Music Unlocks the Heart

Here again with another Valentine's Day card post.  This one is for my daughter.  As you can tell by the card she is a lover of music.  It is where she goes to escape the hectic pace of a teenager's life.
I made the background of my card with a piece of  a manila folder covered with Glue n' Seal and Melange Tissue Wrap...scrunched in places.  I combined Antique Linen, Fired Brick, Spun Sugar, and Walnut Stain Distress Paints with a few mists of water to finish my background.  My heart tag background is colored with  Victorian Velvet and Frayed Burlap Distress Ink misted with water.  The heart stamp is from Dina Wakley and I gave it some sparkle using the Rock Candy Distress Glitter technique found on page 55 of Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities Volume III,
I added a computer generated sentiment on distressed brown paper, a bit of Paper String-Brown Stripes,a piece of ribbon, a gold embellishment with a pink gem and of coarse a key to unlock the heart.

I wish to enter my card in the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge #21 hosted by the lovely Linda Ledbetter and inspired by Tim Holtz's book of the same name.  This weeks challenge is generously sponsored by Inspiration Emporium.

  2. This is a beautiful card - what a thoughtful mum you are. Loved the grungy tones. Loved the twined heart and the key and I liked how you balanced it at the top with the metal element. Nice arrangement of the music stamp and the glittery bottom half of the heart. Thanks for entering it into the Tic Tac Toe challenge at OCC.
