Happy Friday friends. There's a new challenge starting today at CAS-ual Fridays and this time, we want to see music on your cards and projects.
I decided to make a Christmas card and I searched through my stash of patterned papers until I found something music related. I love the subtle musical note background on this paper. I trimmed my paper down and then took some embossing paste and added it through this gorgeous Flourish stencil.
I stamped my sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Snowy Sayings stamp set and popped it up on foam tape. I did decide to give my card panel a bit of roughing up by distressing the edges - this is something I used to do a few years ago but it's been quite some time since I've done such since.
I do hope you will hop on over to the challenge blog and enter something. You have the chance to win up to a $50 gift certificate to CAS-ual Fridays. Now that would make for a fun shopping spree.
Thanks for visiting and crafty hugs!

This is beautiful, Alanna. From the lovely subtle musical background paper to the fabulous stenciled flourish and the wonderful sentiment. Wow!! Excellent work! Hugs! Happy Friday!
A lovely card, I have that stencil too and never thought of using is as a focal point like this, it looks fab. Love that we're seeing some distressing from you here too, it's nice to change things up sometimes isn't it?
Also I have to say thank you so much for the card you sent, it was so unexpected! It arrived the other day and after a very long and stressful day at work it was just the thing to cheer me up, so I really appreciate it :) xx
very pretty! love it Alanna!
Beautiful and elegant.
I haven't seen you do distressing on a card, but really it looks lovely on this one. Very old fashioned and antique. I love that flourish in the middle! Xx
Gorgeous card! I love the flourish and the dimension the embossing paste gives it! Wow!
So beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration on this card. I love the embossing paste (and just happen to have some I've never used). This would be perfect for just about any occasion (with different background paper of course). Hugs!
Stunning card Alanna...love that gorgeous background and your use of embossing paste, so clever!
