I'm absolutely loving the First Edition designer series paper! Wait, don't I say that every time I post a card using this paper? Oh man...

Anyways onto the card. The music notes, encyclopedia paper, flowers and pearls all tie together to make this card look vintage. The pearls are so easy to use, they come with glue on them so all you need to do is peel and stick! Easy peesy! To get the music notes straight, here's a tip: use a handle (yup I finally bought one, you can see why in this post) and also the wheel guide helps too.

No, I have not lost count. Attempt #1 is being set aside for a special purpose so I am unable to share it with you, yet. But I wanted to share attempt #2 with you. It did not turn out the way I had it pictured in my mind ahead of time. Although those rhinestones on the Real Red grosgrain ribbon are perfect!
