Musical Chipboard!!

I'm still on the theme of Thank you cards I'm afraid and punny sentiments too! 
I decided to play along with the Chipboard challenge at CASual Fridays this week with this card I've made......


I have to say it looked better in my minds eye... I think the sentiment could have been stamped better too!
The musical notes are die-cut from chipboard, coloured black with a promarker and then had the star treatment with glossy accents :)
The stave is created using the single line stamp from Lawn Fawn "School house Backdrops" which I shaped on an acrylic block before repeatedly stamping .



I'm also entering this into Young Crafters Unite Challenge#5 'Clean and Simple'


I've been out with Hannah in the car today as she has her driving test coming up next month so we are using Hubby's little 'runaround' to get extra practice sessions in alongside her proper lessons, she is getting on really well and it's nice to be driven but very hard to relax and sit back whilst  remembering not to pass on any of my bad habits too!!

It has also strengthened my views on the fact that James will certainly not begin learning to drive a car for quite a while yet! He will be 16 next week and since Hannah has started to learn he thinks he will automatically get behind the wheel when he turns 17.... he has many issues to overcome before this happens, some of which will never change but as they say...... never say never !!!

Thanks for your visit today and catch ya again soon :)

  5. what a super clever idea for the stave! and of course the gloss on the notes is awesome. Shiny is good ;)
    I can relate a bit to your driving, um, anxiety? since I've just got my learner's license in August last year. It's not easy to teach, or easy to learn, with someone you live with!

  11. This is just so clever. I like how it looks, and thanks for the tutorial on making the stave. I'm not much for punny sentiments, but always like the ones involving 'notes'.

  17. Great sentiment and the notes are so glossy! Great idea to make the musical stave! Fab!

    Good luck to Hannah - so long since I did my test!! My Ben wants to learn to drive too - he's 16 on Friday - and really keen on a moped. Fortunately both Ben's father and I think this ia a really bad idea!

  18. Brilliant! The stave is fantastic and the shiny notes are gorgeous. You're a good momma taking your daughter out! My mom refused - said it would be a one way ticket to a blow out argument. Lol! She was probably right. :)

  24. That stave is brilliant Jenny and adds so much dimension to your one-layer card. I'm glad Hannah's doing so well with her driving. Wouldn't James rather stick to the washing machine?!! Vicky x

  25. Super fun card. Love the wavy music lines and the gloss on the notes. Well done to Hannah with her driving. I don't know if I'll be able to sit with mine when it's their turn. Likely to have white knuckles and my knees up to my chest!! x

  28. Fabulous card Jenny - such a brilliant idea to curl the straight line stamp! Best wishes to Hannah on her driving test next month, I'm sure she'll sail through it :) I dread when our Lydia starts driving....more for the cost of insuring her though! Sarah x
