Music Sheet Greetings Cards

Music brings us to life and can evoke many emotions. I collected vintage music sheets as the covers and sheets are beautifully designed. So I decided the create some unique greetings using original music sheets

I created these cards out old music sheets, to give them a second life
Music is such an important part of many peoples lives, it can portray emotions and inspire memories
What better way to celebrate someones Birthday than with a song that reminds you of them!

Collage Greetings Cards

I have always liked collaging, for these cards I wanted to play with perspective by incorporating objects of different scales to a background of a similar theme

I created these cards using images I cut out of old magazines
I wanted to experiment with scale and perspectives to create images with depth and charecter
They’re each completely unique and personal to you

They’re created using recycled materials, great way to use unwanted magazines and create something unique and beautiful!

How-to-guide:

Look through your favourite magazines and cut out a selection of different objects you like
Choose a background image and choose objects that fit with the theme
Place the different objects on your background, try to build up a story or theme
Play around with perspectives and scales to give it a twist
Once you are happy, glue them together
To ensure pieces do not unstick, apply a top coat of sticky-back-plastic or PVA glue
