Piano Birthday Card

 
 

My friend is having a birthday soon and she is a wonderful piano player so I wanted to make this card for her.  I made this card once before for my daughter's piano teacher and loved the inside but wasn't wild with the outside of the card.  I was in a hurry and just didn't embellish it right so it looked only "half" done.   Then when I added my sentiment to the inside of the card, I felt it detracted from the piano look of the card and I didn't like that either so that card was a flop!  LOL.  Do you ever have those?  If you want to see my first attempt, go here.  Well, it's such an amazing file that I decided to try my hand at it again and this time I LOVE it.  I love to learn from my past mistakes and to improve on them.  I got my inspiration for the front of the card from here.  The piano card base came from Jennie Bean Crafts but I couldn't find a link for this file on her site anymore but she was making amazing files long before most other designers I have found.  Anyway, I love the polka-dotted paper on the black keys and the front of the card is much nicer this time.  I like how this one turned out!  To fix the note problem on the inside of the card, this time I tucked a tag under the keys and it is much nicer.   I hope my friend likes it!
