Another Thank you card with a Musical Theme

I have another of the thank you cards I made to be used at my daughter’s violin concert on Saturday. After making the first one I decided to make the remainder of the cards unique but stick with the same few stamps. To create this card, I started by stamping the music background but in versamark so I could emboss with gold powder. I sponged over the embossing with three memento inks and added a few water droplets before stamping the winter-scroll several times.
Tonight my older daughter is playing violin with the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra for the first time. We are thrilled for her as you can imagine.
I have received many requests for a video tutorial showing how I do the snow covered trees and snow drifts. I will try to do something soon. With the big concerts over I may have a little more time. I do have several photo tutorials which cover these techniques if you want to check them out while waiting patiently for me to oblige!
Sponging Tutorial (Snow Drifts)
Supplies:
Stamps: Winter Scroll, Music Background, Gratitude (Penny Black)
Cardstock: Penny Black Mix & Match Olive Grove
Inks: Memento Pistachio, Summer Sky, Olive Grove and Versamark (Tsukineko)
Also: Gold embossing powder

Heather,
Beautiful work as always, I will look forward to those video tutorials when you can do them and watch the ones you listed in the meantime.
Congratulations to you and your daughter on her big news of playing with the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, that is a tremendous honor as well as achievement! I hope it is a wonderful and magical evening for all of you.
As ever, such a beautiful & elegant card. Very formal & just what I’d think would be appropriate for such a solemn occasion. How wonderful for you to have such talented daughters who are so honored in their fields of endeavor. Will be looking so forward to the video tutorials when you have the time (and not sure how on earth that you DO have the time!LOL). TFS
It is always a day brightener to get your new post. This is beautiful! It’s always fun to see what new technique you used. Love the gold music in the background!
Hard to imagine you used the same stamps…looks so different! Beautiful card Heather…TFS! Looking forward to the tutorials!!!
Paper Hugs,

You are so smart and creative thank you again for sharing it with the world and I am sure the world is looking. I love your style and have made some of your creations. You are a good sales person for Penny Black stamps. I want to buy some but Christmas……
Wow, this is so elegant. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! I am so happy that you are going to do the video tutorial for the snow covering and look forward to it.
Wonderful card.
