Wings of Music

Distressing:

1. Cause (someone) anxiety, sorrow, or pain
2. Take a perfectly good piece of card or paper and rip the edges to make them look like you and your dog had a tug of war over it. You can go over the edges with ink pad or pen...usually a brown shade, so it looks like the dog won and buried it in the garden.

I chose to follow my friend's ( Lin ) definition, that is definition 2.

Fabulous image is from Clearly Vintage and sentiment was found using search engineer ;) It was anonymous. Vellum was used as a lace photo frame. It's a little bit funny how rarely you actually use vellum, although it's wonderful material!

Music sheet is from Edvard's Grieg's Peer Gynt, Morning Mood. Beautiful, so beautiful piece of music.  Then I stood there, staring at the paper and thought, this really doesn't look old, does it? It was composed between 1874-76, but it wasn't enough ;)

Few drops of strong coffee and some tissue paper, and here we can see the result of it. Sorted. Then pieces just came together and true, I had lots of fun. I was aiming for peaceful Victorian era colours and a bit of romance.

Sentiment says: 

Between us there are many miles
But, separately, we can share our smiles
Although not physically there, it’s true
On the wings of music my heart has travelled to be with you 

I hope my new creation ;) fits to these challenges.
