Advent ATC 13

December is Advent season and for day 13 it is "Joy to the World"

Music staff print paper
Joy to the World rubber stamp
teals and browns
micro thin decorative tape with same teal color

The stamp was a gift received 2 days ago from an awesome and very thoughtful crafter/blogger. She also sent me one of her hand-crafted Christmas cards with a personal note written inside.

This rubber stamp is from Unity Stamps. Doesn't it look like it is on an ornament?

The teal music print paper is from The Paper Studio by Hobby Lobby. The 2 different brown papers are from Colorbok. Deco tape is by Jot. The number stickers were part of a scrapbooking kit purchased sometime in the past 6 years. Black dye ink pad is part of the Studio G line by Hampton Arts.

Constructing this ATC I tweaked the "rules" by enlarging the overall dimension. The top cinnamon brown paper layer is the correct size for an ATC of 2.5" x 3.5". But due to the size of the stamp, I felt like I needed to lengthen and widen a bit more with another bigger base layer. So there is the chocolate brown cardstock bottom layer.

The diamond was quickly made with a stencil from the Folk Art Decorative Icons set by Plaid. Ruler, pencil, and black marker completed this quick to make ATC.

Keep checking back as I make more with different themes to celebrate this Advent.

using music for cards

The RCC 7 challenge is over but I wanted to use music for a thank you card. So here's how it was used as more of a background element:
