I'll admit it: I'm a snob when it comes to music stamps, papers, whatever for stamping. The reason: I was a music major in college and I know too much! I hate it when a stamp or dp isn't musically correct; stems and noteheads going the right way, placed on the staff correctly, flute not held correctly (flute was one of my instruments). So I don't often buy music stuff. But this Club Scrap set is abstract enough that it is just fine and the sentiments are excellent. I combined four challenges today. I used canned air to splatter the alcohol inks all over the glossy cardstock for the MIX. As usual, I took artistic license with the sketch to enable the use of a sentiment. I used a recycled bit of cord and tied some knots for the WT challenge. I know this card has a lot going on but I like it because the stamps are all related and it kind of flows from panel to panel. I will try to get over my snobbery issue (but don't count on it).

You're right, there IS a lot going on here, and I absolutely love it! It was fun to really take my time and notice all the elements of this, and the quote is fantastic : )

Another flute player here ;-). The abstract look here is just wonderful, and the sentiment made me laugh.
The shapes in the main panel remind me so much of the Forum des Halles in Paris, where one of the music schools is, so this works on an extra level for me.
