I made my own backing paper using the new Papermania music stamps, borrowed from my friend, Donna, I think I'm going to have to invest in these, and the matching dies at some point as I can see them being very useful, especially on men's cards. I stamped using Tea Dye Distress Ink, deliberately going for a splodgy look. I then went round the edges of the paper with Broken China Distress Ink to pick up the blue in the ribbon.
Inside the wreath, I used a piece of card which has been embossed with an inked music score embossing folder from Craft Concepts. The letters and numbers are Papermania cardstock stickers and I finished of with some small buttons and Card Candi in the corners.
