Anyway, today I have made one, and I've also been experimenting with a way to display it, using a little slotted paperweight that I used to use when I was working, to hold a document upright while I was typing something related to it.
I printed the music paper from The Best of La Pashe 2012. This is one of the most useful CDs EVER - even if you aren't a fan of the La Pashe style of artwork, the massive collection of background papers alone is well worth the price of the CD. I suppose now La Pashe is no longer selling them, it's going to become a collector's item so if you have a copy, take great care of it!
Apart from the music paper and the doiley, which I inked lightly at the edges, everything else came from my snippets box. I die cut the brushed copper metallic card with a Memory Box music die and the sparkly peach glitter card with a magazine freebie die. I was pleased to find eyelets of exactly the right shade of copper in my Cropadile box. Incidentally do those eyelets breed when we're not looking? I've had my Cropadile for years and seem to have used it thousands of times, and yet there seem to be even more eyelets than when I started! The final touch is a scrap of hairy yarn left over from my long ago knitting days.
