One of these is for the birthday of a man who plays french horn and loves music. I scanned a page from one of DH's music books with Beethoven's 5th and used Tim Holtz' 'Old Paper' to age it (also stamped it with itty bitty background). The horn is colored in with a Copic marker. Lots and lots of sponging (I don't think I can make a card anymore without sponging!!!). Some other 'tricks' I used: black CS for the strips behind the instruments because black ribbon was too wide; Used a black sharpie pen to blacken the cut edges of the black card stock so there's no white edges on the black CS.
