Music Speaks - Graphic 45

Hi, Friends......

I am here to share a pretty card I made with some upcycled items. You might already know how much I love Graphic 45. I happen to be on their mailing list and occasionally receive magnificent brochures in my mailbox. They are waaaaaaaaaay too gorgeous to throw away, so I did what any thrifty papercrafter would do: I made a card with one of them! :) This one happens to be advertising their elegant "Love Notes" collection.

I also scavenged a beautiful gold embossed liner from the base of a bakery cake. This coated foil surface peeled away perfectly in one piece from the heavy cardboard the cake had been sitting on. I glued the foil onto cardstock and made a die cut for this card. LOVE!!!

Do you like the little birdie sitting on the foliage?  Awww....

Here's a shot that shows how I used the advertising brochure:

Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Graphic 45 advertising brochure
Foil from bakery cake base
Sizzix - Fancy Labels die set
Distress Ink in Walnut Stain
Verve - Sprightly Sprigs die set (retired)
Memory Box - Resting Birds die set
Flowers, Adhesive pearls, Satin ribbon, and Off-white lace from stash
Core'dinations/Darice kraft cardstock for card base


Hope you enjoyed my card today. Thank you for all your sweet comments. Don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE. Have a lovely day!!
