This is not my usual style of card, no copics or embossing folder. I used a stamp from a friend and stamped it and then I noticed there were some musical notes on the image. Since son #1 has a birthday next month and because he has a minor in music I decided I would make him a card and submit it to Seize the Birthday.

First I stamped some stripes on the image using two colors of distress ink using a stamp from MFT and then gave a spritz of water. Next I stamped happy birthday on the side of the image and adhered two adhesive stars. This image was mounted onto black cs. I found a piece of vellum sheet music and I photocopied it onto neenah paper and trimmed it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and attached it to another piece of neenah. The main image was mounted at an angle, I trimmed the corner and mounted it. This is a wonky-type card for me but I am sure my son will like it although he may comment that the notes are both right side and upside down. The stamp image looks like an old report card and the musical notes probably refer to a grade in music.
