Vintage Inspired Musical ~ Double D Challenges

It's the first Wednesday of the month so that means that Double D Challenges has a new challenge starting.  The theme for this challenge is "Music".  You could use sheet music, musical instruments, anything to do with music.  You can even let a song inspire you, just tell us what song it is.
 
I often lean on the side of "vintage" and this challenge certainly opened itself up to this type of card.  You'll see what I mean when you see the inspiration tile that Diane put together for you.

I used some beautiful Spring Meadow die cuts from K & Co., along with a printed background panel and some old sheet music from my stash.

Since the card base is on the darker side, I added a piece of white writing paper to the inside of the card, attached with a strip of washi tape, allowing plenty of space for a personal message.
 
I was inspired by all the sheet music and the pretty flower in the lower right corner.

How are you inspired:

I'd love to see your take on this challenge over at Double D Challenges.
Hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Such a lovely vintage design, Birgit! The torn edges of the background paper and focal panel really add an "old world" touch to the card. Cute lady bug and pretty flowers. Love the sparkle in the center of the flower.

A perfect opportunity to do vintage as you do it so well. You also kicked it up a notch with the opera theme. Lol These lovely and soothing flowers are a favorite on this card as well as the vintage papers.
