Toy's Haven

Happy Thursday 🙂

I am going to let my inner geek out for a moment.   I love classical piano.   Mozart, Bach, Beethoven…especially Vivaldi.   I suppose it comes from days of my youth when my father would listen to the classics.   It could be worse, he use to listen to german polka, too!  At least I didn’t get hooked on that! LOL

There is something so powerful in a classical piano piece.   I like to listen to it loud, too.   Don’t tell my kids, though, as I am always telling them to turn down their music :).

So today’s challenge was to use crinkled cardstock in our project.   I started thinking about why someone would crinkle a piece of paper.   A note not written as intended?    The beginning of a novel?   A composer trying to perfect his melody? YES!

I stamped the piano image on the Graphic 45 designer paper and colored it.  I crinkled it up and sat it aside.    I slightly distressed a piece of close to cocoa by stippling it with Chocolate Chip.    I added some french script to the more mustard layer and stippled that with Chocolate Chip, too.   I layered it all together, used some sheer gold ribbon and added the silver accents.  Voila!

Here are my deets:
