I've just finished a knitting project and am mailing it off this week. The recipient plays the piano - but she's already had a card with my Penny Black piano stamp, so she's getting a flautist this time.
5 3/4" square base, sponged with Weathered Wood.
Background is Impression Obsession stamped with Versafine Black and distressed with Weathered Wood and Scattered Straw, then stitched.
Penny Black image stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks - Soot Black, Antique Linen, Spun Sugar, Pine Needles, Old Paper. I used a silver pen for the flute and music stand. It's cut with a square Nestabilities and sponged with Weathered Wood and Antique Linen.
Sentiment stamped with Versafine Black, cut with Labels 4 and sponged with Weathered Wood and Antique Linen.
I made 3 little ribbon flowers from some printed twill and added black foliage cut with a Spellbinders die. The centres of the flowers are brads with some Stickles added.

OH...MY...STARS! LOL....I'm "aloving "this card! It's perfect.
The flautist is fabulously colored, the flowers are fantastic [musical fabric, just too clever] and the background is beautiful....[I'm into alliteration today.] No kidding...this is just the most adorable card. I'll bet your musically inclined friend flipped out when she opened it!
