This was a fun card to make and not only because it was for my brothers 30th birthday but also because i was able to get creative and experiment a little with texture! So as i mentioned this card was for my brothers 30th and so i had to make something special!!! So i made it big and a pop up card :) and tried to add as much texture and dimensions as i could while still keeping it masculine looking...For the outer base I've used a brown textured card stock which i didn't do much too except add some metal corner embellishment to the 2 bottom corners of the card. I've then layered some music patterned paper onto a mat which i created by stippling silver, bronze and a little gold acrylic paint onto some card to give it a sparkly textured look.

| I also glossy accented some of the notes to highlight them and to also give more texture... |
 |
| i also made a book plate look a like by matting a metal embellishment onto the same brown card stock as the base of the card and added a brad on each side... |
 |
| The inside of the card was white card stock and i created a simple pop out section which i place to the left side of the card, I've then decorated some number die cuts with the same acrylic pants as i mentioned earlier matted them both on some more brown card stock and cut around them leaving a small border on the outside, i also added a brad on the top and bottom of each of the numbers to give it a bit of a tin/metal look. With the left over painted paper i punched out some stars and swirls i attached them to some jewelry wire and hot glued this to the back of the numbers kind of creating a fire work display when the card was opened :) |

| The back of the card i placed a strip of the musical patterned paper and did a little stamping and embossing....here you can see the dimension of the pop out part of the card... |
