Are you ready to rock? Or are you a fan of something more mellow, more alternative, more classical? This week's Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential #11 is 'The Music of Your Soul':

The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to create something with the music in your soul! What do we mean? What is your favorite style of music? Is it country, rock, opera, Christmas music, or the oldies? Whatever your "music style", show us what it is on your creations! eg: Use a cowboy image for "country music", etc. Perhaps you can just create a "musical masterpiece"....just get creative with it!

I'm a fan of many different styles of music (it might be easier to mention which styles I'm not a fan of), but the ultimate to me is the music of nature. I'm not quite sure what a singing mouse sounds like, but Amanda House Mouse is just too cute acompanying her blue bird buddy!

Sketch inspiration this week is Midnight Madness Sketch #31. I didn't realize until after completing the card that the challenge also included the bonus challenges of using a winter theme and creating a coordinating ornament. Lucky for me, the 'Let it Snow' theme also fits with this week's Simon Says Challenge! So, I went back to the image, stamped in snowflakes (highlighted with my trusty glitter pen) and added Dazzling Diamonds for an icy effect on the stump:

The ornament is actually a modified version of a freebie from Archiver's. It was passed through a Wizard with an embossing plate to create the swirl texture, then sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I added the center with sentiment on the same musical background used on the card:
