This is for Lisa's fun Ways to Use It challenge - Music Moves Me.
Lisa wrote of her incredible musical skills, it reminded me of my primary school days. I had the most wonderful music teacher, she knitted me (and a bunch of other tone deaf kids) special little sticks to hit the triangle with..... hmmmm....
This is for a girlfriend who is a music buff but isn't really into flowers and ribbon, so I used grungy stringy raffia and green flower. The flower was massive, so I pulled off petals until it was a size I liked.
Thank you for looking.

This is the most awesome card - the black and white together is stunning, then the addition of the green flower and rafia against the grey panel wood takes it to the perfection level. Love this, tfs

Knitted sticks for the triangle - good grief, whatever next! I loved the triangle when I was in National School.
I'd never have picked this card out as one of yours. I bet your friend loves it, I know I do. The lime green against the black and white just sings.
Glad to hear someone else overhauls bought flowers. Sometimes I take the center out and replace it with something flatter for mailing. Very nice card. I've been thinking about getting that Happy Birthday die. Lots of possibilities.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Good Lord, this is another one of your fun stories of former childhood days - hitting a triangle with a knitted stick, huh?
Love how you worked the keyboard into the areas around the HB die cut! Love how you accommodated your friend by toning down the flowery look - this is amazing@!

Another exceptional card, Susie. From complex to CAS, you excell at all styles. The 2 tone " happy" looks great. The rafia and greenish fLower are so eye catching.
