SS - I Got the Music in Me

Hels' Sunday Stamper challenge is Music. I have been humming and ha'ing all day about this one!

I knew I wanted to use the violin stamp (Judikins) but it was how to work it into anything sensible!

I started with a tag (for a change!) inked with scattered straw. I stamped the music (prima) in coffee archival ink and the violin on a piece of white scrap inked with scattered straw, (I think I used walnut stain for the violin), cut out and stuck on with matte medium (now I have 2 pots to use!).  At the last minute (I know I have all week to do the challenge, but you know what I mean!) I remembered the Tim music mask and took a DL sized card and wild honey DI for the base, and found this musician collage stamp (Stamp-It Australia) in a box. I added a philiosophy tag that says Listen, and added 'to the music' with my new dymo labeller I got today!

I have also made a birthday card today but can't show you that until I know the recipient has received it!

Great tag Helen! I have been debating gettin g some masks and after seeing your tag, I think I shall! I love all the TH stuff, but it doesn't always go with my "messy, intricate" style!! Thanks for your comment!!
