DCD #154: Mardi Gras Inspired!

Happy Diva Tuesday!!!!  With Mardi Gras just around the corner, our challenge this week is taking inspiration from this festive Celebration!!!
Our challenge this week at Die Cuttin' Divas is called "Mardi Gras Inspired."  Make any type of project that is inspired by Mardi Gras.  Some ideas could be the colors, Masks, beads, parades, music, etc! So many possibilities. But remember, it must include some type of die cut on the project.
For my project, I needed to replenish my stash of Music Thank You Cards.  I have officially run out of music thank you cards and being a music teacher, my automatic thought for this challenge was to create something around that big band, brass sound! Love that big band sound!
My image is by Miss Kate Cuttables and is called Sounds of Music and can be found here.

Inside sentiment is by Inkadinkadoo called Thoughts of the Day.
