I have to say, I was VERY sad to cut into this paper pack. It's so gorgeous, I would love to hoard it away and just look at it, but the papers (all those music notes!) were so perfect for this card, I had to grit my teeth and make the first slice. I did, however, manage to incorporate the little pieces onto the back, so there was no waste of any of these beautiful papers!
Details:
 |
| The flowers were all made from cream cardstock and then "watercolored" with Distress Inks |
 |
| Did you know I actually play the flute? Not well anymore - but I was okay at it when I was a teenager. I still pick it up and make some noise (I wouldn't call it MUSIC!) once in a while. My oldest stepdaughter also plays/played the flute. |
 |
| The metal tag (it wound up a little to high up to tell it's a tag) is aluminium foil over cardstock. I burnished it very lightly with a bit of the black soot distress ink after embossing. |
 |
The stamp on the back of the card is a Stampabilities rubber stamp I picked up ages ago. I use it when I remember that I have it, which really isn't all that often! |

ReplyDeleteThis is an awfully pretty card! (is that an oxymoron?) I love the papers, as well! I have lots Pink Paisley paper that I pick up and then put down because it is too pretty to cut! (LOL) Your project is very well designed and executed I love the interplay of dark and muted and bright colors! Very nicely done! Thanks for dropping this off at our house at 613 Avenue Create. We hope to see you in the neighborhood again next week!

Beautiful card, your colouring in is fabulous. x P.S I wonder why we find it so hard to cut into certain peices of card or paper, it's so totally mad, but so understandable !! lol x
