Challenge 16 at The Library Challenge

Hello!  I was inspired by Challenge 16 at The Library Challenge to design this card featuring a digital image of a piano by Lauretta's design that I had in my digital files.  The challenge is the book Oscar by Mauricio Segura about  the life of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson' - the 'maharajah of the keyboard' .  Therefore my card features the Piano printed on White CS that I colored pink and then sponged with DOI Peeled Paint to give a distressed look similar to the look on the cover. I added 2 strips of CS with some musical embossing picking up other colors on the book cover.  I stamped a sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers with Black ink that was appropriate for the card.

Since I had printed the piano twice, I decided to make another card using a white background with a pink piano on a card base of black CS.  I added a sentiment from Raindrop Echo designs which seems to describe the music of Oscar Peterson.

Other challenge to enter:
Power and Spark Challenge: Hitting the books. Get inspired by anything related to books.  This card fits the challenge since I was inspired by the book Oscar. Sorry I did not use any Power Poppy stamps. 

For fun I have included some music "All the Best" by Peterson.  Click on the arrow to listen:

           

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
