I got the idea from a Somerset magazine article. What you do is take an image that you love and apply oil (I used olive oil) to it with a small paint brush. This process sort of gives it an aged semi-transparent look. When I placed it on the sheet music you could sort of see the sheet music coming through the paper.</div><div> </div><div></div><div><br /><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/2415543732_0b5b9f77c5_o.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/2415543732_0b5b9f77c5_o.jpg" border="0" /></a> Lori...
