Aurora Wings
Sketch Challenge #71 - Inspired By Music
Time for a new challenge at Aurora Wings and this month it is an Inspired By Music challenge. Think I went a bit overboard with all the music on this card but love the bright happy feel of the end result. The song I have based this on is 'Dandelion' by P.J. Olsson
Join in the challenge here and have lots of fun :)
I started by covering a white card blank with blue paper. For the image I removed the background from the .jpg image I have and overlaid her on a music background I made. The music background has areas removed to give it a bit more character. I then added the digital text and printed. I then set to with my Distress Inks to colour the background and for the image I used my Polychromes. In keeping with the music them a rubber music corner stamp was used and I then embossed the four corners with silver embossing powder. This card layer was mounted on silver card. Time for some more music and I embossed some yellow vellum with a music embossing folder, this layer then went behind the silver layer and attached to the blue base layer. Musical note and yellow flower along with a musical note bow completed the project. Pretty happy with the end result until I came to photograph it and it looked so very flat. Time for a quick rethink and Flower soft to the rescue and I used this over the yellow vellum, a much better colour and the extra texture was just what this card needed to bring Dandelion Sprite to life :)

So cheerful and happy, I love this, Mimi! I love your soft coloring along with the faint sheet music background and the lovely sentiment. The fuzzy texture on the yellow adds so much and reminds me of the dandelion flowers. I love it! Thank you for the great inspiration today! Mitzi xxx
