Sentimental Sundays–Inspired by Song

It’s once again time for the new Sentimental Sundays challenge. This week we are challenging you to create a card or project inspired by a song. (Don’t forget a sentiment).

My card was inspired by the song “Ice Cream” by Sarah McLachlan. I tried to push outside my comfort zone a little and use some different, brighter colors than I usually do. (My DD picked out these papers for me.)

Here is the video of the song I chose as inspiration.

I used a sketch from Chupa.

I hope you will play along with us! Stop by the Sentimental Sundays blog to get all the details!

Thank you for stopping by!
