This is another take on a musical note card – like the birthday card I shared here, it has the same black/white/red theme, because why mess with something that works?!
This is definitely a clean and simple card. It’s great for sending a note to a friend, whether they themselves are musical or not! Once again, the Stamparatus comes to the rescue, ensuring that the images from Music from the Heart are straight. Stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then coloured with the Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker (this combination will ensure no bleeding of the stamped images). Shimmery Crystal Effects on the note because why not?! The Whisper White Note Card is a great size for this simple card.
I often think that the amount of thought that goes into creating a clean and simple design can be underrated. I know that as a cardmakers, we often think that “more is better” and that we need to be over the top in order for people to appreciate the hand-made-ness of the effort. Looking at some of the higher priced cards available in the stores, though, I have realized that a lot of them are of the clean and simple type, or featuring one main image, so as cardmakers, we need to be comfortable and confident when we choose not to overload our cardfronts.
Plus, lets be honest, once you’ve got the design, it’s easy to create/re-create a clean and simple card in a pinch! (#lazycrafter rules).
This Musical Note Card is great for any occasion (I’ve used it as a thank you card) but it could also be used for Valentine’s Day!
