First I sponged the edges of the card very lightly in grey ink, then stamped assorted musical notation all around the outer area of the card, with the quotation positioned so that some of the notes partially framed it. Then I cut a black oval and edged the edges of both that and the base card with a Tonertex pen. When it had dried, I placed a sheet of red metallic foil over the edges and rubbed gently to apply the foil to the card. (You don't need a piece of foil that covers the card, I used a tiny piece - just move it around and reposition as needed).
I stuck the oval to the card, then added the die cuts - butterflies cut from red metallic card and the musical stave cut in white and then very lightly sponged at the ends in grey, to make the areas where it overlapped onto the white background stand out.
I'm sharing this card with:
Butterfly Challenge - M is for Music notes
Fan-tastic Tuesday - Use a die or a punch
Shopping our Stash - The Earth has music - and they have teamed up with
Words 2 Scrap By - The Earth has Music so I'm dropping in there for the first time too.

A really lovely card, Jane. You've used that fabulous music die again and just made it creep up towards the top of my wish list! ;-) xx
What a beautiful card Jane - and a great tip too about only needing a small piece of foil, rather than one the size of the card, thank you!
Great card for our challenge this week! Nice design and well executed! Thanks for accepting the challenge this week at Shopping Our Stash!

Fantastic . Love the splashes of the red metallic and that music die is perfect. I love how you have angled it across the front and coloured the edges just slightly. Thankyou for fluttering by #,28. Hugs Mrs A.

Jane,
What a lovely card! I was admiring the note-embellished designer paper and then read that you stamped that yourself. Wow! Well done!
Thanks so much for joining us at Words 2 Scrap By! We're so glad you did and hope you share your talent with us again. :)
Lovely card, with a splash of vibrant red foil. It is great when you can stamp your own designer backing paper. Lynn x
