I love making my own cards, but never thought to add music to them. I've always bought pre-made cards if I wanted music in them. So silly of me, lol.

I like the Spellbinders Music M-Bossabilities embossing folder. I think that using a white core cardstock that is sanded after being embossed would make this card even better looking.

Embossing is one of my favorite things when making cards. So many choices and so few cards and little time to create.
