The song "With a Song in My Heart" was the inspiration for this card because it kept playing over and over again in my head.
I created the base card from yellow cardstock and layered it with aqua cardstock that was embossed with a musical score. To tie the color combination together, I selected a bold striped paper that I matted with bright yellow cardstock and used it as a backdrop to the sentiment panel.
I printed the sentiment “I love you today, tomorrow, always” on white cardstock matted with bright yellow cardstock. To add interest to the sentiment panel, I sponged it with aqua ink and decorated it with hearts. I attained further dimension by popping the panel slightly off the face of the card.
For the inside of the card I used white cardstock and adorned it with a band of the aqua embossed cardstock. I added a heart punched from the striped paper as a finishing touch. The panel was left blank for writing a personal message.
I made a coordinating envelope from heavy white cover stock and sponged an orange heart on an aqua and orange marbled background in the lower left hand corner.
