I hope to find time to make a card with more than just a stamped frame, but in the meantime this has a frame within a frame, blue, music and a singing bird. I think I've covered most of the bases at the teaparty this week .
5 3/4" square base. White card stamped with Impression Obsession music in Broken China, then with Music Notes in Versafine Black to create a frame. Edges distressed and sponged with the blue.
Hero Arts image stamped on white card with Versafine Black and coloured with Broken China, Scattered Straw and Mustard Seed. Edges sponged with Mustard Seed, a little ribbon tag attached and then the panel was popped up on quite thick foam tape. Kind of CAS, simple but not exactly clean.
I am glad of two things -it may be an arty gathering this week but thank goodness we can bring found art, we don't have to create our own. And I can imagine that the way I am pronouncing Haeli is right because I am only guessing at it.

Fabulous card Sabrina! LOVE your musical frame and sweet tweeting bird! DH is wondering why I'm out of the blue singing Neil Diamond... but that's okay, I like to keep him guessing.

I LOVE this card!!! Your title was the first wonderful clue, then the awesome frame made from music notes - so much better than a traditional frame for this card - and last, but not least, one of my favorite Hero Arts stamps that just sings Springtime. Of course many of the Hero Arts stamps are among my favorites.
I can relate your being perplexed about how to pronounce Haeli's name. I substitute teach in the Middle and Elementary schools mostly, after retireing from teaching ten years ago. So now I don't know any of the students anymore, even though I taught many of their mothers and fathers and grandparents too!!! Anyway when I go into a new classroom, it's often a guessing game how to pronounce half of the names on the class roster and the other half there is no way of telling if it's a boy's or girls name. And kids pick up on that right away. LOL Anyway, this is a wonderful, wonderful cheerful card for a talented young lady in the sixth grade.
