Musical Backgrounds
A set of musical bars and notes designed to help you create sheet music backgrounds, in a scale suited to your cards, in any colour you desire, no more cutting up precious old manuscripts!!
Use these stamps to help you create stamped backgrounds, tags, stamped flowers, all sorts of accents for your cards throughout the year.
Featuring musical notation in a few different sizes as well as a piano keys stamp and a pair of 'reverse' stamps that will allow you to print solid panels.
You should be aware that the 'reverse' stamps are very solid and will work best with the fun foam/mousemat trick to get
your image nice and solid. Simply place a piece of thin fun foam or an
upturned mousemat under your cardstock before stamping so that you get a
good solid impression. The best ink for this sort of stamp will be something like a Versacolour, looser inks such as distress inks will not give a solid smooth covering but a more mottled aged affect, which might be just what you are looking for!! Best plan is to try it on scratch paper first!
Also the smallest scale music stamps are very mini!! I wanted them to use on mini tags etc and so the music backgrounds you produce with these will appear as a pattern, you won't want to try playing any notes on your piano from these!! you might give yourself a headache!! My daughter is going to use them to make music books for her teddies!! lol, but they'll be grand, they have wee beady eyes!
The piano keys stamp is just under 6 and 1/4 inches in length by 0.6 inches in height. The tiny scaled music stamp is just under 2.5 inches long and just over 2 and 1/4 inches tall.
