Music The Rehearsal Card

Created this Music Card using StitchyBear digi, The Rehearsal.

Used Cuttlebug keyboard embossing folder. Inked the inside of embossing folder before inserting the white cardstock to get the black keys. Trimmed the part with the keys to attach to card base of white cardstock. Trimming this gets rid of the parts of the white cardstock that got some black ink on it that were not suppose to be inked.

Stamped the sentiment " Take life by the hand and dance" on ribbon. I thought the lightness of the stamping complimented the skirt part of the dress the dancer has on in a whispy (I made this word up) way.
