Flurry of Love

This week the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club challenge is to be inspired by the lyrics of "My Favorite Things" from the Sound of Music.  Is there anybody who hasn't seen the movie with Julie Andrews and if you saw it could you possibly not love that song.  I doubt it! 

I was likely enough to see this as a Broadway musical in NYC, it was the first show I ever saw.  I was about 8 years old and my father took the entire family and I remember that I didn't want to go.  I didn't want to get all dressed up (everyone dressed up to go to the theatre in those days) and have to be on my best behavior.  It seemed like it would be worse than going to school.  So all five of us piled into the theatre and us three kids did our damnedest not to fidget while we waited for it to start.  But when that orchestra started the overture I was mesmerized and remained enthralled for the entire show.  There is nothing that can compare to sound of a live orchestra.  Needless to say I was hooked.  If I could go to a musical every night of the week I would.  But I digress...

This card was made with the lyric "snowflakes that stick on my nose and eyelashes" in mind however I hope that I have seen the last of snowflakes that stuck to anything of mine. 

The stamping and card construction is pretty much what you see is what I did.  What you might not pick up on is that the image is stamped on a cream (MFT) perfect panel with Memento "Rich Cocoa".

Here's the deets:

stamp - My Favorite Things - Pure Innocence "Flurry of Love"
ink - Memento "Rich Cocoa"
