it. But my SIL used to do jazz ballet until a thrombosis prevented it (my favourite photo from their wedding is her dancing over the lawn with the flower girl), so I just went jazzy. Stamped the background with a spectrum pad. Stamped the jazz men over it in black. Used Gorgeous Grunge and some brown or other for the the ground. Add the sentiment and music (using another spectrum pad) and sponged the edges heavily with milled lavender.

I love your sentiment and agree with it completely. This is a great card for Sherry. This is a feast for the eyes. Looks like you also did some doodling along the edges or is that some fabric? Love how you grounded your jazz players! Wonderful response to Lisa's challenge!

I adore this jazzy card and the very cool bg you created. The designs on the silhouette stamps are so neat. Using the grunge stamp for the floor--brilliant. And then topped with the perfect sentiment for this occasion. Show stopper for sure.

I had to just sit and dive into your card, so rich in pattern and color! I agree with you regarding 'feeling' the music. Love the hombre score. Those jazzy fellas are definitely on my list. Nicely played, mdf!!!
