I have done ALL kinds of needlework in my 70 years but had never heard of "Needle Minders" - These little things are tiny works of art! (besides being quite helpful) I finally settled on this one as my inspiration.
I stamped my music then masked it and used a cotton ball to apply chalks in a light antique buff color to the strip. Die cut the rose and sponged a bit of Worn lipstick to the lower edge of the pink piece and used a white gel pen to give a bit more definition to the veins in the leaves. Stamped the sentiment on the bottom and added a trio of gemstones in the upper opposing corner for balance.
I really like this old sentiment as it can be used for SO many occasions depending on what gets stamped inside.

Linda, this is a gorgeous card. I love seeing musical scores paired with roses. Seems like a natural match.

You & me both, Linda! I'm guessing the needle minder thing may have been Victorian in origin. Those Victorians had an object for everything imaginable. I love your music theme w/ the single rose. Beautiful!
