This was not hard for me to choose - the Sweet pea set is my favourite, of the ones I own.
I have used a page from an old Hymnal, one that was given to me as it was falling apart. I have distressed the edges (which didn't need much!) and sponged them with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink.
The image has been coloured with SU Chalks, then attached to the sheet music at an angle. Recycled lace has been added along the lower edge of the image. I have cut the image and popped it up over the lace. to finish off a strip of pearls has been added to opposite corners.

ReplyDeleteHi Linda, another very pretty card which you are so good at doing. The music BG sheets seem to lend themselves to all themes and are indeed a great idea. Love the colours, and wish I had some in my garden. Love it, love it, and well done my clever Ozzie daughter.

Beautiful coloring. A gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, I love the antique look and I will need to get the "Sweet Pea" it is so pretty done up in your chalks. Great Display
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to comment on each challenge as I post my own, but I am going to comment on this one while I'm here, as it caught my eye on the way down to the Frames one. I just love sweetpeas - and what a perfect piece of music paper you found for the base. Roll on springtime, so I can see my sweetpea seeds start to germinate.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sweet Peas (I don't have that set yet...maybe I will be lucky enough to win it!)
ReplyDeletehugs,

Love the idea of using an old book of any kind for paper. your card is fab!
ReplyDeleteI love how you added the pearls and lace to your card. It makes it very antique looking, very nice!
