Speed Craft Card

Thank you for calling in.

At Speed Craft Challenge this time the theme is 'music inspired'

Quite a few photographs today so here is the first one :-

This is the card I made and the story will unfold with the photographs

I was lucky enough to be given some photographs that belonged to my grandmother. Most of them were in an awful condition but I was able to work a bit of magic on some of them. This one was of my grandfather in his teens He was a professional musician and played violin, organ and piano for all of his life. For generations no one showed any interest in playing the violin until now when one of his great, great granddaughters has taken to the instrument and loves it. I made the card for her birthday.

Things assembled at the start and the time.

First step-the flash makes the background looked partly white but it was all covered really

I can't believe I had finished the whole card in about 7 minutes though I did know exactly what I wanted to do

I designed the flowers shapes in two styles-feel free to use them if you like

I printed mine onto some material that was cut from vertical blinds that were too long.

Just cut out the flower shapes and stick them on top of each other--I used my glue gun so that one  layer stood up a bit from the next. Also added a bit of glitter in the middle.

That's all for now. Have a great day all

Love Chrissie x
