This card is so different than my typical style, but I was so pleased with how it came out. I've been dusting off some of my old retired stamp sets that haven't seen a lot of ink lately, and it's been so much fun. I love the look that the Musical Score background stamp gives to cards. I would normally look at that stamp and think it had to be stamped in black on white or vanilla card stock. But I thought just a tiny bit out of the box and embossed it with gold on black card stock, and the look is stunning. In fact, I went a little crazy with the gold embossing on this card, but I don't think it would look as good if I hadn't carried the embossing throughout the entire card. I love this card so much that I'm going to make a few more to send to the music lovers on my Christmas card list!
