Does that ring a bell?

I certainly get a wonderful feeling each and every time I get commissioned to do a work. I get to know the recipients of my work, even without ever meeting them. It is rather gratifying to hear stories and it is the best source of inspiration for my work.

Today's card is a commissioned card. The recipient is an elderly lady that has served in the Handbell choir of a local church and whom will soon retire. I wanted to keep the card simple, but I also want to keep it to the musical theme. The background paper is from the retired Modern Medley DSP and was perfect for this card. The sentiment is from the Let your Hair Down hostess stamp set. The handbell itself was easily done using the Oval Framelit Collections. I was not able to pass on a bow, so a perfect one was put in place and easily done with My Bow Maker
I wish that lovely lady a wonderful day when they give her the card and I sure hope that she enjoys the card as much as I enjoyed making it.
