I had this in mind yesterday, but we have had a very busy weekend, my daughter was in a musical ensemble, theme of Pirates of the Carribbean, and it was fab! All the children played so well, and they looked so funny dressed up in their pirate outfits! Then yesterday evening my daughter's guide troop had a 'Race night', to raise funds for their trip to Switzerland next year. Needless to say, we lost a lot of money! Oh well, it's for a good cause!
So this morning I set to with my idea, and I'm very pleased with it!
I'm not sure what type of card the base is, but I bought it as a single sheet from my local stationery shop, but it's very thick, good quality, and has a mottled effect in the paper. As I wanted a slightly aged theme to my card I thought it was perfect. It also has a silky feel to it, so I'm going to go and buy a load more lol!!
Stamps used are Waltzingmouse Stamps Musical Backgrounds stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink, over a masked frame, which is from WMS Say it With Style. The frame is stamped in Walnut Ink Distress Ink as is the sentiment.
I was going to add some twine or a strip of ribbon along the side, but opted for two scored lines instead using my Martha Stewart scoreboard.
Inside I have also stamped the frame in Antique Linen, and added a sentiment 'With Gratitude' from WMS Peace and Plenty.
I'm off out to the cinema with the kids in a bit, so will have a good look at the other lovely entries and blog hopping when I get back!!

Very elegant card! I do like the musical background, and I'm so glad you decided to go with scorelines and not a ribbon! Have a good time with the children!
