Hope! Mojo Sketch, Moxie Fab, and MORE!

Happy Saturday! I have a Verve card to share today using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch 207. For my card, I am using Verve's Sunny Days, Swan Song, and Hope Perches Plain Jane stamp sets. I layered some My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Collection designer papers for each of the panels and the background. I stitched and ink distressed. I used the smaller sprig image from the Sunny Days set along with Verve's Leafy Sprigs die. I layered a couple Spellbinder's petite ovals for the focal image and quote. I added my bow and a few touches of buttons to finish the card. I must admit that this sketch was a bit tricky for me. I had to position the front panel so that my birds and pennants still showed on the skewed panels.

This card is also for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge. I used the same colors, but focused on different values of the shades. I added buttons, pennant, stitching, and birds along with different patterns and textures.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

I am playing along with a few other blog challenges as well!

This sketch threw me for a tail spin LOL! I have pretty well mastered dealing with one skewed panel, but two is a bit much, especially after not stamping much for the past few weeks. So...I will live vicariously through your gorgeous creations :) Fabulous card!

Oh Betty this is gorgeous! If you ever want to share how you make your beautiful bows, I would be extremely happy! I just can't make mine look like that with the seam binding for anything. I can mess around with it for an hour and still it looks awful.
