For my first card, I decided to pull out the Say it Loud stamp set that released last month along with the Very Vintage Labels No. 5 and Musical Backgrounds stamp sets.
I stamped the sheet music with versafine onyx black ink on white cardstock and stitched it to a red cardstock mat. Then, I stamped the label using Tulip ink from Close to My Heart and the sentiment using black ink. I die cut the label using a label 5 nestability die. (I love how so many of the Waltzingmouse stamps coordinate with Spellbinder's dies!) I added some crocheted lace and leaf green wrinkle ribbon. I tied a red button in the center of my bow with some hemp twine from Close to My Heart. The felt rolled roses were cut by hand. I used the Martha Stewart branch punch to cut the greenery and added some pearls to the centers of my roses.

Hi, Nikki, I'm interested in some items you have listed on your for sale page, but I don't use outlook express, so I don't seem to be able to email you> could you contact me through my email and I can let you know what I'm interested in? Thanks, Helen
What a beautiful card you made.
Greetings Astrid.
Breathtakingly gorgeous card, lovin' the colour combo and those flowers!
This is gorgeous, Niki. I love the musical background paper and coupled with the red and green accents really make this an eye-poppin' design.
This is such a gorgeous card. The ribbon and flowers/button really 'pop' against the background. It's fabulous. I absolutely LOVED the background on this card so I've used that as part of my CASEd card.
This card is oooh la la so lovely! Everything about it is just perfect and oh so elegant!!
