yesterday's post, I said I would be posting more small thank you cards with a different twist. Today's cards also use the Mat Stack 4 stamp and die but these have a more retro musical look.
By stamping the frame in a shimmery gold/black it gives a more retro, almost record player-like look. The circles in the mat stack kind of look like visual rhythms in a song or music notes. I prefer the mat stack stamped in lighter colors but do like the contrast it provided for this card. I used just a spot of red, with the intention of entering this into Susan's One Layer Wednesday challenge
here. I masked out the circle and stamped the lines from the PTI "Take Note" stamp set.
I curved the inside sentiment and added a musical note, leaving just enough room to add a short message.
My family has quite a few musicians in it...my aunt was a professional violinist, my grandma plays the piano and used to teach and my uncle plays drums...so it is nice to have a few music "notes" on hand! :)
That's all for today! Have a sunny Sunday! :)

What fun cards, and so appropriate for your family! One branch of my family was gifted musically...it's not the branch I grew on, LOL!!!!
Oh, I just love these and intend to try doing these little notes a.s.a.p! Thanks for the inspiration!
These are utterly darling Monica! I loved hearing about all of the thought you put into them - and had to smile about the record-player look :0) That really goes back a way!
