Vintage/Grunge

Today I have tried to move out of my comfort zone and attempted to do a Vintage/Grunge type card.
I am not too sure of whether it's any good or not, but I feel it's a worthwhile second attempt at this style.



I downloaded a sheet of music from the internet and tore, then distressed it with Tea Stain ink.
Then I two step stamped it using the new Raspberry Ripple ink and the good old faithfuls -
Early Espresso and Soft Suede, using the Greenhouse Garden Stamp set.
I layered this on an Ivory deckle-edged base card.
The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations.
Honest feedback please?
