I recently purchased a couple home accessories....from The Shabby Chateau Etsy Shop. Donna's shop is one of my favorites and I love reading her blog because I get all kinds of creative repurposing ideas. So when I opened my box, I received a nice little surprise gift from Donna that I wanted to share. Being that I'm crazy about seashells & starfish & sand dollars...and blue, green, turquoise and aqua....it was love at first sight.

| I love the vibrant colors placed on top of the vintage sheet music. Such a wonderful combination. |

I love the Blue Starfish with the smaller green starfish in the background.  |
Such a beautiful collection. Almost too
pretty to use...so I will be saving these
for very special occasions.

I asked Donna to share how she made them. So here are her instructions:
"Let's see, for your cards I started with pre-made brown cards, then used some vintage sheet music I applied with a glue stick. The shell and starfish motif papers, and other papers I used were purchased in Maui when we vacationed there this past February. I like bringing things back from trips that I can use in projects. Then I used some "Diamond Glaze" dimensional glaze on the shells and starfish, and added some Martha Stewart coarse clear glitter".
So thank you Donna - for the lovely gift....once again reminding me why would I ever buy a store bought card again.

Music of the sea...... or a sea of music..... either way these cards are so creative and soooo beautiful.
The cards are so pretty! Donna is so creative.
These are definitely something that can be framed. How nice of Donna to send them to you and how nice of you to share them with us.
The cards are gorgeous..., I can hear the ocean!
Very beautiful, but then, how can you miss when you combine music and the sea.
Happy Thanksgiving!
