Now on to the card:
I masked a square in the middle of the card, lightly inked two sides with grey ink and then stamped the music (an old Kanban stamp), gently dabbing a coarse sponge over the right hand (after stamping) side of the image before stamping, in the hope of making it look as if the ink was fading away towards the right.
The sentiment is from an old set of word stamps, I can't remember where they came from, with a piece of masking tape covering the words "to say" while inking the stamp.
The topper is layers of the same die cut, white, then black then silver. I added the black layer so that when viewed from a slight angle there appears to be a shadow to throw the music into relief.

This is tremendous Jane. The subtle inking on the masked square is really effective, as is the sponging on the stamped music. You have created a wonderful amount of dimension with the die cut music. Fabulous work. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
This is gorgeous, Jane - I love the dimension on that music die, it is really impactful combined with the soft inky background! I hope you had a lovely evening on New Year's Eve. Great to see you at Less is More, as always :)
Wow super cool and so pretty. That die is awesome. Thanks for sharing at AAA Cards! Jenny x
Oh I do like this Jane. Your inking really sets it off and gives a vintagey (is that a word?) feel.
Love how you paired the stamping and inking with the die cut.
