I was asked to do a Birthday card for someone who loved all things West End Musical/Broadway. All I knew was that the Phantom of the opera was her favourite musical. I have got to say of all the cards I have been asked to make, this one was the most difficult! It was knowing where to start! I love musicals myself but what is my idea of the perfect musical might be someone elses' living hell!
But anyway....... I got to it! This is what I came up with....
It became a case of looking for images that I could use. The backing paper (the orange lights) is actually a picture of the lights from Broadway, but I loved how they were out of focus. I then used the mask from the Phantom and the hat from Chicago as the other musical references. Finally the 'clacker' (I'm sure it has a proper name, but it escapes me right now!) was printed, and the recipients name popped on for the personal touch. I used one of my new Spellbinders dies for the sentiment and then just added some last touches from the crafty stash! Hope you like!
The person who ordered the card is thrilled with it, which is lovely!
Have a great rest of your day everyone whatever you are doing! xx
