This detailed stamp was a bit of a challenge for me. Sponging the background obliterated the details so I colored it with copics and pencils. Next I colored the keyboard separately and cut and pasted it on using glossy accents on the black keys. Then the grand piano was colored in pencils and fussy cut and layered on top. I used bitty backgrounds after stamping off about 3 times to grunge it a bit more. Fun to do but time consuming. The details are so fine that the musical notes are readable but my photo is not so fine.

What a beautiful work of art this is. Just amazing how you put all of this together with the cutting of separate elements. That image would be perfect for so many occasions and I just love how you have used it.
