Inspired by a song...

Over at Glitter n sparkle this week, the theme is 

"inspired by a song"

so we would like you to create a card and let us know 

what song inspired you to make it...

 I was certainly inspired by a song for this card!

I was watching "the sound of music" while picking my image.... lol!

I used the eldeweiss image from the "Switzerland bundle"

over at Ikes Art.

Its a lovely set of images, including this edelweiss,

a swiss cow (wearing a cowbell!), a scene of a swiss

 cottage with mountains and cablecar, a swiss army knife and all its features

and even a swiss stamp!

It's a bumper bundle!

I also wanted to use the cow for a card - i printed him out, coloured him

(which took an age!) 

and then promptly lost him! :(

Oh well.

(UPDATE: 30 / 01/ 16 - 6:45pm...
 I just found the cow I coloured - in between my big shot plates!!! lol! )

I used my docrafts embossing folder, 

printed out the words of the edelweiss song 

and embossed and inked the edges.

Then I coloured the image with my promarkers and poped it some some

 3d foam to stand off the verse.

 Glossy accents finished the petals. 

A couple of die cut butterflies and

a punched butterfly finished this card.

 I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
