Glittered Vintage Sheet Music Roses

Bonjour Mes Amis!
You may have noticed that I love creating with vintage sheet music.  I know that many of you do, too!
So today I wanted to share with you the glittered roses that I've been making out of vintage sheet music.  Some of you might have seen my posts in the past about the roses, but thought I'd show them again for those of you who might not be familiar with them.
 While they are quite the time consuming project, they are so much fun to make!
 I've made all sizes, the largest ones are pictured here.  The smaller you make them, the more tedious they are!  I've used them to embellish everything from decorative tags, to Christmas decor, to candles.
 The possibilities are endless!
 Having fun with PicMonkey!  (which I love, by the way!) 
 I even made a garland of them awhile back, which I think looks so pretty!
 Here I've just displayed a few with some other loves of mine, a wonderfully tarnished vintage silver tray, and a mercury glass votive holder.
 I did a tutorial a few years ago on making the roses.  You can check it out here if you want to try creating some yourself!  I've since modified the way that I create them, I guess it's one of those projects where there is no right or wrong way of doing it! If you do make some yourself, I'd love to hear about it!

 Ok, here is a little sneak peek of a project that I just finished, using the roses.  I'll share it with you next week!
Happy creating!
Linking up with the following great parties:

  9. The Paris tags that I ordered from you a few years ago have those beautiful sheet music roses on them. They are permanently on display in Emma's room. So very beautiful.

As soon as I close I'm going back and adding you to my front page blog-list . . . then I'll never miss a single post :)

  16. Hi Donna, Yes, I am in the mood for decorating and your projects are gorgeous. I love the sheet music flowers and they remind me of my vintage dress pattern flowers. These turned our wonderful. Love the candles too and I just finished a post for Friday sharing some accenting candles. We are thinking along the same lines.

    Love the wreath and going on to that post too. You are so talented my friend.

    Thank you for stopping by and your kind comment.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie
