So, I was on this personal challenge to make a card using only items I had already on my desk (Lest you thing I'm a total slob, some things were in special holders for "rejects" that didn't make the cut for the card for which I initially intended them).I did a lot of distressing by crumpling, sponging, tearing, and the sheet music was spritzed with ink. The flower in the corner was die cut with the birds and blooms die then stamped with the flower from Bliss and a punched circle was added for the center.

Wow! What a wonderful collage card! I love the way you took all these leftover items and made them into a beautiful card! Love the piece of torn music score!

You have met your personal challenge beautifully! This is nicely arranged and so vintage looking. I like how you call these scraps of things "rejects". I have so many rejects and I'm trying to use mine, too. Use 'em or lose 'em. You have inspired me to keep trying. Your card is gorgeous. TFS
