Songs & Rhymes Challenge - Ebony & Ivory


This week's Songs & Rhymes challenge theme is from this song:

Song:  Ebony and Ivory
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony 
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord, why don't we?

For my card I created a piano keys card by cuting white cardstock into 1/2" strips and the black cardstock into 1/4" strips and layering the white and black strips onto black cardstock.  I embellished using a CheeryLynn Designs die cut flower and flourish.

We hope you'll find inspiration in this week's theme and share your cards / projcts with us at The Songs & Rhymes Challenge.
