Music teacher- Thank You card

I made this card for my daughter's flute teacher. I realized...when she goes away to university in September...she won't be here taking flute lessons? I know that should be obvious, but I actually kinda forgot. Anyways...I thought I'll have to make her a special card this year and get her a nice gift. This is the card I came up with. I love how it turned out.My daughter's fav colour is purple...so that's the way I went with it. I love the cricut cart I used to make it too. It has a great font and some really pretty designs.
