Welcome to the hop or you may have come from my good friend in Melbourne, Rachel Palmieri.
I received a request this last week to create a card for the organist at my church who was being recognised for playing for 25 years. This gave me the opportunity to make a piano card which I have looked at for many years.
The most complicated part to the card was drawing the freehand outline of the curve of the piano but it was so very easy, I then cut this out. With a strip of Basic White, I draw some lines down to create some keys and then I added some thin strips of Basic Basic on dimensionals to create the upper keys on the piano. Finally I added the sentiment and ribbon and it was finished.
Stamp Set: Flowing Flowers
Cardstock: Basic Black, Basic White
Ink: Real Red
Accessories: Real Red 3/8" Double Stitched Satin Ribbon
Inside the card
The piano keys
