Thinking of You! VERVE VLVSEP01



This card is for today's SCS Inspiration Challenge(IC195)! Thanks, Anne for hosting!!! Our inspiration site is "Creative Wall Coverings. " As soon as I saw wallcoverings, I thought background stamping. I used two inspiration pics for the backgrounds and one for the focal image.

Here are the three links to my inspiration pictures.
ONE, TWO, THREE.

Also, want to give a shout out to Julie(juliemlacey)for the wonderful color combo she used on her card here.

This card is also for Verve (VLVSEP01) sketch challenge. I am using Verve Bountiful Backgrounds, Budding Blossoms, and Enjoy stamp sets.

For the background panel, I stamped the fleur de lis from the bountiful backgrounds set. using soft suede. I stamped off so the image was lighter. I sponged ranger antique linen over the whole piece and used soft suede on the edges.

For the MS border punch lower panel, I sponged scarlet jewel onto this after punching.

The soft suede section, I used an EK border punch and sponged the soft suede panel. In keeping with the round theme, I used my cuttlebug swiss dots folder on the reverse side.

The next panel is the vertical lines with dots image from the Bountiful backgrounds set. I stamped in scarlet jewel, sponged with ranger antique linen, and soft suede on the edges. I added the same EK Success border punch, but did not allow the dots to show this time just the tiny scallop.

I stamped my focal image stem using ripe avocado and rocked and rolled a touch of soft suede. I stamped the flowers twice. I colored both with copics, but cut out and added one over the top of the others for some added dimension. I stenciled antique linen and some soft suede around border. I added a circle punch sentiment which I sponged with some ranger antique linen.

I finished my card with scarlet jewel satin ribbon and gold pearls.
