Your In My Thoughts! Viva La Verve and MORE!





Happy Sunday!  I spent some time in my craft room cleaning yesterday.  It is a never ending job.  Funny thing is, once it is cleaned I feel like stamping so another crafty mess.  A vicious cycle. All be it a fun one.  

This card is for VLV Week 2 Sketch Challenge.   Amy Sheffer is the host this week.  Fun sketch, Amy!   For my card I am using Verve's  Forever in Our Hearts, Amazing Wishes, and Tag Time stamp sets.  I am also using Verve's Tiny Sweet Scallop dies.


I combined these sets with my new Prima Printery paper pack. I stamped the main image and added a few touches ebony glitter. I stitched and ink distressed the panels.  I added a flower with some precut text leaves that I vintaged up a bit.   I finished with a flower, layered tags, memory thread bow, and black gems.


As always thanks so much for stopping by!
