Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, Viva La Verve, and MORE!

Happy Sunday!  It is time for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge!  This week we are celebrating "No Kids Allowed" Birthday cards.   Check out the link to see the other dt samples and find out how to play along with us. This week ends my six month rotation designing with Stamptacular Sunday Challenges.  It has been a blast and so wonderful to be able to design with women all over the world.  I am always inspired and in awe how something as simple as paper crafting can bring the whole world together!   While language is a barrier in most instances when working on a global scale,  I must give a shout out for blogging and translate options that allows us all to communicate with each other.  I also want to give a wonderful Thank You to Priscilla who runs the SSC and has organizational skills that are over the top!   Thank you so much Cill for this opportunity!  Keeping you in my prayers!   {{Hugs}}  and Blessings!

For my card I am using Viva La Verve sketch week 5.  Sankari is the host this week.  I thought this was a great sketch to incorporate some fun patterns and colors of dp that I have had for a bit and not used with MME Alphabet Soup Girl dp.  I am using Verve's Abundant Blessings, Beautiful You, and Sweet Treats stamp sets.  I also use the embossed oval die for my  the You Rock sentiment.  Had to throw that cool sentiment in there for some pizzazz.    I love making this die cut a little tag, too.  It is the perfect size.  Just punch a hole and tie it on.  My dd has asked me for several Birthday Cards for her friends.  Sometimes I am not sure if it is for a guy or a girl.  I am thinking this one is a bit girly, though.  I like changing up the standard Birthday sentiment for a quote at times.   For the rest of the card, I chose to go with some black contrast regular and zig zag stitching.   I stamped the flowers in Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with copics.  I added some glitter around the petals for fun and topped the main one off with a silver pearl.  I added my sentiment that speaks of music to coordinate with my musical score dp.  I let my bow and tag represent the double circle detailing on the sketch. 

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!
