Spring Music

 Hi, and welcome back to my blog.  Before I explain anything, let's take a look of my card.


This cute violin image reminds me of a couple pieces of music that has Spring in its title, Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Beethoven's Spring Sonata.  I thought this makes perfect sense for Die Cut Diva's March challenge theme: Spring Is Coming.  Thus the birth of this card.  

This cute violin image is from the Gina K. Designs' Note Of Encouragement stamp and die bundle.  

Gina K Designs, our March sponsor is giving a $25 gift card as the challenge prize.  So don't wait, take your favorite supplies out and play along.  Make any paper craft project(s) for the theme: Spring is Coming (do explain the reasoning of your design), use die cut and/or dry embossing to qualify for the draw.  If you're on social media, use hashtag #diecutdivaschallengeblog so we could find you in the future.  To link up, click the "monthly challenge" button on the right sidebar on Die Cut Divas.

  After I've created my card, I wasn't done.  I went ahead and make an art journaling page with a window.



The quote "Spring: the music of open windows" is by Terri Guillemets.
