Three Muses. Music.


The challenge this week at the Three Muses is "music".  This is an artist trading card (ATC) featuring a vintage sheet music background, distressed and painted. A pressed Japanese maple leaf from my collection is adhered on top, with a bit of stamping and a transparency sheet covers the entire card, and is held in place with brads.


Sometimes in the autumn, the leaf colors are so intense, they seem to me to vibrate and I think maybe the leaves are singing - a leaf song.

  4. I hope everyone takes the time to enlarge your picture because it shows the lovely textures and, especially, the aged, pressed leaf. Beautiful artwork!

  5. Your ATC is exquisite and I am very impressed at your using a protective transparent layer to keep the leaf. Something I shall remember for another day! Great job.
