It took 3 challenges to inspire a birthday card for my DSL. LOL Oh well, whatever it takes, right?
I wanted to congratulate Rox for being QFTD last Friday. She is so talented and wonderfully shares her creations with us, as well as giving us wonderful directions!
I was inspired by this card of hers, although it looks nothing like it! The music finally gave me the idea for this card, and I like how she backed everything with black, and how she used a brad on the card! Also, inspired by her to do the music on the envelope. My DSL will love that as he sings, and composes! Here is hers: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
However I used this week's sketch (by Rox too) for my card design and Heavensent's Crazy Collage challenge to make a collage using at least 4 stamps.
I used Stampabillites Composer's Dream BG stamp with two different Stampabilities Bible verse stamps and also Inspired by Nature.
You know what they say, it takes a community to raise a child. Well it takes a SCS community to inspire me to make one card! Thank you all for your sharing your creativity!

Very pretty. I like the music in the bg and the sentiment. Don't you love that grass stamp? Like the papers you used. Great card I'm sure your SIL will love it!

Great, being a musician myself I can guarantee that he'll love it! I really like how you've stamped the grass on the bottom layer as well. Nicely done.
