You Are a Classic

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I put together a fun music themed birthday card using stamps and dies from SugarPea Designs.  The record from the Greatest Hits set is my focal image.  I die cut the pieces from black, red, and silver cardstock, then used foam tape to arrange them on a white panel.  The panel was matted on red cardstock, then layered on to a black patterned paper panel from an older patterned paper pad.  After matting the patterned panel on red cardstock, I adhered it to a black card base on an angle.  The set's "classic" birthday sentiment was stamped on a red cardstock strip and adhered to the cardfront using more foam tape, overlapping the die cut record just the tiniest bit.  I debated adding some sequins or enamel dots, but in the end, decided to keep the image panel clean and simple with its gender neutral black, white, and red color combination.
