For the background to my card, I printed out a sheet of music paper out of one of the digi packs I won over at A Bit More Time To Craft and then overstamped it with words from a Studio G mini stamp sheet.
The image is a decoupage sheet printed from The Best of La Pashe 2012, and the narrow band of music border across the page is from the same sheet. (Tip - the border wasn't quite long enough, so I cut it and lined up the two sides with the edge of the paper, placing the cut edges so they would be hidden by the image). I added to the "star" feel of it with a snippet of star paper left over from some Christmas card making.
I used deckle edged scissors to cut out the image, and kept the decoupage layers very shallow - with so much going on in the background, I thought thick layers of decoupage might be rather Too Much.
You can see how shallow I've kept the decoupage on this second image.
