I made my card for the Summertime Fan Club Theme Challenge. Using the song 'Summertime' as the central theme and my inspiration, I used a stamp called The Magic of Music.
Why a blue heart? In my city, we are now into the ten day celebration of the W.C. Handy Music Festival. Each year we celebrate the Father of the Blues as he was born here in 1873. There is great music day and night during this time, music of all kinds. I am happy to say I was be singing in this festival on Friday night.

Southern blues, wavy summer heat, song of the south - Benzi, you've got this one wrapped up in a beautiful blue package. I adore everything about this stunning and classy CAS! This is one of my summer favorites!

Oh Brenda, I love W.C. Handy's work! I DVRd Nat King Cole's Movie version on TCM in 2005 and still have it. What wonderful music and I wish I could hear you sing.
Your card is wonderful!

I almost picked that stamp up this morning for the WT challenge, but changed my mind. I love your card and how you colored the heart. Enjoy the festival!
