For Carla's "Beautiful Music" WTUI challenge this week - you'll be able to find the full details HERE.
Ha, I wanted to go more traditional, classical with my second card but didn't realise that I'd ended up making them both in such a non-standard format. SU stamp stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with a mixture of Inktense and Polychromos pencils, then heavily sponged with distress inks and spattered with water. I distressed the edges and sponged them again with walnut stain. Added SN clear glitter pen on the swan (yesterday, how lovely, I saw four swans taking off from the river as I walked to my bus after work), Stickles on the butterfly, white gel pen dots on all the swirls and a ton of tiny Liquid Pearl dots. Added it to a scored white base.

A rare minute to look in the gallery and I am lucky enough to spot your gorgeous card....wow, I just love the sponged bg with the water splatter and liquid pearls. Beautiful job coloring this very pretty stamp. How cool that must have been to see those swans.

It must have been thrilling to see the swans. I can almost imagine...your card is lovely. Especially how the instruments are spotlighted by the background.
