El perfecto challenge - DH wanted a thank-you card since he is returning a clarinet he borrowed about a month ago, now that he's bought his own. I only have one stamp with a clarinet and I used that when he first borrowed the instrument, so this was what he picked out from all my other music stamps.
It's pretty much a re-make of an earlier card.
Base is 5 3/4, rust coloured Bazzill edged with gold EP. Brown layer is Basic Grey embossed with D'vine Swirl and a music ef, then embossed with black and gold EP.
Music Expressions stamped twice on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks. Second violin popped up on foam. MFT button stamped with a music stamp and sponged with Wild Honey. Woodware sentiment tied through the button with gold twine.

I'm sure the recipient of this card will treasure it. It's quite a work of art. The double embossing is fantastic and the popped image is beautifully done.
