As I started to make this I kept thinking of more challenges that this card would fit into. I used a copy of some sheet music for the bg (WT510)..the original would be too fragile to emboss. The bg was embossed then rubbed with distress inks. I added some leaves along the edge by stenciling modeling paste mixed with 3D paint. The flowers were stamped on watercolor paper and them painted using Red Lead artisan inks. My sentiment is a combo of different styles (MIX107). I have at least 3 elements on my card and more than 3 different inks (F4A260). Lastly my inspiration piece was this red flower . It was fun to make..thanks for taking a look ;)

Wow Polly this is fantastic. I love the music BG and the leaves added to the sheet but those flowers really just pop off the card. Thank you for playing in my music challenge.

Holy Smokes, Polly, we are talkin' gorgeous here. It's a work of art, that's what this is. I just looked at a video for red lead paint. Your flowers are killer! Wow, what a grand card.
