My apologies for lack of commenting lately. As I was suffering from severe headaches for almost two weeks, I've tried to use the computer as little as possible, so I didn't make the headaches any worse.
A birthday card to share today, sent to a friend who lives half way round the world. She sings in a choir and music plays a big part in her life, so I wanted her card to have a musical theme.

The image and sentiment are both old wood mounted Butterfly Kisses stamps, which are well over ten years old. I coloured the image with Promarkers - the faces in the flowers are clearer IRL. I used Memory Box 'Stitched Circles' dies and a 'Stitched Country Border' die for the image, mat and border. The background was embossed with a musical embossing folder to keep the music theme.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A sweet and fun personalized card, just filled with the musical theme! I'm sure that your friend will love it!!

You were smart to stay away from the computer. Just the light can make your headache worse. So glad that you're feeling a bit better. Lovely card. I do like the musical theme and the singing flowers. The embossing is great. [Bunny]
