Is it Friday already? It sure is! And I don't know about you, but I love Fridays, especially Fridays that we have a great reveal over at Stuck On U Sketches. This week we were to create a project using die cuts that showcase the theme "in celebration of mothers." At first glance, you might have a hard time believing that is what my creation does, but this will be my Mom's card for Mother's Day. She always wanted to play a piano, and I know this will mean a lot to her. The inside sentiment says, "to say I love you very much and pray you have a wonderful Mother's Day." I hope you'll join us for this challenge! Here are the details of the card:
Size: Approx. 3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Card shape: Life's A Party Cricut cartridge (I love the cards on this cartridge.) As soon as I saw this shape, I thought of a grand piano. I ended up cutting the size of the card just a little after it was cut in order for it to work with the size of the keys.
Piano keys: George Cricut cartridge -- 2" for the white keys; 1 1/2" for the black keys (popped with foam tape)
Flowers: The large flower was cut using the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge at 4"; the three smaller flowers are Recollections flowers.
Yellow border: Fiskars border punch
Sentiment: Computer generated and punched using the Stampin' Up Word Window punch
I hope you like this card. I really like how it turned out! Be inspired!

Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!!! Your creativity is wonderful and now that you said that image reminded you of a baby grand, that's all I can see from that image!
