I found myself playing for some hours on my computer trying to design a 'music tree'. If you look carefully you will see that most of the leaves (and the trunk) of the tree have musical notes and symbols on them. The tree was printed onto the middle of the card blank so that half the tree is on the back of the card. The sentiment is computer-generated and printed in the same colour.
I found an image of the sheet music for one of my favourite pieces of classical music, Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, online and printed a section of it firstly onto plum cardstock and secondly onto rose cardstock. I die-cut the two butterflies and mounted them, centres only, onto the card finishing with some white pearls.
I love how the card turned out and really enjoyed creating something a bit different!
I would also like to enter it into the following brand new challenges to me and thank them all for their great inspration:
