Viva la Verve Sketch! The Best DAD Ever!



Happy Tuesday!  I have a Verve card to share with you today using some newly release Verve and the Viva la Verve  Week 3 Sketch!  Janelle is the VLVsketch host this week.  I love this sketch.  Thanks, Janelle!   I turned it for a vertical card. 

For my card I am combining some newly released Verve with some favorites.   I am using Because of You, Protector, the newly released Super Dad and Purely Sentimental.   I  am also using the newly release coordinating Cut Above Ribbon Banner Die.

I chose to use the Because of You set as a Father's Day for the sentiments.  I used the build a sentiment technique that I have used with other cards.  The focal image requires two sentiments from the Because of You set.  Then, I stamped off to make the  navy colored word DAD lighter to give a bit of added dimension and sentiment layering.  I then added the fun ribbon banner die to the top and the bottom using the frame from Super Dad, one of the sentiments, and the star elements that come in the set.   For the other ribbon banner I used the Happy Father's Day sentiment from Purely Sentimental.  I rolled the edges a bit for some added dimension.  I inked and frayed distressed the edges and finished with a layered distress star topped with a gold tone button. 


As always thanks so much for stopping by!
