It's a New Year...Strike up the Band!

2016 came and went without a single blog post from me. I am all about changing that for 2017, and what better way to do so than to blog on New Year's Day!

Can you hear the trumpets playing? Well, if you can't, maybe my card will have you hearing some music. LOL! I made it for the Anything but Christmas Challenge over at Stamp Ink Paper. Here's my card:


To create this card, I stamped the band members using Memento Tuxedo black and colored in the images using Copic markers. The band uniforms are in the school colors of the young man who received the card. Next, I used a MFT die to cut out the stitched circle. For the background, I stamped a random pattern using some of the elements from the stamp set. I made sure to use the trumpet since that is the instrument the birthday boy plays! The sentiment is from white embossed on a strip of black card stock.

So that's all for today. Let's see if I can keep the blogging going!

Happy New Year!
