since i had everything i needed to make my own, i couldn't resist using it right away on a card and i just realized i never shared it here!
i ended up using pages ripped from a music book my husband had from Bible college instead of a vintage children's book like she used, but i love it just the same--maybe even better. you could easily find a book to rip apart for cheap at the thrift store if you don't have any to spare laying around the house.
if you use pages from books you won't have to worry about getting inky fingerprints all over your projects like you would if you use newspaper.
i take an xacto knife down the page close to the spine and can get a clean cut through a dozen or so pages at a time. then use my Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Giga Scalloped Circle Punch for the layers.

of course, this information is useless if you don't have one of those super fabulous punches.
but i don't want that to cause you to miss out!
if you're interested, leave me comment and i'll pick a random winner to receive enough scalloped circle punched music note sheets to make 3 flowers.
ahhhh, let's make that FIVE random winners. :)

since I have given all my punches away, I would love some punched out pieces! no, don't ask. sigh.
ReplyDeleteMarvy punches are my favorite and since I don't have this one---would love to win one!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute, Tania. Yes, the Prima ones are gorgeous but this would be so much cheaper :)
ReplyDeleteI too just love how they look and homemade is always much better than brought...all that loving that went into it.
ReplyDeleteYes, Marvy punches are my favorite and I don't have this one..would I be lucky enough to win?!??
