This week we have a new challenge over at Colour Me...! where we are going monochromatic and using Crisp Cantaloupe - love this colour!
I started this card with a vague idea of what I wanted to do, but I have to admit that a lot of it came together as it was being created.
For the Bokeh background, I sponge Crisp Cantaloupe across a piece of white cardstock. Using my own template for the circles, I started sponging them in with white Stazon.
The "always" was die cut from a strip of cardstock, but once it was on the card, it looked too plain. I added a background using the Hardwood background stamp from Stampin' Up! All the gold was added at the end, just for some fancy :)
Come check out the challenge this week!
Thanks for stopping by today!
