Hey everyone! It's been a loooong time since I've posted but it's great to see all my old friends are still here!
I couldn't resist today's WT challenge to use music since I'm a music teacher and I doubled up with Monday's TLC to use ruched ribbon, one of my favorite things to do!
The dsp is overstamped with bg stamp musical score and sponged around the edges. My pretty flowers were colored with pool party, indigo and wasabi markers. It's hard to see in the photo but there is some PP sponged inside the nestie.
Don't you just love how the MFT doily die frames the nestie? What a happy coincidence!
Thanks for looking at my first upload in months! I can't wait to see what you've all been up to while I've been away!

Holly..welcome back! I've missed your lovely cards! This is gorgeous...everything about it is so pretty..the soft floral panel does look really cool with the doily frame behind it and that ruched ribbon looks perfect there (great color, too).

Holly, it is wonderful to see you back in the galleries.....and with a BANG! This card is wonderful with its musical theme. I really like the overstamping of the musical score over the DP. Your floral image has such a beautiful watercolored look.
