Next, trim a panel of Bright Foil 10pt Silver Cardstock measuring 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

To coordinate with the card, create a handmade envelope using DCS Black Cardstock. Trim a piece of 12 x12 inches to 9 3/8 x 9 3/8 inches for a 5 x 6 1/2 inch envelope.

Using an envelope punch board, align the left side of cardstock to 4 1/8 inches. Punch and score on envelope score line A. Rotate 90 degrees, align score mark with envelope score groove. Repeat 2 more times. Round corners. Fold and glue.

Die cut a decorative clock element from Bright Foil 10pt Silver Cardstock.

Stamp, color and fussy cut a rose image. Add stamping and heat embossing of some music notes onto the front of the envelope.
