Perfect Harmony

A2 sized card.  All cuts and paper colors from Cricut Imagine More cartridge.

Mat 2 (striped) = 5" x 3.75"; paper found on page 38 of folder; edges inked with Tim Holtz "faded jeans"
Mat 3 (black) = 4.75" x 3.5"
Mat 4 (music) = 4.5" x 3.25"; paper found on page 38 of folder; edges inked with Tim Holtz "faded jeans"

Piano with frame = cut at 3" from Imagine More; page 9.  The single note layer had Glossy Accents added to it before it was mounted on card.

Layers:  "perfect harmony", single note and piano and mounted on a single layer of foam tape.

More about paper mats:

I cut a rectangle from stock images found on the Imagine.   Using the 2:3 rectangle, I set the size at 4.2" and then color filled with the paper colors I wanted.   From there, I cut the papers down to needed mat sizes (see above).

The edges of all pattern mats were inked with Tim Holtz "faded jeans".  

Also, I cut two of the piano & frame image.  One image was cut with all layers and one without layers.   The image without layers was added to the card first.   Then I added the layers I wanted to standout on top using foam tape.  

Layers added and mounted with foam tape:  sentiment (perfect harmony), single note, piano.   I used the double note on the inside of the card.
