### Materials
- **Background Paper**: Choose a paper with a musical note design or a page from an old music book.
- **Additional Paper**: Select other types of paper or ephemera with vintage designs, patterns, or textures.
- **Art Mediums**: Gather ink pads, gesso, or acrylic paints for distressing and coloring.
- **Adhesives**: Use a combination of glue, double-sided tape, or mod podge.
- **3D Elements**: A faux rose or other flower for a dramatic focal point.
- **Decorative Detailing**: Consider lace, washi tape, stickers, stamps, or any other embellishments from your craft collection.
### Steps
1. **Prepare the Base**: Begin with your musical note background. If you're using an actual page from a music book, you might want to reinforce it by gluing it to a thicker paper or cardstock.
2. **Edge Distressing**: Carefully tear the edges of your background paper to give it a rugged, distressed look. You can use a distressing tool or the blade of a pair of scissors (carefully!).
3. **Ink or Paint Application**: Apply ink or paint to the edges of your paper to enhance the distressed look. You can use your fingers, sponges, or brushes to blend the color inwards, creating a gradient effect or just highlighting the distressed edges.
4. **Layering Additional Paper**: Tear or cut pieces of your additional paper with vintage designs and glue them onto your base to create layers. You can place these in the corners or at the sides to frame the page or even overlap them to create depth. Remember to also distress the edges of these pieces to match the overall look.
5. **Applying Art Mediums**: If you'd like to soften the paper layers or integrate them better into the background, consider brushing over them lightly with gesso or thin white paint. Allow each layer to dry before adding the next.
6. **Adding the 3D Element**: Take your faux rose or chosen flower and decide where it will make the most visual impact on your page. Glue the flower down securely, considering the use of stronger adhesives or even a glue gun for a durable bond given the flower's three-dimensionality.
7. **Incorporating Embellishments**: Add additional decorative details like lace trim, stickers, washi tape, or stamps. These should complement the page's aesthetic and theme without overwhelming the main focal point, which is the flower.
8. **Inking & Shading for Depth**: To create depth and make your elements pop, you can use ink or fine markers around the edges of papers and embellishments, especially around the flower, to cast shadows and give the illusion of depth.
