Here's my card for the hop! I was inspired by a tag on Pinterest!
For the front of the tag I have used Vintage Backgrounds Flora & Fauna and also Postcard & Music. I white embossed the Music sheet on the bottom layer and used Stormy Sky distress ink on top of it. Then I stamped the Flora & Fauna stamp onto some Maja Design paper in Stazon Dove Grey. Don't you just love the little cherub!
You can kinda see the embossing on the picture below. The little Shabby Bark Heart is from Live and Love, Crafts. 
I used some Magnolia Doohickey wings at the top with some WOC flowers and vintage seam binding to tie the tags together.
On the inside I stamped the Music sheet on the background with Stazon Dove Grey and stamped over that with one of the new AMAZING sentiments from set 63 Quotables - Go For it!
All the edges were distressed and hit with the Ingvilde Bolme chalk edger Dark Bark.Don’t forget to stop by the Ideas to Inspire blog tomorrow evening when you can find out who the lucky winner is of this fantastic prizeEnjoy the hop… and good luck!
Hugs, Dena
