Thanks for Being So Kind: Viva La Verve Sketch!

Happy Friday!  It is a new month and a new Viva La Verve Sketch Challenge. I have a card to share using February's  Viva La Verve Sketch.

For my card, I started with some pattern papers that I have had in my stash for awhile. For the focal images, I used Verve's Poppy Birthday stamp set and Build a Poppy die set. I changed up the leaves a bit and used Verve's Dream Big stamp set and Dreamy Leaves die set.  I used Verve's Kindness Matters stamp set for the perfect sentiment.  

The decorative edge detailing is from Verve's Scalloped Trim Trio die set and  I used the stitched rectangle from Verve's Falling Leaves die set.  I finished my card with some clear sequins.  I could not resist adding some glimmer pen accenting to the centers of my poppies.  

 I am playing along with The Card Concept 

and 

Tic Tac Toe Challenge. (Across the center:Free(pattern papers), die cut, and sequins.  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday: Viva La Verve Sketch Recap!

Happy Friday!  I am popping in with another card for this month's Verve    Viva La Verve Sketch.

This card is just screaming with primary colors and patterns.  I needed  a male birthday card so I think this works.  I started out with some fun pattern papers from my stash.  I used Verve  Falling Leaves, Flourised Tag,  and Starry Die die sets to create the balloons. For the main balloon I used Verve's Small Packages  stamp set to stamp the sentiment.

 Next, I die cut a few of the and Wavy Hearts  stars to embellish a few of the balloons with star accents.  I added some 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and frayed the edges for some added detailing.  I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

I am playing along with Seize the Birthday and Tic Tac Toe Challenge. 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

God's Love, Wisdom, and Grace: Viva La Verve Sketch!

Happy Friday!  It is a new year and a new month for Viva La Verve Sketch Challenges. I have a card to share using January's  Viva La Verve Sketch.

For my card, I used some distressed 12X12 pattern papers that I have had in my stash for a long while.  I combined Verves   Be Blessed, More than Love, New Mercies, Better Together stamps for the background, heart, and sentiments on the focal image.

   I used Verve dies in  Wavy Hearts Die Set, Heart Quartet and the Falling Leaves.  In keeping with the sketch, I layered a piece of pink and white twine that I frayed the ends of once I ties them to go along with the distressed feel of the background paper.  I finished my card with some clear sequins.  I am playing along with DiesRUsChallenge.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
