Shakespeare Sonnets Collage Greeting Card

I have been experimenting with using old book pages to make greeting cards for a long time. Today, I chose a page from Shakespeare's Sonnets to make this card.

I applied a light coat of acrylic paint to the book page and used Craft Bond Rubber Cement to glue it to a blank card that measures 5" by 7".

I glued a piece of patterned decoupage tissue (DMD "Old World") to the book page.

I glued a piece of vintage sheet music to the right side of the card.

I used 2 small Victorian prints (reproductions) at the top and bottom of the card.

I applied the sea shell die cut (TC Travel from K & Company) to the center of the piece of sheet music.

Have you used old book pages for paper crafts or DIY projects? I would love to hear about it!
