Good morning, friends! So glad you stopped by. I'm here to share my Saturday post for Our Creative Corner. This week, Lori Rider is hosting and she has a lovely sketch for us to follow - it's sure to get your creativity jump started.
Here is my interpretation of the sketch. It seemed that most of the rest of the team had a die that they cut the edges with for the scalloped part. I have just one Punch Around the Page border punch but it's not the right size so I decided to go really shabby and just tear the edges. I thought a couple of weeks ago that I hadn't done that in awhile and jumped at the chance.
I started out with a square piece of music sheet CS and applied Golden Fiber paste fairly thin because I wanted texture but also wanted the music to show through. I used four filigree metal squares from my Etsy shop for the bottom layer of the four shapes. I white embossed them and then sanded the high points to give them a shabby worn enamel feel. The top squares are cut with Spellbinders Labels 1 dies, the smaller squares were stamped with Tim Holtz's Papillon set in Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs. The top square was stamped with a sentiment from Tim Holtz's Stuff to Say set in Victorian Velvet DI. The tiny tribud appliques and the hand dyed seam binding were from the Vintage Valentine's kit I had for sale earlier this month. There's actually one kit left hanging around in my Etsy boutique. Everything was glued securely down with Claudine Hellmuth's Multi Medium Matte. If you haven't used this stuff, you should try it. It is perfect for gluing down embellies as it dries clear with a MATTE finish - not a shiny one.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start. Be sure to stop by to see what the rest of our talented team is up to this week. And give the sketch a try - it's easy and fun!

All of your products are just wonderful Linda! Most excellent idea on the torn edges. I think that looks better than the scallop, personally.
Beautiful card yet again. You are the queen of shabby chic, no doubt.
