Hello and welcome to the Music Blog Hop where we are sharing musically inspired projects. I was visiting my Mum recently, she is living in a care home with Alzheimer’s, and a singer was entertaining the residents and one of the songs she sang was ‘You’re My World’ which was a big hit in 1964 for Cilla Black. I vividly remember my Mum singing this to my brother and I, she had a lovely voice and loved to sing. I made my card with this song in my mind.

 Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the you’re my world card. You will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Basic Black

 

Using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, I die cut the word W,O, R, L, D from the centre of the panel of Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper, making sure to keep away from the edges.

 

Taking the smaller Basic White panel, I placed it on my Simply Scored Scoring Tool and scored on the long side at 1” increments – so at 1”, 2”, 3”, 4” and 5”. On the short side at 1”, 2” and 3”

 

The scored panel was then placed onto a stamping platform and the large Watercolor World stamp lined up where I wanted it, I picked it up with the plate.

 

The image was inked up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down, I re-inked the image and stamped it again to get a darker image. The stamped panel was then glued to the Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Paper panel. The whole piece was mounted to the Basic Black card base with Dimensionals.

 

The word WORLD was then glued in place over the stamped image.

 

The word ‘my’ from the Best Family Ever stamp set was stamped onto scrap Basic White card in Calypso Coral ink. I trimmed it down with Scissors. I added it to a scrap of Basic Black card and added it to the card base with Mini Glue Dots.
