CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog - CFC 137: Springtime Melodies

Welcome back!  It's time for another fun challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog!  You guys did an AMAZING job with the watercolor challenge!  I was blown away by the gorgeous creations that were posted.  Can't wait to see what you all create for the next round!  Speaking of which, here's the theme:

For this month's challenge, create something musically themed with spring colors.  I couldn't decide how to interpret springy colors, so I made two cards.  Here is the first:



For the first card, I thought about how flowers start blooming and the grass gets green again.  This is my first attempt at creating a bokeh background.  How did I do?  :)

Here is my second card:
 

This card was inspired by lots and lots of pretty flowers in a garden.  I used four different distress ink colors with a mask to create the bold frame.  I embossed the sentiment using my shimmery silver embossing powder. There is a fun surprise inside this card:



I used the musical note from Love Notes and stamped it on the inside of the card, using my shimmery silver embossing powder again.  I thought it was a cute touch.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!

Until next time...

  2. I love the first one with the varying sizes of circles, but how did you do the circles? Was it a stencil, was it sponges? cosmetic pads?

    1. For this card, I used a circle stencil that I created with my Cameo using acetate and varying sizes of circles. Then I used the mini Tim Holtz sponge tool to add the ink to the stencil. Hope that helps!!
