Guest Designing for Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge

I am lucky enough to be guest designing this week over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge. Stitchy Bear is there sponsor this week and with a theme of anything goes with the optional twist of music, I really wanted to showcase this violin image with a simple layout on my card.




Card Tip:

Now that I have a Brother Scan and Cut, I love the flexibility of having the ability to search online for a svg file for a particular shape and finding either a free version or a version at very little cost, it gives me so much more options for my cards. This was how created the small musical notes on my card.

Card Ingredients:

Card Stock: white 5"x7" card base cut down, Quill white card stock, DCWR green card stock.
Colouring Medium: Derwent Inktense Watercolour Pencils
Dies: SVG Cutting file musical note.
