StampinB 100th Challenge

A new Thursday brings a new Stampin' B's DT Challenge!! This week we are celebrating our 100th challenge, and challenge hostess Joanne says, "Strike up the band!" Her challenge to us is to create a project using something music related. I had the best time taking on this challenge and so, without further ado, let's meet my card. Ta-da!!
You probably can't take your eyes off my funky and fabulous felt bird, right? This sweet feltie was a prize I won at Get Sketchy last fall and comes from the cute Etsy shop Crafty Paper Girl. I couldn't wait to use it on a card, and today's StampinB challenge was perfect!

The sheet music behind my felt bird was taken from a vintage hymnal I bought last year at a local used book store expressly for deconstructing to use in papercrafting projects. And I was so pleased to dip into my droolworthy Pink Paislee Sweetness pad for the background DP.

Challenges that inspired this card:

• Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World: An Idea in Yellow. I was so inspired by the colors of this photo and picked up the bright yellow, pale blue, and dark brown to use in my card.
• EtsyInspired Challenge #128: to be inspired by the wares of the Etsy shop The Hidden Alphabet. I was inspired by the intricate damask-style pattern in this photo (and chose the DP that I used because of it), as well as by the bold frame.
• Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge: MMSC93
• OneStop Craft Challenge: Spring Flowers (in my punched borders)
• Stamptacular Sunday Challenge: Frames
• Paper Sundaes Challenge: Use a Charm
• Critter Sketch Challenge: Use a sentiment (mine is "Music" on my tiny tag)
• A Spoon Full of Sugar: Tag
• Tuesday Throwdown: Tag
• Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes
• Clear It Out Challenge: Anything Goes
• 4 Crafty Chicks: Stitching
  

I hope you've been inspired to play along with the Stampin' B's!! If you do make a card, post it on your blog or SCS gallery, and link it up to the Inlinkz tool on the Stampin' B's blog. We'd love to see what you create!! :)
