Feel The Beat......


Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. I'd just like to thank all my ladies who attended the Swarm on Saturday- we had a great time and a whole load of brill cards were created. Thanks ladies!
The first card of the week is a pop-up..for a guy this time. My No2 son plays the drums (or did until his older brother beat holes in two of his drum skins!)and he loved this card when I showed it to him. I used papers from the Imaginisce 'Live Loud' collection. The drum kit was cut from silver holographic card and black mirri. I cut the flourishes off the silver blackout portion and the cymbals from the black mirri portion. The two pieces were adhered together (with foam pads for maximum/permanent adhesion) then adhered to the pop-up section, again with foam pads but this time for added dimension.I added a star border ( a fab punch from EK Success) with the sentiment adhered to it and a star on the upright section with the word 'rythm' and a scattering of musical notes cut from black mirri. A tag was cut from patterned paper and black mirri and slipped into the side of the card.

The outside of the card was decorated with another star punched border matted and layered onto patterned paper and black mirri, and some punched stars adhered with foam pads.
Carts used:
Drum kit, 'Feel the beat' & 'rythm'- Quarternote
Star & tag- George
Musical notes-Joys Of The Season
Thanks for dropping by!
