Besides theater, our recipient Annie has been involved in chorus all her life, too. I bought the French Chorus stamp more than 30 years ago because it made me think of all the years I spent singing in both the Tucson Symphony Chorus and El Paso Symphony Chorus. (sadly it rarely sees ink . . .)
I stamped and added just a bit of color with prismacolor pencils then framed with red. The flourish was stamped over the bg in metallic blue.
Music always brings joy to my life no matter what else is going on, so I pulled out a Unity sentiment that reflects that. Finished with a few red sequins for a bit of whimsy.

What great stamps you had to create this singing memory for Annie! I really like the red you used in this..it's a great accent to the blue and white.
I didn't know you sang in those symphony choruses ....that is so cool.

What a great stamp. Yeah, you really do need to pull it out more often. I can see a whole bunch of Christmas cards featuring that one. And it looks super here with the blue notes as bg and the bright cherry red framing. Fabulous card especially for a choral lover like Annie.
Wow, you have had some great experiences. How marvelous that you performed with those choirs. Brava!

What a great stamp to have in your stash! I love the musical fourishes scrolling across the background. Love the sentiment, too!
