The Three Muses - Music

The Three Muses has the theme of music this week. I have used some of the background paper I dyed a couple of weeks ago using natural foods and plants. I stamped it in Ballet Blue (Stampin' Up) with my sheet music background stamp. The purple crinkled paper has been dry embossed using a cuttlebug music folder. This paper was made by my very talented friend Laura.

This is an ATC. The dancer was affixed digitally.

    Faye, your ATC is exquisite. I love everything about it - the beautifully coloured background, the purple confection which adds an extra dimension and that gorgeous image. Everything PERFECT. Great work.

    What a lovely image Faye! Is there anything more elegant and graceful than a ballerina? I get season tickets to Pittsburgh Ballet Theater every year, it never ceases to astound me what dancers do with their bodies, they are super-human! Thanks for your beautiful tribute to ballet.

    This is lovely Faye. It reminds me of being a child and practicing ballet at home! Great memories.
