Started off making my own dp for the Pattern Pizzazz. I didn't have the heart to tear pages out of my antique hymnal, so I scanned a page and printed it on Very Vanilla cardstock. It (plus the bg panel) was ran through cb embossing folder, and colored with sponges with Regal Rose, Bravo Burgundy, and Old Olive...I LOVE how it turned out and will try it again! The birds and sentiment are from Crafty Secrets' 'Bird Lovers' set, colored with markers and popped up over the leaves from Martha Stuart's foliage punch. Added ribbon as a panel from the sketch, plus pearls to finish. Thanks so much for looking and God Bless you for your comments!!!!

Wow this is incredible Angella. I just love the old hymn. I don't think I could tear a page out either. Love the detail you put into your cards. Such a great image you chose. Super job...

This is some awesome, creative work--the ribbon/pearls/foliage/music--they all come together with the great sponging/colors and image to make one outstanding little creation--adore this, Angella!

Angella, you have done it again. I so admire the creativity that flows from your soul and pours out in its own symphony of color and design. Truly, gorgeously, inspired. I especially love how you've copied and incorporated that page from your treasured hymnbook.

What a very cool idea to print your own music dp! I love your birdies here, just so pretty. Love you cb bg and the colors you sponged it with. This is so very pretty! TFS :0) Took another look, by cb'ing the music panel, it looks like it is on vellum. Very very cool!
