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.

Nancy - I'm sorry I missed this beautiful card last week. I just found it by reading the favs thread. I love how you made a collage out of the one very detailed stamp. It does look like it took a lot of time, and you did a marvelous job. I love the piano/music theme. All my cards look better IRL too, but yours still looks fantastic.
