Musical Happy Birthday

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:
